
NOTE:
 Patients and thermometer should stay in similar room
condition for at least 30 minutes.
 To ensure accurate readings, wait at least 30 sec. after 3-5
continuous measurements.
 Accumulation of ear wax on the probe can result in less accu-
rate temperature readings or cross infection between users.
 It is essential that the probe is cleaned after every measure-
ment. Therefore, this device reminds the user to clean the probe
when turning off the device. «CLEAN ME» BN is displayed and
the probe LED light will flash for 3 seconds. For cleaning, follow
the instructions in the «Cleaning and Disinfecting» section.
 After cleaning the measuring sensor 1 with alcohol, wait
5 minutes before taking the next measurement, in order to
allow the thermometer to reach its operating reference temper-
ature.
 10 short beeps and a red LCD backlight alert the patient that he/
she may have a temperature equal to or higher than 37.5 °C.
 For an infant, it is best to have the child lying flat with his/her head
sideways so the ear is facing upwards. For an older child or adult,
it is best to stand behind and slightly to the side of the patient.
 Always take the temperature in the same ear, since the temper-
ature readings may be different from ear to ear.
 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.
