3.1 Notes on temperature measurement
• Do not measure your temperature immediately after eating,
training or bathing. Wait for half an hour.
• Do not take successive measurements at intervals of less than one
minute. If you have to take your temperature at shorter intervals, the
results may fluctuate slightly.
• The human body temperature fluctuates within a natural range.
There is no such thing as a standard body temperature.
• Measure and record your body temperature on normal days. This
will allow you to detect a fever more easily.
• In order to make an accurate measurement in the ear, the sensor
must be directed at the eardrum and be inserted far enough into the
ear canal.
• Some people will have different readings for the right and left ears.
lways measure the same person in the same ear when measuring
temperature changes.
• The measurements can also be influenced by your sleeping position.
If someone has slept on a particular ear for a considerable period, the
temperature will be higher than normal in this ear. In this case,
measure in the other ear or wait for a few minutes before
measuring.
3.2 Taking body temperature measurements
To switch to the mode for taking body temperature measurements,
press the On/Scan button 2 when the device is switched off. Either
the ear temperature symbol t or the forehead temperature symbol
r will flash, depending on which measuring method is preset. To
change from the forehead measurement mode to ear measurement
mode or vice-versa, press the On/Scan button 2 again within 3 seconds.
The change is confirmed by a beep. When the device is switched on
again, the last measuring mode set (ear or forehead) will be displayed.
NOTE
Forehead temperatures should only be taken for
checking purposes, since the skin temperature at
the forehead is easily affected by outside influences,
meaning that the measurement can be falsified.
