The EM-Th1 is pre-set at the factory.
It is not necessary to calibrate the device when starting it up.
III.INTRODUCTION
The EM-Th1 Non-contact Infrared thermometer has
been developed by using the latest infrared technology.
This technology allows temporal artery (TA) tempera-
ture to be taken at a distance of about 1.2in~2in away
from the forehead. Precise, Instantaneous and without
Contact, the EM-Th1 is, up to now, the most suitable
thermometer for no risk on temperature measurement. It
has been demonstrated that this method of TA tempera-
ture measurement is more precise than the tympanic
thermometry and better tolerated than rectal thermome-
try (1).
However, as with other types of thermometer, it is
essential to use the EM-Th1 properly in order to obtain
reliable and stable results. You are therefore advised to
read this instruction manual and the safety precautions
carefully before use.

IV.PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE
In order to obtain reliable and stable results, you are
advised each time there is a significant change in the
ambient temperature due to a change in environment, to
allow the EM-Th1 to acclimatize to this ambient
temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before using it.
It is important to allow 3~5 seconds interval between two
measurements.
