Please read these instructions carefully before using this product and keep the instructions and the thermometer in a safe place.

Indications for Use
The Vicks VNT200 No Touch Forehead Thermometer is a non-sterile, reusable, clinical thermometer intended for the intermittent determination of human body temperature in a “no-touch” mode, using the center of the forehead as the measurement site on people of all ages, in a home use environment.

Important Safety Instructions

• Keep out of reach of children under 12 years.
• NEVER use the thermometer for purposes other than those for which it has been intended. Please follow the general safety precautions when using on children.
• NEVER immerse the thermometer into water or other liquids (not waterproof).  For cleaning, please follow the instructions in the “Care and Cleaning” section.
• DO NOT store this thermometer in temperature extremes below -25 °C or over 55 °C (below -13 °F or over 131 °F) or in excessive humidity (up to 95% noncondensing relative humidity).
• Let the thermometer and individual being measured acclimate to the temperature of the room in which the measurement will be taken.
• The thermometer needs to adjust to the room temperature for 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
• The individual being measured should be indoors for 30 minutes before taking a measurement. External temperature can impact skin temperature.
• DO NOT use the thermometer if there are signs of damage on the scanner or on the thermometer itself. If damaged, DO NOT attempt to repair the product.
• NEVER insert a sharp object into the scanner area or any other open surface on the thermometer.
• This thermometer consists of high-quality precision parts. DO NOT drop the instrument. Protect it from severe impact and shock. DO NOT twist the instrument or the measuring sensor.
• This thermometer is intended for household use only.
• Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your physician.
• Temperature elevation may signal a serious illness, especially in neonates and infants, or adults who are old, frail, or have a weakened immune system. Please seek professional advice immediately when there is a temperature elevation and if you are taking the temperature on:
  – Neonates and infants under 3 months (Consult your physician immediately if the temperature exceeds 37.4 °C [99.4 °F])
  – Individuals over 60 years of age (Fever may be blunted or absent in older patients)
  – Individuals having diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system (e.g., HIV positive, cancer chemotherapy, chronic immunosuppressant
  treatment, splenectomy)
  – Individuals who are bedridden (e.g., nursing home patient, stroke, chronic illness, paraplegia, quadriplegia, surgical recovery)
  – A transplant recipient (e.g., liver, heart, lung, kidney)
• This thermometer is not intended for pre-term babies or small-for-gestational-age babies. Pre-term is defined as babies with a calendar age of less than 37 weeks. Small-for-gestational-age is defined as a baby born at 37 weeks or later, with a weight below the 10th percentile for babies of the same gestational age.
• This thermometer is not intended to interpret hypothermic temperatures. If the device displays a temperature of 97.5 °F (36.4°C) or less with an LED backlight color green or white, and the individual is exhibiting atypical symptoms or behaviors, contact your physician or health care professional.
• DO NOT allow children to take their temperatures unattended.
• Please consult your physician if you see symptoms such as unexplained irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, changes in appetite or activity, seizure, muscle pain, shivering, stiff neck, pain when urinating, etc., even in the absence of fever.
• Even in the absence of fever, those who exhibit a normal temperature may still need to receive medical attention. People who are on antibiotics, analgesics, or antipyretics should not be assessed solely on temperature readings to determine the severity of their illness.
• DO NOT modify this equipment without the authorization of the manufacturer.

Product Description (see page 1)

How does the Vicks No Touch work?
The No Touch Thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from the skin at the center of the forehead area. This captured energy is collected through the lens and converted to a body temperature value.

The No Touch Thermometer has been clinically tested and proven to be safe and accurate when used in accordance with its operating instruction manual.

Temperature Guidance Feature¹

Temperature guidance helps you to better understand the meaning of your child’s temperature with the color indicated on the display. The screen displays GREEN for a normal temperature, YELLOW for an elevated temperature, and RED for a high temperature. 4 double beeps indicate temperatures above 37.4 °C (99.4 °F) to alert the user that the individual may have a temperature.

NOTE: Backlight remains OFF when below temperature readings are registered:
34°C ≤ T ≤ 35.7 °C (93.2°F ≤ T ≤ 96.3 °F)

Temperature Taking Hints

It is important to know each individual’s normal temperature when they are well. This is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever. Take multiple readings when healthy to determine normal temperature.

A child’s normal temperature can be as high as 37.7 °C (99.9 °F) or as low as 36.1 °C (97.0 °F). Be sure to note this unit reads 0.5 °C (0.9 °F) lower than a rectal digital measurement. The individual being measured and the thermometer should be in the same ambient temperature for 30 minutes.

ALWAYS hold the thermometer and the forehead steady when taking a reading.
DO NOT move the thermometer until you hear the final beep. DO NOT take a measurement while or immediately after nursing a baby.
Individuals should not drink, eat, or be physically active before/while taking the measurement. Remove hats and wait 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
Before taking a measurement, remove dirt or hair from the forehead area. Wait 10 minutes after cleaning the forehead before taking a measurement.
ALWAYS take the temperature exactly as directed. Temperature results may vary if positioned in the wrong location or wrong distance from the forehead.

How To Use The Vicks No Touch Thermometer For Human Temperature

1. Turn On
   
   
   Press the POWER button to turn the device on. The device will be ready to take a measurement when 4 dashes appear on the LCD screen
   and the °F or °C symbol is displayed in the right top corner. “Body” will also be displayed in the left top corner.
2. Position
   
   
   Position thermometer 0.4-2 inches (1-5 cm) away from the center of the forehead, just between the eyebrows. If the eyebrow area is covered with hair, sweat or dirt, please clean the area beforehand to improve the reading accuracy. It is important to hold the thermometer and the forehead steady during measurement. The movement will impact the temperature reading.
3. Take Temperature
   
   
   Press the POWER button to take a temperature measurement.
4. Read Temperature
   
   
   One long beep for normal temperature and 4 double beeps for elevated or high the temperature will be heard when the measurement is complete (unless you have the sound muted).
   The LCD backlight will illuminate green, yellow or red.
   To take another reading repeat steps 2-4.
5.  To Turn Off
   To conserve battery power, the unit will automatically shut down after 20 seconds
   of no use.

How To Use The Vicks No Touch For Food & Bath Temperatures

1.  Select Surface Temperature Setting
   
   
   With the device powered On, press the MODE button to switch from human to surface temperature. The screen will change from “body” to “surface temp” on the top of the LCD screen.
2.  Position
   Position thermometer 0.4-2 inches (1-5 cm) away from food or bathwater. Ensure that you are aiming directly at the food or bathwater and not at the food container or walls of the bathtub. Ensure that the thermometer is not directly in the line of steam, as this can impact reading. DO NOT touch food or bath water with the thermometer.
3. Take Temperature
   
   
   Press the POWER button to take a temperature measurement.
4. Read Temperature
