 In the following situations it is recommended that three temper-
atures in the same ear be taken and the highest one taken as
the reading:
1. New born 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 the user is learning how to use the thermometer for
the first time until he/she has familiarized himself/herself with
the device and obtains consistent readings.
4. If the measurement is surprisingly low.
 Don't take a measurement while or immediately after nursing a
baby.
 Don't use the thermometer in high humidity environments.
 Patients should not drink, eat or exercise before/while taking
the measurement.
 Doctors recommend rectal measurement for newborn infants
within the first 6 months, as all other measuring methods might
lead to ambiguous results.
 Readings from different measuring sites should not be
compared as the normal body temperature varies by
measuring site and time of day, being highest in the evening
and lowest about one hour before waking up.
Normal body temperature ranges:
- Axillar: 34.7 - 37.3 °C / 94.5 - 99.1 °F
- Oral: 35.5 - 37.5 °C / 95.9 - 99.5 °F
- Rectal: 36.6 - 38.0 °C / 97.9 - 100.4 °F
- Microlife IR 210: 35.4 - 37.4 °C / 95.7 - 99.3 °F
8. Changing between Celsius and Fahrenheit
This thermometer can display temperature readings in either Fahr-
enheit or Celsius. To switch the display between °C and °F, press
and hold the MODE button 4 for 3 seconds; the beeper icon is
shown on the display. Press the MODE button again; the current
measurement scale («°C» or «°F» icon) will be shown on the
display AQ. Change the measurement scale between °C and °F by
pressing the M-button 3. When the measurement scale has been
chosen, press the START/IO button 6 to enter the «ready for
measuring» mode; otherwise the device automatically switches to
ready for measuring after 10 seconds 9.

button 3 to recall the last reading. Number «1» and a flashing
«M» are displayed.
Pressing and releasing the M-button 3 after the last 30 readings
have been recalled will resume the above sequence from reading 1.
10. Error Messages
 Measured temperature too high BT: Displays «H» when

mode or 100 °C / 212 °F in object mode.
 Measured temperature too low BK: Displays «L» when
measured temperature is lower than 32 °C / 89.6 °F in body
mode or 0 °C / 32 °F in object mode.
 Ambient temperature too high BL: Displays «AH» when
ambient temperature is higher than 40.0 °C / 104.0 °F.
 Ambient temperature too low BM: Display «AL» when
ambient temperature is lower than 10.0 °C / 50.0 °F.
 Incorrect location indication AN: The probe is not correctly
inserted in the ear canal. Please insert the probe as described
in this manual.
 Error function display AO: The system has a malfunction.
 Blank display BO: Check if the battery has been loaded
