5. Gently and carefully place the thermometer probe tip snugly into the ear canal while tugging the ear.
6. Press and hold the ACTIVATION button. A short beep will be heard to confirm the end of easurement.
7. Remove the temperature from the ear, and get the temperature reading on the LCD.
8. Press the BACKLIGHT button and hold it for easy nighttime reading, if desired.
9. The device is ready to take a new temperature only when the “READY” symbol appears steady.
10. Replace with a new probe cover after each measurement.
11. The thermometer will automatically turn off if no button is pressed within 60 seconds.
Recalling and Erasing Memory Data
The last temperature taken before the thermometer powers down is stored in memory. Up to 8
Temperature readings can be stored in memory. Up to 8 temperature readings can be stored into
The memory cells from M1 to M8. The latest reading is always at M1.
By pressing ON/M button, the cell number will be shown on the LCD.
After releasing the button, the stored temperature will be displayed with the memory mode Symbol M indicated.
Press and hold the ON/M button for at least 5 seconds to erase all the stored temperatures in Memory. “CLr” will be shown on the LCD.
An empty memory cell shows “---
℃
” or “---
℉
”
Changing the Temperature Scale
1. Wait until the thermometer powers down or make sure the thermometer is at off state.
2. Press and hold the ACTIVATION button first, and then press and release the “ON/M” button.
3. Wait until the display scale changes from
℃
to
℉
or vice versa. All the memory data will be changed accordingly.
4. Release the ACTIVATION button.
Important Notes about Taking Temperature
1. It is necessary to inspect the soft lens for damage each time the probe cover is changed. Do not use the thermometer if the soft lens is damaged.
2. It is important to gently position the probe into the ear canal snugly and aim the thermometer probe at the eardrum to obtain an accurate reading.
3. The same person may have different temperatures in the right and left ears. It is recommended that all temperatures be taken in the same ear
when monitoring an individual’s temperature.
4. Many people do not run a fever (a rise in body temperature above normal) even when they are ill. You must immediately consult a physician,
regardless of temperature reading, if you feel an illness is present.
5. Under any of the following situations, you should take three consecutive measurements in the same ear and use the highest temperature of the
three readings:
a. Newborn babies under ninety (90) days old.
b. Infants under three (3) years of age with immune disorders which are life-threatening at abnormal body temperatures.
c. You are unfamiliar with the temperature measuring process and notice a wide variance between consecutive readings.
6. When taking consecutive measurements, a variation of 0.2
℃
- 0.3
℃
(0.3
℉
- 0.5
℉
) can occur for any type of thermometer.
7. If an individual has been sleeping on one ear for a while, the temperature of that ear will be higher than normal. You should measure the other ear
or wait for a few minutes for the ear temperature to normalize before measuring.
8. Excessive earwax will adversely affect the thermometer’s accuracy. Making sure the ears are clean before taking a temperature measurement
