Thermometer (FT101) as your personal healthcare product o choice.
The FT101 Forehead Thermometer is a Class II, over-the-counter,
non-invasive, non-sterile, reusable, in rared clinical electrical
thermometer intended or the intermittent measurement and
assessment o the skin orehead temperature or people o all ages.
Your new orehead thermometer is designed to give you many years
o reliable service, and includes the ollowing conveniences:
• Quick, easy-to-use design with large LCD display or viewing
temperature readings.
• Bright LCD backlight or viewing temperature readings in the
dark.
• Sa e, accurate, non-invasive body temperature readings
correlated to axillary (under arm) measurements.
• Automatic time and date stamping o the last ten temperature
readings taken, with recall and memory erase eatures.
• Temperature conversion into Fahrenheit and Celsius degrees.
• Long battery li e (typically one or more years, depending on use).
• 10 disposable hygienic sensor covers.
This manual contains important sa ety and care in ormation, and
provides step-by-step instructions or using this product. Keep the
manual in a sa e place, in case you need to re er to it later.

do not continue to use it or attempt to repair or modi y it by
yoursel . There are no user-serviceable parts inside the unit.
Contact the retailer or our customer service department or
servicing.
HOW THE FOREHEAD THERMOMETER WORKS
When properly administered by swiping the sensor probe across
the orehead and temple region, this product provides accurate,
near-instantaneous readings that can be used to gauge normal
and elevated body temperatures (e.g., ever). According to clinical
test results, the readings gathered by this device are correlated to
the axillary (under arm) method.
How the thermometer works
As the thermometer moves across the orehead, an in rared sensor
located within the sensor probe detects the skin temperature. The
thermometer then converts this reading to body temperature using
specialized, proprietary so tware that accounts or body heat trans er
di erences and environmental actors such as how cool or warm
the room is. The body temperature is then shown on the LCD display
or you to read.
For best results, observe the ollowing guidelines when using the
thermometer:
• 20 minutes prior to use, place the orehead thermometer in the
room where the measurement will be taken. Five minutes prior,
place the person whose temperature is to be measured in the
same room as the thermometer. This results in more accurate
readings by allowing the person’s skin temperature to reach
equilibrium with the room temperature, and the thermometer’s
environmental compensation so tware to register the room
temperature prior to measurement.

• Gently wipe and dry the orehead prior to taking a measurement.
• Thoroughly clean the unit and sensor probe a ter each use.
• Turn the thermometer o or a ew minutes between
measurements to avoid overheating the sensor and resultant
measurement errors. The thermometer has not ully cooled

showing on the LCD display.
Information on body temperat re
Body temperature is a measurement o the amount o heat that the
body conducts. A healthy body has a mechanism or regulating the
temperature within a narrow, sa e range that is productive or its
normal operation. This mechanism can become blocked during
illness, which can result in temperature elevation ( ever) or
depression.
There is no single, normal temperature range or healthy people.
Rather, body temperature luctuates rom person to person and is
a ected by age and time o day. For example, the normal body
temperature or small in ants is usually 1 – 2 degrees higher than
that o healthy adults, and or most people, body temperature lowers
at night while sleeping, and elevates during the day. To gain an
accurate gauge o a person’s normal range, take a temperature
reading several times daily or 3 – 4 days while the person is known
to be healthy.
Temperature measurements are also impacted by the type o
measurement method used. Rectal temperature is generally 1/2 to
1 degree higher than oral temperature, and axillary temperature is
generally 1/2 to 1 degree lower than oral. The ollowing chart lists
general temperature ranges or each method.

GETTING STARTED
Unpacking the forehead thermometer
When you unpack your orehead thermometer, make sure to keep
all the packing materials in a sa e place, in case you need to later
transport or return it or servicing.

Batteries
This product requires two (2) 3-volt CR2032 batteries to operate.
The unit is shipped with a pair o batteries already installed. To
conserve battery li e during shipment, a clear plastic tab is inserted
between the batteries and the connection terminal: Yo will need
to remove the tab before yo se the thermometer.
CR2032 batteries generally have a long battery li e (1 or more
years), but need to be replaced whenever the low battery indicator
( ) shows on the LCD display. It is recommended that you take
the unit to the retailer whenever you need to exchange the batteries.
To change the batteries:
1. Remove the battery compartment door located on the back o
the sensor probe.
2. With a small Phillips screwdriver, remove the two screws that
hold the metal bracket in place. Set the screws and bracket aside.

3. Remove the old batteries. The batteries are stacked one on top
o the other in the battery compartment.
4. Gently slide in the new batteries with the positive (+) polarity
acing up.
5. Replace the metal bracket and screws.
6. Tighten the screws with a Phillips screwdriver until they are
secure.
7. Replace the battery compartment door, and gently close it.
Note: Batteries can be harm ul to the environment. Contact
your local waste disposal authority or proper disposal
instructions.
T rning the thermometer off and on
Press to turn the thermometer o and on.
Setting the calendar clock and meas rement nit
The orehead thermometer includes a 50-year auto-calendar and
optional measurement units in Fahrenheit or Celsius degrees.
These settings are used to maintain a record o the last 10
temperature readings taken, and only need to be set the irst time
you use the thermometer, and whenever you replace the batteries.
To set the calendar clock and measurement unit:
1. Press to turn on the thermometer.
2. Press mode until “12hr” lashes on the display.
3. (Optional) Press to switch between “12hr” and “24hr” time
display.
4. Press mode until the hour lashes on the display.
5. Repeat Steps 3 – 4 to change the hour, minute, year, display
ormat (M/D or D/M), month, date, and unit o measurement.
6. When you are inished, press mode to accept the changes.
