infrared (IR) technology to measure temperature
instantly FORA IR20 ear thermometer is an elegantly
designed infrared thermometer meant for your family.
Intended use
FORA IR21 ear/forehead thermometer is intended for
the intermittent measurement and monitoring of human
body temperature from ear canal or skin/surface scan.
The device is intended for use by people of all ages in
the home.
FORA IR20 ear thermometer is intended for the
intermittent measurement and monitoring of human
body temperature from ear canal. The device is intended
for use by people of all ages in the home.
How does it work
The thermometer measures the infrared heat generated
by the eardrum and its surrounding tissue, or by the
surface of the skin over the temporal artery. The
thermometer then converts it into a temperature value
shown on LCD.
NOTE
The thermometer does not emit any infrared signal.

About Normal Body
Temperature & Fever
Body temperature can vary from one individual/person to
next. It also varies by location on the body and dierent
time of the day. Below shows the statistical normal
ranges from dierent sites. Please keep in mind that
temperatures measured from dierent sites, even at the
same time, should not be directly compared.
Table 1*1 Body Site Normal Temperature Range
Oral 0.6°C (1°F) or more above or below 37°C (98.6°F)
Rectal/ear 0.3°C to 0.6°C (0.5°F to 1°F) higher than oral temperature
Axillary
(underarm) 0.3°C to 0.6°C (0.5°F to 1°F) lower than oral temperature

Hints on Taking Ear Temperture
As with other of thermometer, you may observe
slight variations in consecutive measurements. It is
recommended that you take 3 temperature readings
and use the highest one for the following situations:
Infants younger than 3 months old.
Children younger than 3 years old and who have a
compromised immune system and the presence /
absence of fever is critical.
When you are learning to use the thermometer.
Do not take a reading while eating and /or talking.

Check the probe cover is clean and
new.
Step 2
Attach new probe cover into the
probe.
Now, you can start to test your
ear temperature.
