It is not necessary to calibrate the device when it is first use. To obtain reliable, stable results, please follow below instruction. - Check the unit if there is any damage in appearance, check the LCD screen full display as below picture. Do not use the unit if any abnormality and contact your retailer. If battery capacity is low, follow the instruction to change a new battery.

5 / 13 深圳理思科技有限公司 Visiomed Technology Co., Ltd. - Before any new temperature measurement, wait for the screen to turn off. - It is advisable, with each change of environment with a significant difference in ambient temperature, leave the MyThermo Pocket at this ambient temperature for at least 30 minutes before use. It is important to wait a period of 1 minute between measurements. If the person come from the different ambient temperature than the unit, please stay at least 5 minutes before taking temperature. - If there is sweat on forehead or use ice to cool the temperature may cause the measuring temperature lower than its real value, do not use the unit under this circumstance. 6. BODY TEMPERATURE The normal body temperature is located within a range, and a fixed value. Everyone has their own temperature range. When the body temperature rises or falls, the body initially regulates its temperature from the brain. Since the forehead and the ear are the body parts nearest the brain, they are the first to be informed of a temperature rise. Practical considerations when taking a temperature - In the interests of precision and measurement quality, it is essential that each user is adequately informed and trained in the temperature measurement technique when using such a device. - It is essential to remember that the procedure of taking a temperature although simple, should not be ignored. - The patient should not carry out strenuous activities before taking their temperature. - Temperature fluctuations due to physiological factors must be taken into consideration in the evaluation of the results: • The temperature increases by 0.5°C/0.9°F between 6:00 and 15:00, • The average temperature of women is about 0.2°C / 0.36°F and varies according to their ovarian cycle, • It increases by 0.5°C/0.9°F during the first half of the cycle and during the first months of pregnancy. • Age, sex, type and thickness of skin. - The temperature of a seated person is lower by around 0.3°C - –.4°C/0.54°F - –.52°F than that of a person standing.

P123 [Consulted on 25 July 2016] Available at http://social-sante.gouv.fr/IMG/pdf/ Recommendations_ sanitaires_Plan_canicule_2014. Pdf 7. SUGGESTIONS BEFORE MEASURING 1. Replace batteries that are too drained to effectively power the unit. 2. For a proper reading, condition the thermometer by placing it in the environment where the measurement will be taken 30 minutes before use. 3. An unexpected fluctuation of the ambient temperature may distort the accuracy of the reading. For example, if the temperature of the place where the measurement is taken is different from the temperature where the thermometer is stored, when one wants to take a temperature reading near an air conditioner. The results will be unreliable. 4. The measurement should be taken at rest, to yield accurate results. Body temperature is likely to increase just after exercise or after a bath. 5. Before taking a temperature, in order to obtain a stable, reliable result - Take care to brush away the hair. - Wipe any sweat from the brow. - Avoid air flows (e.g. supplemental oxygen, air conditioning, etc.). - Wait a period of 1 minute between measurements. - With each change of environment having a high ambient temperature difference, leave the thermometer at this ambient

For the first use or when inserting new batteries, wait about 10 minutes to preheat the device. 1.For a forehead measurement 4. Picture A （1） Before measuring, dry your forehead and fix the forehead temperature cap on the device. （2） Press the measurement button once to start the temperature reading and release it. The last measuring result will be displayed after a full-screen-display. Aim the infrared probe at the forehead, and the probe need touch skin gently, then press the measuring button for one second. The unit will beep once. It indicates the measurement is completed. LCD Screen will display the measured temperature value, if the temperature exceeds the alarm temperature value, the buzzer will beep four times. （3） The infrared probe should be pointed to the centre of forehead (above the eyebrow) and kept vertical, the measured site cannot be covered by hair, and the device should be in contact with the forehead. （4） Holding the device in long time will make the detector read a higher ambient temperature, which may lead to an inaccurate measurement. (lower than actual temperature) （5） Keep static during the measuring. （6） The measured site is showed on picture A. 2. For a tympanic temperature measurement Picture B （1） Before measuring, take off the forehead temperature cap. Insert the tympanic probe along the ear canal. （2） Press the measuring button to start, the last measuring result will be displayed after a full-screen-display. Insert the tympanic probe along the ear canal, and then press the measuring button for one second. The unit will beep once. it indicates the measurement is completed, and the LCD screen will display the measured temperature value. （3） If the temperature exceeds the alarm temperature value, the buzzer will beep four times.
7 / 13 深圳理思科技有限公司 Visiomed Technology Co., Ltd. （4） Clean the ear canal before measuring. （5） In case of difficulty for inserting the probe, you can gently pull the ears backwards, insert gently along the ear canal, do not insert it strongly. （6） The measured site is showed on picture B.
