User’s Manual for DualScan™ Prime Digital Thermometer INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the DualScan Prime Thermometer from Mobi Technologies, Inc. The thermometer has been carefully developed for accurate, safe and fast human body temperature measurements from forehead or ear readings and object temperature measurements to ensure safe temperatures. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Research indicates that the ear is an ideal site for taking body temperature.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (cont.) • Earwax in the ear canal or lipid on the forehead may cause an inaccurate measurement, so make sure the ear canal or forehead is clean. KEEP INFRARED SENSOR CLEAN • If you clean the ear or forehead, please wait 5~10 minutes before measuring. • Don't touch or blow on the infrared sensor. A dirtied infrared sensor may cause inaccuracy.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (cont.) • Don't take apart, repair or change any parts of the unit at any time. • Don't use a mobile phone nearby when the thermometer is working. If your thermometer will not be used on a regular basis, remove batteries to prevent possible damage due to chemical leakage. If battery does leak, remove carefully. • Do not allow bare skin to touch leaking fluid.

NOTES BEFORE USE 1. To achieve accurate measurements, it is very important to ensure that the infrared sensor is clean before using. To clean the sensor, gently wipe its surface with a cotton swab slightly moistened with alcohol and immediately wipe dry with a clean cotton swab. After cleaning, allow at least 20 minutes drying time before taking temperatures. 2. Earwax in the ear canal or moisture on the forehead may cause an inaccurate measurement, so make sure the ear canal or forehead is clean.
TO MEASURE FOREHEAD TEMPERATURE 1. Be sure Forehead Probe Cover is snapped onto the unit before scanning. Place the thermometer in your hand as shown here with your thumb tip resting lightly on the Forehead Button. Before you press the button, make sure the Infrared Sensor Tip is clean. ME M SE T 2. Hold the thermometer so that the end of the Forehead Probe Cover is placed flush to skin surface midway between the eyebrow and hairline. The tip of the Forehead Probe Cover should gentally touch the skin.
TO MEASURE EAR TEMPERATURE 1. For Ear Scans, remove Forehead Probe Cover before use. Place the thermometer in your hand as shown here with your thumb or forefinger tip resting lightly on the Ear Button. ME Before you press the button make sure the Infrared Sensor Tip is clean. M SE T 2. Insert the Ear Probe very gently and slowly into the ear canal. Hold the thermometer so that the Infrared Sensor Tip of the Ear Probe faces straight in the direction of the Ear Canal.
TO MEASURE FOOD / OBJECT TEMPERATURE Press Both Buttons 1. Remove Forehead Probe Cover. Hold the thermometer in your hand (as shown) with your finger tip on both the Ear Button and Forehead Button. Press the buttons simultaneously to enter into the Food / Object Mode and the display will indicate this when you see... Note: Make sure to not use the Food / Object Mode to measure body temperature. Scan within 1/2 inch (1cm) 2.
TEMPERATURE TAKING HINTS 1. A temperature measurement taken in the right ear may differ from a measurement taken in the left ear. Therefore, always take the temperature in the same ear. 2.
CLEAN TIP ALERT As a reminder to clean the probe tip, there is a special “Clean Tip Alert”. When you have not used the thermometer for a long time, or you have taken temperature readings multiple times, the backlight will flash for 1minute to remind you to clean the probe tip. Also, the LCD Display will show the letters “CL” along with a beeping sound. The thermometer will return to original mode after you press any button, and the Clean Tip indicator will stop flashing.
PREVIOUS READOUTS IN MEMORY The thermometer records and stores a total of nine (9) Memory Readouts of previous Ear and/or Forehead temperature measurements. The most current measurement is always saved in the last available space. Once all nine storage spaces have been occupied, with the next reading the oldest stored readout is deleted from memory as the new one is saved.
SETTING TIME AND DATE Press and hold the Settings Button for about 2 seconds to enter into the Settings mode. Press the Settings Button again to go to the Time / Date format and select 12hr or 24hr mode. Note: PM will display on screen when in 12hr format. Then select Hour, Minute, Year (2001~ 2099), Month, Day and whether Sleep Mode is ON or OFF. When the Sleep Mode is active, the thermometer will turn OFF automatically after 1min to 3min (depending on the factory default).
REPLACING THE BATTERIES When the Low Battery Indicator appears on the screen, or the thermometer does not function at all, you should replace the batteries immediately. Note: The thermometer is pre-loaded with two (type AAA) batteries, so remember to remove the plastic tab from the battery connections as shown earlier before initial use. To replace low or dead batteries, remove the Battery Cover by sliding it toward the bottem end of the thermometer.
