• This ear thermometer may only be used with the protective
cap in place.
• The following circumstances may influence the temperature
in the ear: if you have been lying on the ear for an extended
period, the ears are covered, the ears are exposed to exces
sive heat/cold, or after swimming or bathing. In the event
of one of these circumstances, wait 20 minutes before per
forming the measurement.
• As ear wax can affect the measurement, you should clean
the ear before measuring if necessary.
1. Place a clean protective cap on to the
sensor tip of the ear thermometer.
2. Press the ON/OFF button to switch
on the ear thermometer. Three acoustic
signals sound and the display switch
es on.
3. As the ear canal is slightly curved, you
have to pull the ear slightly up and
backwards before inserting the sensor
tip. This is important so that the tip of
the protective cap can be pointed di
rectly at the eardrum.
4. Insert the sensor tip with the protec
tive cap carefully into the ear canal and
press the START button to begin the
measurement.
5. After approx. one second, a long
acoustic signal sounds and the meas
urement is shown in the display. Press
the ON/OFF button to switch off the
ear thermometer.
Note
If no button is pressed for one minute after the measurement,
the ear thermometer automatically switches itself off again.
Fever indicator
If the measured temperature is < 38 °C (100.4 °F), a laughing
smiley appears on the display and a short acoustic sig
nal sounds.
If the measured temperature falls between 37.5 and 37.9 °C,
two short acoustic signals will also sound (the indication for
“raised temperature”).
If the measured temperature is ≥ 38 °C (100.4 °F), a sad smiley
appears on the display and a short, a long and three short
acoustic signals sound one after the other.
