I. SAFETY PRECAUTaIONS
• Maintain thermometer as outlined in this guide
• Device is for personal home use
• Use device ONLY for purposes described
• Must be used in environments with temperatures between 50°F - 104°F
(10°C - 40°C)
• Keep your tia thermometer in a clean dry area
• Protect device from electric shock
• Do not expose thermometer to temperatures below -4°F (-20°C) or above
122°F (50°C)
• Do not use thermometer if relative humidity is greater than 85%
• Always protect glass over the lens (this is the most fragile part of your tia
thermometer)
• Do not touch glass of infrared lens with ngers or objects
• Glass may be cleaned with a cotton swab moistened with rubbing alcohol
• Keep your tia out of sunlight and out of water
• Thermometer may not be used outside

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
• Do not dismantle
• MANUFACTURER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO ALTER

II. INTRODUCTION
The tia NC-9900 no contact thermometer has been developed with the latest
infrared technology which allows temporal artery (TA) temperature to be taken
at a distance of approximately 2 – 6in (5-15cm) from the forehead.
Precise, instantaneous and without contact, the tia NC-9900 is the most
suitable thermometer for no risk temperature measurement. Studies show
that TA temperature measurement is more precise than tympanic (ear)
thermometry and far more comfortable and better tolerated than rectal
thermometry. (Ref: Greenes D, Fleisher G. Accuracy of a Noninvasive
Temporal Artery Thermometer for Use in Infants. Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med
2001;155:376.)
As with all thermometers, the tia NC-9900 must be used properly in order to
obtain reliable and consistent results.
Read ALL instructions and safety precautions prior to use.
III. PRIOR TO USE
• tia NC-9900 is pre-set at the factory
• No need to calibrate
• When changing environments of varying temperatures, allow your tia to
reach room temperature (about 15 – 20 minutes) before using
• Always wait at least 15 seconds (one minute is recommended) between
measurements
PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS WHEN TAKING A TEMPERATURE
• In order to ensure that accurate & consistent temperature measurements
are obtained, it is essential that each user become familiar with correct
operation of the tia NC-9900
• Keep in mind that taking someone’s temperature is simple, yet important
• Temperature should be taken under normal conditions. For instance,
taking a temperature after vigorous exercise is not recommended
• Room temperature should be moderate
• Be mindful of normal temperature variations
• Temperature increases by 0.9°F (0.5°C) between 6AM and 3PM
• On average a woman’s temperature is higher by about 0.4°F (0.2°C) and
by 0.9°F (0.5°C) during the second half of her ovarian cycle and during
early pregnancy.
• When sitting, temperature is lower by 0.5° F – 0.8°F (0.3°C - 0.4°C) than
when standing
NORMAL TEMPERATURES ACCORDING TO AGE
0 - 2 years: 97.5°F - 100.4°F (36.4°C - 38.0°C)
3 - 10 years: 97.0°F - 100.0°F (36.1°C - 37.8°C)
11 - 65 years: 96.6°F - 99.7°F (35.9°C - 37.6°C)
> 65 years: 96.4°F - 99.5°F (35.8°C - 37.5°C)

V. USING YOUR tia
• Install battery
o Pull out gently but rmly on battery compartment cover on front of
unit near trigger (Note that the cover remains attached by a hinge at
the base of the handgrip.
o Attach standard 9V battery to connectors as shown inside the
compartment
o Nest battery inside the compartment
o Close compartment
• Before rst use or after changing the battery, wait 5-10 minutes for the
device to warm up
• Push back hair from the forehead
• Wipe away any perspiration
• Avoid drafts (e.g. vents, another person’s breath, etc.)
• If a temperature change of the environment occurs, allow your tia NC-
9900 to reach current room temperature (about 15 – 20 minutes) before
using
• Aim toward the forehead from 2 - 6 inches (5 -15cm) away.
• Press the trigger button and temperature is displayed in half a second.
• Note: temperature may also be taken from behind the earlobe.
• Allow at least 15 seconds (1 minute is recommended) between
measurements
VI. SETTINGS
* During any setting functions, if your unit times out and goes
back to its resting state, simply press the trigger and begin
again.
1. Choosing Celsius or Fahrenheit as your Unit of Measure
• Press trigger to activate unit
• Select degrees Celsius by pressing the “°C” button, or degrees
Fahrenheit by pressing the “°F” button
• Wait several seconds
• Press trigger again to conrm selection and exit

9. Laser & backlight on/off
2. Fever 3-Beep Alarm Threshold Setup – F1 MENU
• Default value indicating fever is 100.5°F (38°C)
• To change default values press trigger to activate unit
o Press “°C” button and hold for approximately 3 seconds until screen
displays F1
o Press “M” button to display temperature at which alarm will sound
o Press “°C” button to increase threshold by 0.2°F (0.1°C)
o Press “°F” button to decrease threshold by 0.2°F (0.1°C)
o Press trigger to exit
3. Variation – F2 MENU
To adjust the total variation of your tia NC-9900
• Press trigger to activate unit
• Press “°C” button for approximately 3 seconds until screen displays F1
• Press “°F” button twice until screen shows F2

you keep this setting)
• Important Reminder: Whenever there is a signicant change in ambient
(room) temperature, please allow the tia NC-9900 approximately 15
minutes to become accustomed to this change
4. Changing from Body to Surface Temperature Mode – F3 MENU
• Your tia NC-9900 arrives ready to measure the body temperature of a
human being and is thus set in BODY mode

• Important Note: Area temperature differs from internal body
temperature. To obtain the internal temperature of a person to determine
whether or not fever is present it is essential that your tia NC-9900 is set
to BODY mode.
