Select age with Age Precision button as shown below. Press button to toggle through
each age group.
NOTE: You must select an age in order to take a measurement.
The thermometer is ready to take a temperature when the display looks like the images below.

5. Fit the probe snuggly into the ear canal and direct towards opposite
temple. ExacTemp® will confirm stability and indicate consistent probe
position with a light and a beep. Then push and release the Start button
6. ExacTemp® light will pulse while temperature measurement is in progress. The light will remain
solid for 3 seconds to indicate that a successful temperature reading has been achieved.
NOTE: If the probe has been properly inserted into the ear canal during the measurement, a
long beep will sound to signal the completed measurement.
If the probe has not been constantly placed in a stable position in the ear canal, a sequence of
short beeps will sound, the ExacTemp light will go out and the display will show an error
message (POS = position error).

Temperature-taking hints
Replace disposable Hygiene cap with every use to maintain accuracy,
hygiene and to prevent cross-contamination. Earwax and dirt on the tip of
the Hygiene cap, even in a microscopic layer, can create an obstacle
between the sensor and the infrared heat emitted by the ear and impact the
accuracy of the measurement.
External factors like poor probe replacement, used Hygiene cap or dirty Hygiene
cap may influence ear temperature measurements.
In clinical studies, precision and accuracy of ear thermometer measurement has been shown to be influenced by
variability in user technique. Correct probe placement is essential for accurate measurements.
Temperature in right and left ear differs, always compare measurements from the same ear. The natural
physiological difference may reach 0.2 °C. In the absence of confounding factors, in high-risk population (like infants or
immunodepressed people) use the highest of the two to interpret the patient's temperature.
In the following cases, wait 20 minutes prior to taking a temperature: extreme changes in room temperature, hearing
aid, lying on a pillow. Use the untreated ear if ear drops or other medications have been placed in the ear canal.
