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 by its operating instruction manual.

Temperature Guidance Feature

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 at 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 measure 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

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 the 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 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 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 the thermometer 0.4-2 inches (1-5 cm) away from food or bath water. Ensure that you are aiming directly at the food or bath water and not at the food container or walls of the bathtub. Ensure that the thermometer is not directly in line with steam, as this can impact the 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
   A confirmation beep will be heard, indicating the measurement is complete. The temperature measurement will be displayed on the LCD screen.

To view the next most recent temperature taken, press the “MEMO” button again. To clear the memory of previous temperatures, press and hold the “MEMO” button for 4 seconds.

Error Messages

Care and Cleaning

The thermometer should be cleaned between uses. Use an alcohol swab or a cotton swab moistened with alcohol (70% Isopropyl) to wipe the thermometer casing and measuring probe for 90 seconds. Wait 10 minutes, allowing the thermometer to air-dry, before taking a measurement. Ensure that no liquid enters the interior of the thermometer.

NEVER use abrasive cleaning agents, thinners, or benzene for cleaning, and NEVER immerse the thermometer in water or other cleaning liquids. NEVER insert a sharp object into the scanner area or any other open surface on the thermometer.
