DIRECTIONS FOR USE
1. Press the O/I button once to turn the ear thermometer on. The display will show all icons
momentarily while the ear thermometer runs a test.
2. Then the last measurement reading will appear on the display for about
2 seconds. You will see a small "M" next to the temperature reading.
This memory feature helps you track your child's progress.
3. The ear thermometer will beep and the °F or °C icon will flash, indicating
that the thermometer is ready to take a reading.
4. Straighten the ear canal by pulling the outer ear up and
back to give a clear view of the eardrum.
• For children under 1 year:
Pull the ear straight back.
• Children ages 1 year to adult:
Pull the ear up and back.
• For an infant, it is best to have the child laying
flat with head sideways so the ear is facing
towards you. For an older child or adult, it is
best to stand behind and slightly to the side.
5. While gently pulling the ear, insert the probe snugly into the ear canal and press the "START"
button until you hear a beep sound.You should hear this beep after about 1 second; It
indicates the reading is complete.
6. Remove the thermometer from the ear canal. Read the temperature measurement on the display.
NOTE:
• Always take measurements in the same ear since temperature readings may be different from the right and left
ear.
• In order to assure accurate readings, please wait at least 15 seconds between continuous measurements.
• In the following situations it is recommended that three temperatures in the same ear be taken and the
highest one taken as the reading:
1) Newborn infants in the first 100 days.
2) Children under three years of age with a compromised immune system and for whom the presence or absence
of fever is critical.
3) When you are learning how to use the ear thermometer for the first time and until you have familiarized
yourself with the instrument and how to obtain consistent readings.
• The LCD display automatically glows red when a fever temperature is detected. Glows green for normal
temperature.
• While the device is powered OFF, don't press the START button more than 8 seconds. If such case happens, you
will enter another mode of measurement for calibrating the device.
• For further normal clinical measurement, simply press on/off button to switch off the device and press
on/off button again for normal clinical measurement.
