Tips for forehead temperatures with the CareTemp Touch Free Thermometer 1. If the eyebrow area is covered with hair, sweat, or dirt, clean the area and wait 10 minutes before taking a measurement. 2. Hold the thermometer and the forehead steady during measurement. Movement can impact the measurement. 3. After pressing Measure, the thermometer allows 20 seconds to capture the measurement. If you press Measure again before the 20 second time limit is up, the process restarts. If the measurement is not completed in 20 seconds, the device displays Err h. Press Measure to restart the process. 4. To recall a measurement, press the Memory button (Mem) to display the temperature in memory with a MEM indicator. The LCD displays the temperature stored in the thermometer's memory for 10 seconds. Memory is available directly from the off state, when no measurement is displayed, or immediately following a new measurement if a comparison to the prior reading is needed. Once the thermometer is powered off or a new measurement is initiated, the last temperature taken becomes the reading in memory. 5. Clean the sensor window with a slightly moistened cotton swab or cloth with isopropyl or ethyl alcohol and gently wipe the surface of the lens using a side-to-side (not circular) motion. After cleaning wait 10 minutes before taking another measurement. Use a pre-moistened wipe or soft cloth slightly moistened with an approved cleaner to gently clean the thermometer body.
