How to Use the Fora IR20 Thermometer to Check your Temperature

Step-by-step instructions to check your temperature using the Fora IR20 thermometer connected to the aTouchAway App.

Your Fora IR20 thermometer should have already been paired to your tablet.  These instructions will show you how to respond to the tablet when you receive instructions to check your temperature.

You may have the option to manually enter your temperature or to have the app read the results directly from your device.  We recommend reading directly from the device. 

Once you've selected Read from device, touch the Done button.  Follow the instructions on the screen to get a correct reading.  

The following instructions will appear on your screen.    

To Check your Temperature

To take your temperature, you will need to attach a clean probe cover to the thermometer.  If the probe cover is not firmly in place, the thermometer will not work. 

Turn the thermometer ON by pressing the button on the front of the thermometer below the LCD screen. 

Place the temperature probe (with the cover) into your ear canal.  Press and hold the button on the back of the thermometer until you hear a beep.  You should see the temperature reading on the LCD screen. 

Tap the Ok button on your tablet. 

You should see the device connect to the tablet.

Your temperature reading should then appear on your screen.  

If the reading is not accurate, you can start the process again by touching Here on the tablet screen.  

If your thermometer does not connect to the tablet, you can choose to manually enter your reading on the initial screen.  Touch Here above the Done button, to return to the main screen. 

If the reading looks correct, touch Done to complete the reading.

Touch Ok to try the process again or select Manual entry and enter your results as they appear on your thermometer.
