Product Description LinkTemp™ is a professional grade thermometer that measures body (forehead), surface and room/ambient temperature instantly and accurately. The LinkTemp Non-contact Infrared Thermometer can be used as a non-invasive screening tool in a multi-patient environment. Intended Use LinkTemp is a non-contact, infrared thermometer intended to measure forehead temperature in a professional healthcare environment. Product Features • Infrared sensor accurately reads body temperature 1.
• This device must only be used in an ambient temperature range of between 50˚F - 104˚F (10˚C - 40˚C). • Always keep device in a clean, dry area. • Do not expose the thermometer to electric shocks. • Do not expose the thermometer to extreme temperature conditions. • Do not use this device in relative humidity higher than 85%. • Do not touch the infrared sensor glass with your fingers. • Clean the infrared sensor glass with a cotton swab lightly moistened with 90% isopropyl alcohol.
The LinkTemp Non-contact Infrared Thermometer is pre-set at the factory. It is not necessary to calibrate the device when starting it up. However, in order to obtain reliable results, you are advised to allow the thermometer to acclimate to room/ambient temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before using each time there is a significant change in environmental temperature. It is also important to allow a 3 to 5 second intervals between measurements.
Surface Temp Mode Body Temp Mode Room Temp Mode Celsius Temperature Display Value Fahrenheit Audio ON (English or Spanish) Low Battery Indicator Memory Taking a Measurement 1. Press ON/SCAN button to power on the thermometer. When the devise is ready, the LCD screen will turn blue. 2. Position the thermometer between 1.2” to 2” (3 to 5 cm) from the patient’s forehead. (Fig.1) Fig.1 Target area for measurement Measurement distance from forehead is 1.
3. Press ON/SCAN button to take measurement. 4. A measurement will be displayed on the LCD screen. • To repeat the process, return to step 2. • Allow 3 to 5 seconds between measurements. 5. The thermometer automatically turns off after 30 seconds of inactivity. Temperature Mode The LinkTemp Non-contact Infrared Thermometer can take body, surface or room/ambient temperature. 1.
Temperature Unit While the thermometer is turned on, press the MODE and the buttons at the same time for 3 seconds, the screen will display F-1. Select the button for Celsius and MODE button for Fahrenheit. Confirm by pressing MEM button. Then to exit the setting, press MEM button quickly two times. NOTE: The LinkTemp Non-contact Infrared Thermometer default setting is Fahrenheit. Viewing Data Memory 1. While the thermometer is turned on, press MEM button, which will display the last temperature reading.
Setting Alarm Temperature 1. While the thermometer is turned on, press the MODE and the button at the same time for 3 seconds. The screen will display F-1. 2. Press the MEM button one additional time to get F-2. Select MODE button to add 0.1˚F or 0.1˚C. Select the button to minus 0.1˚F or 0.1˚C. 3. Confirm by pressing MEM button. 4. Exit the setting by pressing MEM button again. NOTE: For temperature unit Fahrenheit, the alarm range is 96.8˚F to 109.2˚F.

NOTE: When operating the thermometer in a room/ambient temperature less than 50˚F (10˚C) or more than 104˚F (40˚C), the BODY and SURFACE temp modes will display an ERR1 message and send out 2 sounds in a blue backlit screen. Low Battery Detection If the battery voltage is not more than 2.

NOTE: The LinkTemp Non-contact Infrared Thermometer was conceived for professional use and should provide approximately 100,000 readings. Product Maintenance • The infrared sensor is the most important and fragile part of the thermometer. Take care when using, storing or cleaning. • Clean and/or disinfect the thermometer according to your facility’s infection control protocol. • Clean infrared sensor glass with cotton swab dampened with 90% isopropyl alcohol solution.
CAUTION: Do not use unapproved cleaning or disinfection agents. Use of these agents may cause damage to components. CAUTION: Do not use chemicals other than isopropyl or ethyl alcohol on the lens. Cleaning the Sensor Window Periodically, slightly moisten a cotton swab or cloth with isopropyl (90% minimum) alcohol and gently wipe the surface of the lens using a side-to-side (not circular) motion. Avoid touching the lens except when cleaning is required.

2. Under BODY mode: • When the measured value is < 89.6˚F (32˚C), the thermometer beeps once and reads Lo. • When the measured value is ≥ 89.6˚F (32˚C) and < the setting alarm temperature (factory default setting is 100.4˚F (38˚C), the thermometer beeps and reads the temperature. • When the measured value is ≥ setting alarm temperature (factory default setting is 100.4˚F (38˚C) and ≤ 109.2˚F (42.9˚C), the thermometer beeps 5 times and reads the temperature. • When the measured value is > 109.2˚F (42.
5. Under the SURFACE TEMP mode: • When measured value is < 32˚F (0˚C),the thermometer beeps once and reads Lo. • When the measured value is ≥ 32˚F (0˚C) and ≤ 140˚ (60˚C), the thermometer beeps once and reads the temperature. • When the measured value is > 140˚F (60˚C), the thermometer beeps once and reads Hi. 6. Under the ROOM mode: • When measured value < 32˚F (0˚C),the thermometer beeps once and reads Lo.
Reasons for Lo message display Advice Temperature hampered by an air draft or dramatic change in ambient temperature. Make sure there is no obstruction or dampness prior to taking temperature. Make sure there is no air blowing in the area of use, this could affect the infrared reading. Temperature readings are too close together and the thermometer did not have time to reboot. Pause for 3-5 seconds minimum between two readings; a 5 second pause is recommended.
