 Never open the instrument.
 Earwax in the ear canal may cause a lower temperature
reading. Therefore it is important to ensure the subject's
ear canal is clean.
 This instrument comprises sensitive components and
must be treated with caution. Observe the storage and
operating conditions described in the «Technical Speci-
fications» section!

3. How this Ear Thermometer measures
Temperature
This thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from
the eardrum and the surrounding tissue. This energy is
collected through the lens and converted to a temperature
value. The measured reading obtained directly from the
eardrum (Tympanic Membrane) ensures the most accurate
ear temperature.
Measurements taken from the surrounding tissue of the ear
canal generate lower readings and may result in misdiag-
nosis of fever.
To avoid an inaccurate measurement:
1. Switch on the thermometer by pressing the ON/OFF
button 4.
2. After one beep is heard (and the temperature scale icon
is flashing), straighten the ear canal by gently pulling the
middle of the ear back and up.
3. Place the probe 1 firmly into the ear canal, press the
START button 2 and keep the probe in the ear until the
thermometer beeps to signal the completion of the
measurement.

4. Control Displays and Symbols

 All segments displayed 6: Press the ON/OFF button
4 to turn on the unit; all segments will be shown for
2 seconds.
 Memory 7: The last reading will automatically be
shown on the display for 2 seconds.
 Ready for measurement 8: When the unit is ready for
measurement, the «°C» or «°F» icon will keep flashing.
 Measurement complete 9: The reading will be shown
on the display 3 with the «°C» or «°F» icon; the unit is
ready for the next measurement, when the «°C» or «°F»
icon is flashing again.
 Out-of-ear temperature indication AT: A crossed-ear-
icon will appear on the display 3 if the reading falls
outside the range 32.0  42.2 °C / 89.6  108.0 °F.
 Low battery indication AK: When the unit is turned on,
the battery icon will keep flashing to remind the user to
replace the battery.
