How This Thermometer Measures Temperature; Control Displays And Symbols; Setting Date, Time And Beeper Functions - Microlife NC400 Handbuch

 A basic physiological effect called vasoconstriction can
occur in the early stages of fever, resulting in a cool skin
effect. The recorded temperature using this thermo-
meter can, therefore, be unusually low.
 If the measurement result is not consistent with the patient's
finding or unusually low, repeat the measurement every 15
minutes or double check the result by another core body
temperature measurement.
 This device comprises sensitive components and must be
treated with caution. Observe the storage and operating
conditions described in the «Technical Specifications»
section.

vised; some parts are small enough to be swallowed.

3. How this Thermometer measures Tempera-
ture
This thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from
the forehead as well as objects. This energy is collected
through the lens and converted to a temperature value.

4. Control Displays and Symbols

 All segments displayed 9: Press the START/IO
button 7 to turn on the unit; all segments will be shown
