3. Avoid direct finger contact with the lens.
4. No modification of this equipment is allowed.
5. It is recommended that user may take 3 temperatures. If
they are different, use the highest reading.
6. Do not expose the thermometer to extreme temperature,
very high humidity, or direct sunlight.
7. Avoid extreme shock or dropping the device.
8. Before the measurement, patients and thermometer should
stay in steady state room condition for at least 30 minutes.
9. Avoid measuring temperature in 30 minutes after exercise,
bathing, or returning from outdoor.

Battery Installation
Low battery warning:
When the battery power becomes low, the
low battery symbol will appear on the display.
The thermometer can still be used during this
time, but the batteries should be replaced as
soon as possible. If the batteries run out
completely, “Lo” will be displayed along with
the low battery symbol. In this case, the batteries will need to
be replaced before using the thermometer again.
Replacing the Battery:
1. Gently slide the battery cover back.
2. Carefully remove the old batteries and properly discard.
3. Insert new batteries (Two 1.5V alkaline AAA Size)
according to the proper polarity.
4. Slide the battery cover back on.
NOTE: Battery-operated
1. Please properly dispose of the batteries away from small
children and heat.
2. It is recommended to remove the batteries if the unit will not
be used for an extended period of time.
3. For long durations of non-operation, please remove all
batteries from the device.
4. Batteries must be disposed of in accordance with local
environmental and institutional policies.
5. Dispose of used batteries in accordance with the applicable
legal regulations. Never dispose of batteries in the normal
household waste.
5
Switching Between Fahrenheit or Celsius
Your thermometer can display results in
either degrees Celsius (°C) or degrees
Fahrenheit (°F).
To switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit,
while the unit is on press and hold both the
Human/Object button and the Memory button
for approximately 3 seconds. This will change
the mode to either °C or °F. Once the
thermometer beeps, at which time the mode
has been changed and you may release the
buttons.
Switching between 4 Kinds of Scan Mode
1. Under power on status, you can press the Human/Object
button to switch different scan mode. There are 4 kinds of
mode which including Human, Object, Human/Night, and
Object/Night mode (in order).
2. The beep sounds will be closed when your choice in
Human/Night mode, and Object/Night mode, and the Moon
symbol will appears on the LCD in both Night mode.
NOTE:
Each press will comes with a beep sound to ensure the setting
is activated. (Except both Night modes)
6
Tips for Measuring Human Temperature
Bear in mind that the thermometer needs to have been in the
room in which the measurement is taken for at least 30
minutes before use.
NOTE:
• Attempting to take temperature readings from sites on the
body other than the forehead may produce inaccurate
results.
• The patient should remain still while the reading is being
taken.
• Infrared forehead temperature readings are equivalent to
oral temperature readings. In all of these cases, please
consult your doctor.
• Readings taken while asleep should not be compared
directly to readings taken while awake, as body
temperature while asleep is typically lower.
• Do not take body temperature readings within 30 minutes
of being outdoors, exercising or bathing.
Measuring Human Temperature
Taking a Measurement
1. Press the Measure button to power on the thermometer.
The unit will run a self-test and the LCD will briefly display
all of its symbols during this time. When the device is ready,
‘00’ will appear on the screen, and the thermometer will
beep twice.
2. Select the desired mode by pressing and releasing the
Human/Object button.
Note:
- When taking a patient’s temperature, ensure that the
thermometer is in Human mode; the Human symbol
“ ”will appear on the display.
- If the patient’s skin is covered with hair, sweat, or dirt, clean
the area and wait 10 minutes before taking a measurement.
- Ensure that the thermometer is held firmly during
measurement and that the patient does not move until the
measurement is complete. Movement can impact the
measurement.
7
Measuring Human Temperature
3. Position the thermometer under 3cm (around 1 inches)
from the center of the patient's forehead with the sensor
aimed between the eyebrows.
4. Press and release the Measure button.
5. Slowly move the device toward or farther from the
forehead until you have reached the correct distance. (If
the distance is beyond the correct distance, the dash-icon
on the display flashes with beep sound in this sequence
until the correct distance is achieved. )
Note:
When the user presses the measure button,
this workflow begins and they have 20
seconds to capture the temperature. After 20
seconds, the display turn to stand-by mode.
6. As you hear a short beep means this
temperature reading has been completed
and accompany with a back-light.
7. If the temperature measurement is below
38°C, a “Smiling Face ” will be appear
next to the reading. If the reading is 38°C
or above, a “Frowning Face ” will be
displayed and the RED LED light up.
8. After about 30 seconds after use, the
thermometer will automatically beep and
shut off.
Fever Alarm:
Only in Human Mode and Human/Night Mode
8
Measuring Object/Liquid Temperature
1. Press the Power button to turn the
thermometer on. All symbols on the display
will momentarily appear.
2. Ensure that the thermometer is in Object
mode; the Object symbol will be on the
display. To alternate between modes press
and release the Human/Object Mode button
until you see the desired measurement
symbol on the display.
3. Position the thermometer under 3cm (around 1 inches)
from the object.
4. Press and release the “Power & Measure button” and the
temperature reading will be displayed.
5. After about 30 seconds after use, the thermometer will
automatically beep and shut off.
9
Memory Function
Memory Recall:
You can recall up to 30 measurements currently stored in
memory to share with your physician or
trained healthcare professional.
1. When the device is on, press once briefly
on the "MEM button", then pass it again
to show the last measurement
accompanied by “” symbol.
2. The “” symbol or “ ” symbol will appear with each
measurement stored in memory to indicate whether a
person or object temperature was taken.
3. Each press of the same button recalls a previous
measurement, so “” then all the way to “ ”.
Memory Deletion:
1. Under power on status, you may keep press MEM Button
for more than 3 seconds to delete all the readings.
2. You will see "00" on display and “sound a beep”, that
mean all the memories are cleared.
3. Automatically on the 31th measurement:
when the 30 memories have been used up, any new
measurement will be recorded with “ ” and the oldest
memory deleted without you having to do anything.
Note:
All the readings will be cleared no matter record in Human
mode or Object mode.

EMC Tables
Medical Electrical Equipment needs special precautions regarding
EMC and needs to be installed and put into service according to
the EMC information.
1. Electromagnetic/Radio Frequency Interference (EMC/RFI):
Readings may be affected if the unit is operated within a radio
frequency electromagnetic fi eld strength of approximately 3
volts per meter, but the performance of the instrument will not
be permanently affected. Care should be taken to keep the
NT16B at least 6 inches away from R/C transmitters to avoid
radio frequency interference.
2. Avoid keeping the NT16B too close to objects that continuously
generate high heat (like a hot plate) for long periods of time,
which can cause overheating of the NT16B.
