The JXB-178 non-contact thermometer is designed to produce an instant forehead temperature in the temporal artery region of the forehead. The temporal artery is close to the surface of the skin and provides a quick & accurate measurement of an individual’s body temperature. The efficiency, speed and comfort of taking a temperature from this area makes it ideal compared with other temperature methods. - Non-contact reading in 1 second from 1.2” – 2” from forehead - LCD digital display screen with high temperature alarm - Stores previous 32 temperature measurements - Temperature can be displayed in either °F or °C - Automatic power-off (30 seconds) to conserve energy - Modes for body, surface and room (ambient) temperature - Visual/audible alarm if temperature exceeds 100.4°F - Ambient testing (10c-40c and 50f-104f) - (2) AA batteries required
