Getting started with the thermometer and VitaConnect

This quick-start guide supplements the model’s safety manual. Check the reference on your device and follow the instructions supplied with your unit.

Measure at the forehead

Turn on the thermometer using the measurement button. Select adult or child forehead mode with the mode button.
Aim at the centre of the forehead, between the eyebrows, from 0 to 3 cm away. Press the measurement button.
Wait about 10 seconds between readings to avoid warming the sensor.

Remove the probe cap: ear mode is selected automatically. Position the probe without forcing it, following the manual, then press the measurement button.
Follow the limits in the full FARMAQO manual: ear mode from one year of age; do not use on newborns.

Select object mode, identified by the house icon. Aim at the surface from 0 to 3 cm away and press the measurement button.
The illustrated guide shows a feeding bottle. This is a surface reading: never immerse the probe in bath water or another liquid. Do not use this mode for body temperature.

With the thermometer on, touch the sound button to enable or mute the beep. The corresponding icon indicates silent mode.
Hold the same button for 5 seconds to switch between °C and °F.

Enable an Internet connection and Bluetooth on your phone. Install “VitaConnect” from the App Store or Google Play.
Open the app, select sign-up and create an account with your email address and a password.
Choose “Add device”, then the infrared thermometer. Turn on the thermometer and start the connection in the app. Wait for confirmation.
Take a measurement using the device. The value then appears in the app. The supplementary leaflet also describes the history and profile under “Me”, then “Personal data”.

Check Bluetooth, app permissions and that the thermometer is on near the phone. Menus may change.
Contact contact@farmaqo.fr with the thermometer reference, phone model and the step that fails. This guide supplements the manual’s precautions; it does not replace medical advice.
