• 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.
Always 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.
To switch to the mode for taking body temperature measurements,
press the On/Scan button
the ear temperature symbol
will flash, depending on which measuring method is preset. To
change from the forehead measurement mode to ear measure-
ment mode or vice-versa, press the On/Scan button
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.
