User's Manual
1. Summary of Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer
The FDIR-V16 is a high technologymedical thermometer for measuring eardrum and forehead
temperature of human body via in frared rays emitted from the eardrum and skin surface.
Following the correct way to measure is very important to obtain a precise temperature.
To ensure proper use, please be sure to read this user manual carefully.
In order to properly use this product, please carefully read the full text of this manual before using,
in particular the“safety precautions”section.
Please keep these instructions handy ina safe placefor reference.
2. Safety precautions
All the materials used in the FDIR-V16 have passed the non toxicity testing of the
international regulations.
Warning
Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your physician. It is
dangerous for users to perform a self-evaluation and self-treatment based on the measuring result. Be
sure to follow doctor’s instruction.
Keep the thermometer out of reach of children. If thebattery or other component is swallowed
nent, please consult a doctor immediately.
Don’t throw the battery into fire.
Notice
The device is a precision instrument, don’t drop, tramp or impose any vibration or impact on the ther-
mometer.
Do not touch the lens of the probe with your fingers, and do not dissemble the device by yourself.
Before measuring the temperature, make sure there is no hair or sweat in the way.
After you do some exercise, eating and bathing, you should stay still indoors about 30 minutes before
measurement.
To make the measurement data reliable and stable, when ambient temperature varies a lot, the ther-
mometer should be placed indoors for about 30 minutes before using.
When we measure somebody continuously, the temperature should be measured every minute, if
you need to measure yourself continuously for a short time, there are some slight errors when you
read the temperature ,which is a normal phenomenon. At this time, we should choose the average.
There is no absolute standard about the temperature of the human, so please try to collect the re
-
cording of individual temperature in normal conditions, as a reference for having a fever or not.
Do not measure the sites of scarred tissue or tissue compromised by skin disorders, because sensing
body temperature from sites of scarred tissue or tissue compromised by skin disorders.
Do not measure the forehead temperature if the patient has trauma on forehead.
Do not measure when the measuring site (forehead) is exposed to direct sunlight, fireplace heat,
cold compress therapies, direct air conditioner flow. If you are in these environments please leave
and wait for 30 minutes to measure.
Do not immerse the device into water or any other liquid, and don’t expose directlytosunlight.
In order to ensure the accuracy of measurement data, please don’t take measurement of body tem
perature in strong electromagnetic interference environment (such as microwave, high frequency
equipment operation environment).
3. Intended use

Children and babies should not operate the thermometer.
4. Temperature Measurement Modes and Range Description:
The infrared thermometer has the following measurement modes:
1) Forehead temperature measurement mode -- measures the skin surface of human forehead’s
temperature accurately.
2) Eardrum temperature measurement mode—measures the skin surface of a humans eardrum
temperature accurately.
Normal temperature range for di erent measuring position:
Measuring position Normal temperature (°C) Normal temperature (°F)
Anus 36.6-38.0 97.9-100.4
Oral 35.5-37.5 95.9-99.5
Armpit 34.7-37.3 94.5-99.1
Forehead 35.8-38.0 96.4-100.4
ear 35.5-37.8 95.9-100
Normal Forehead Temperature Range Based on Dierent Ages:
Ages Normal temperature (°C) Normal temperature (°F)
0-2 years old 36.4-38.0 97.5-100.4
3-10 years old 36.1-37.8 97.0-100.0
11-65 years old 35.9-37.6 96.6-99.7
＞65 years old 35.8-37.5 96.4-99.5
NOTE: The normal temperature and di erence between the di erent body parts can vary between
individuals.
To dene your average temperature, measure your temperature for a least 2 weeks
in the same ear canal and forehead position.
NOTE: When consulting your physician, communicate the temperature that the thermometer
recorded and in what positionand roomenvironment as well as your normalbody
temperature range as additional reference.
NOTE: Because the forehead temperature is a ected by the external environment (eg:
environment, air conditoning and color, etc),we advise that you take the forehead
temperature only as reference. When you have a doubt about the measurement
result, please use the ear temperature to con rm it.

If there are problems, th e LCD will display “Err” symbol. Check if the sensor laser is dirty or
damaged.
4) To ensure anaccurate measuring result, put the thermometer in the measurement
environment for 30 minutesso the thermometer is acclimatized.
5) Accuracy of unexpected uctuations in ambient temperature may decrease the measurement
results. When the thermometer displays di erent ambient temperaturesin the same position it
may not be able to provide an accurate result. Be sure to take the temperature in an
environment where the room termpature is stable (ie not in front of an air conditioner).
6) Clean forehead and move hair aside. The forehead should be unobstructed and clean, in order
to ensure the accuracy of the measurement.
7) The probe tip is required to be cleaned after each use so it can be re-used. See chapter 6
above “Care and Cleaning”. After ensuring the thermometer is clean you should always

【Instruction for use】
1) Before measurement begins.
Power on
For the rst use, put the battery inside the battery compartment. The product into the o state, press
the [Power /Scan] button to turn on. Itwillthen boot as follows:
- Red backlight on, then Green backlight on, then boot LCD 2 seconds.
- Green LCD light turns on at the same time and the LCD shows last temperature
recording
- The thermometer then enters the measurementstate.
(2) User selection
Press memory key for3 seconds to select user 1 or user 2.
(3) Measurement unit selection
Press unit key to set measurement unit (°F or °C).
(4) Measure selected site
Put on the probe cover to switch to forehead mode or leave it o and and the thermometer enters
into the ear measuring mode.
When measuring the ear temperature, insert the probe into the ear first, then press the power
key. One second later you will hear“Beep”, and you can remove the thermometer.
TEMPERATURE TAKING HINTS
The right ear temperature may di er from the left ear. Therefore, always take the
temperature in the same ear.
The ear must be free from obstruction or excess earwax build-up to take an accurate reading.
External factors may in uence ear temperatures, including when an individual has:
- beenlying onone earorthe other
- hadtheirearscovered
- beenexposedtoveryhot orverycoldtemperatures
- beenrecentlyswimming orbathing.
In these cases, remove the individual from the situation and wait 30 minutes prior to taking a tem-
perature.
Use the untreated ear if prescription ear drops or other ear medications have been placed in
the ear canal.
Don’t use the thermometer outdoors.
(2) Forhead temperature measure
Install the forehead cap, and press the scan button directly to measure the forehead temperature.
When measuring the forehead temperature, put the tip of the probe on your forehead and press the
scan button. The display will thenshow the tempreature reading in one second.
TEMPERATURE TAKING HINTS
Before take the temperature, please brush back anyhair to prevent measurement deviation.
The sweat on head or cosmetic can a ect the accuracy of measurement. Please maintain the
cleanness of the forehead when measuring.
It is normal that there may be temperature di erence depending on various skin types and
color, since di erent skin type will re ect di erent voltage of infrared ray.
Don’t use the thermometer outdoors.
(3) Temperature test information
If the temperature range is 89.6°F -99.5°F (32°C -37.5°C), the green backlight will display.
If the temperature is above 99.6°F-109.2°F(37.6°C~42.9°C), the red backlight will display.
If the measured temperature is higher than 109.2°F (42.9°C) , it will display“ Hl”.
If the measured temperature is below 89.6°F (32°C) , it will display“Lo”.
AUSTRALIA
Please read the guide carefully before use and keep it in a safe place.
For American please refer to “°F”, for European please refer to “°C”.
Battery Compartment
The measurement is completed.
If the sensor’s lens is damaged, please stop using itand contact Customer Care.
If the ambient temperature outside the range of 50°F -104°F (10-40°C), the thermometer shows“Err”;
