The thermometer then converts it into a temperature value.  Cautions and Warnings • As with any thermometer, proper technique is crucial to obtaining accurate temperature readings. Please read this manual thoroughly and carefully before using. • Always operate the thermometer in an operating temperature range 10°C to 40°C (50°F to 104°F), and relative humidity15 to 95%. • Always store the thermometer in a cool and dry place -25°C to 55°C (-13°F to 131°F) and relative humidity 15% to 95%. • The device requires no calibration. The product has been calibrated before the factory inspection. • The device contains no user serviceable parts. • The user must check that the equipment functions safely and see that it is in proper working condition before being use • The manufacturer does not require such preventive inspections by other persons. • No modification of this equipment is allowed. • The device is not suitable for use in the presence of flammable anesthetic mixtures with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide. • Manufacturer will provide circuit diagrams, component part lists, descriptions, calibration  instructions to assist to SERVICE PERSONNEL in parts repair. • Do not clean or maintenance the device is in use. • Avoid direct sunlight. • Avoid dropping the thermometer, if it happens and you think the thermometer may be damaged, please contact customer services immediately. • Do not touch the lens. • Do not disassemble the thermometer. • Basic safety precautions should always be observed, especially when the thermometer is used on or near children and disabled persons. • This thermometer is not intended to substitute for a consultation with your physician. • This thermometer and the subject must remain in a stable environment for at least 30 minutes before measuring the temperature. • When the measured temperature falls within the fever temperature range of ≥37.8°C (100.04°F) and <42.9°C (109.22°F), as indicated by the red LED on display, please consult with your physician immediately. Restrictions of Use This thermometer is clinically proven to produce accurate temperature measurements. However, please be advised that the accuracy can not be ensured when the thermometer is not clean. Check that the probe is clean before taking a measurement. Intended Use A200 Infrared Thermometer is intended for the intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature from forehead measurement at home, clinics and hospital. A control measurement using a conventional thermometer is recommended in the following cases: 1. If the reading is surprisingly low. 2. For new-born infants, up to 100 days old. 3. For children under three years of age who have a weakened immune system or who react unusually in the presence or absence of fever.  2  3  4  MEMORY... 11 Recalling the Memory... 11 Clear the memory... 11 MAINTENANCE... 12 Care & Cleaning... 12 FAULT INDICATION... 12 SYMBOL INFORMATION... 13 SPECIFICATIONS... 14 DISPOSAL OF DEVICE... 15 REFERENCE OF STANDARDS... 15 Device Standards:... 15 Classification:... 15 Electromagnetic Compatibility:... 15 WARRANTY... 17 MANUFACTURER’S DECLARATION OF THE EMC... 21  BEFORE YOU BEGIN  1  Long-press the Measurement Button for 5 seconds until the signal -- °C or °F displayed on the LCD panel as figure shown. Re-press the Measurement Button to select °C or °F unit.  Turn ON/OFF the Led Light This meter provides Led Light to help users placing the thermometer at the correct position. Be sure the thermometer is OFF before turn ON/OFF the Led Light.  1. Long-press the Measurement Button for seconds until Signal -- °C or °F displayed on the LCD panel. 2 Release the measurement button, then short-press the ON/OFF Button, the signal -- Led or OFF will displayed on the LCD panel as figure shown. 3 Quick press the measurement button, and select Led or OFF to turn ON/OFF the Led Light. Replacing the Battery The meter will display “ ” to alert you when the meter power is getting low, please follow the steps below to replace new batteries immediately. 6  1. Remove the battery cover as the arrow direction accordingly. 2. Remove the old batteries and replace with two 1.5V AAA size alkaline batteries. Taking care to match the Positive ( + ) and Negative ( - ) indications 3. Close the battery cover as the arrow direction accordingly. NOTE: 1. Although the thermometer works when “ ”, appearing, we still recommend that you change the batteries to obtain an accurate result. 2. Remove the batteries if stored for a long period of time. 3. The batteries should be kept away out of children’s reach. If they are swallowed, promptly see a doctor for help.  DETAILED INFORMATION  About Normal Body Temperature & Fever The temperature in the forehead and temple area differs from the internal temperature, which is taken orally or rectally. Vasoconstriction, an effect which constricts the blood vessels and cools the skin, can occur during the early stages of a fever. In this case, the temperature measured by the A200 Infrared thermometer may be unusually low. If the measurement therefore does not match the patient’s own perception or is unusually low, repeat the measurement every 15 minutes. As a reference, you can also measure the internal body temperature using a conventional oral or rectal thermometer. Body temperature can 7  vary from one individual/person to next. It also varies by location on the body and time of day. Below shows the statistical normal ranges from different sites. Please keep in mind that temperatures measured from different sites, even at the same time, should not be directly compared. Fever indicates that the body temperature is higher than normal. This symptom may be caused by infection, overdressing or immunization. Some people may not experience fever even when they are ill. These include, but are not limited to, infants younger than 3 months old, persons with compromised immune systems, persons taking antibiotics, steroids or antipyretics (aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen), or persons with certain chronic illnesses. Please consult your physician when you feel ill even if you do not have fever. Table*1 Normal Temperature Range of various body sites Oral  0.6°C (1°F) or more above or below 37°C (98.6°F)  Rectal/ear  0.3°C to 0.6°C (0.5°F to 1°F) higher than oral temperature  Axillary (armpit)  0.3°C to 0.6°C (0.5°F to 1°F) lower than oral temperature  PERFORM THE TEST  As a Body Measurement Thermometer Press “ON/OFF” Button to turn on the thermometer first.  Push the Mode switch to select Body mode. The temperature unit flashes.  8  Move the probe close to the forehead and take measurements Make sure the probe is flat and close to the forehead, not at an angle. Perform a forehead measurement with a distance within 3 cm. Read the result. The measurement result will be done in 1 second. The reading is shown together with LED lighting and one long beep informs about the temperature measurement, and after a while another short beep, confirming the saving of the result to the memory and readiness for the next measurement. Press the “ON/OFF” button to turn off the unit, or leave it idle for 30 seconds the unit will switch off automatically. NOTE: • As the forehead measurement temperature is likely to be affected by sweat, oil and the surroundings, the reading shall be taken as a reference only. • If the probe is placed at an angle close to the forehead measurement, the reading will be affected by surrounding temperature. Babies’ skin reacts very quickly to the ambient temperature. Therefore, do not take their temperature with the A200 Infrared thermometer during or after breastfeeding, because the skin temperature may then be lower than the internal body temperature. • If the measured temperature is < 32°C (89.6°F), the display will show with LO symbol. • If the reading is≥ 37.8°C (100.04°F) and < 42.9°C (109.22°F), the display will show together with red LED and six short beeps. 9  NOTE: The thermometer does not emit any infrared energy. Highlighted Features • Measurement that does not require probe cover, thereby saving cost of replacement. • Automatically power off if left idle for 30 seconds. • Memory function allows you to recall previous results up to 25 previous results. • Easy to read LCD with green backlight in a dark environment. • Color visible of fever (red) and measurement in progress (green).
