MEASURING BODY TEMPERATURE IN THE EAR
1. Press the Power & Measure Button for 1 second to switch the thermometer on. All
screen data will display on screen. Then wait for beep sound to let you know the
appliance is ready and followed by last temperature reading.
2. Make sure that the sensor tip and also the ear canal
are clean. As the ear canal is slightly curved, you
have to pull the ear slightly up and backwards before
inserting the sensor tip. This is important so that the
sensor tip can be pointed directly at the eardrum.
Under 1 year
Have child lay flat with the head sideways, so that the ear is facing
upwards. Gently pull the ear straight back.
1 year +
Stand behind and slightly to the side of the child/adult. Gently pull the
ear up and back to straighten the ear canal.
3. Insert the probe into the ear canal (the probe must insert well to ensure an
accurate temperature measurement), then press the Power & Measure Button for
about 1 second, release the button and you will hear 1 short beep sound means
complete the measurement.
4. You may take out the device to read the measurement result.
5. The backlight display will remain light for approximately 5 seconds each time the
Power & Measure Button is pressed, after each reading is completed, and each
time the Memory button is pressed to recall a previous reading.
6. The thermometer will automatically shut off after one minute without use.
