Cleaning and maintenance

The sensor is the most sensitive part of the infra-red
thermometer. Please make sure you don't touch or scratch
the surface of the measuring sensor. If the sensor is dirty,
carefully clean it with a cotton swab soaked with alcohol or a
mild detergent (e.g. a highly diluted dish washing detergent).
Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents. Clean the case
and display with a soft dry cloth or an alcohol pad.
The device is not water-proof and thus must not be immer-
sed in water or exposed to direct humidity.
Remove the batteries from the device if it is not to be used
for lengthy periods of time.
This product does not require any special maintenance.
Repairs must be carried out by skilled personnel only.

Troubleshooting

Problem/symbol Possible cause
Device cannot be Batteries are empty.
switched on
Batteries have been
inserted incorrectly.
Temperature Sensor is dirty/defect
values wrong or
fluctuating
Low battery level,
measuring is still possible.
Batteries are empty, it is no
longer possible to measure
using this device.
The operating temperature
is outside the permitted
range of
10°C – 40°C (50°F – 104°F).
Measured body
temperature is over
42,9°C (109,2°F).
Measured object/
ambient temperature is
over 100°C (212°F).
Measured body
temperature is lower than
32°C (89,6°F).
Measured object/
ambient temperature is
lower than 0°C (32°F).

Metrological control

As a rule, an inspection of the thermometer is not required.
For devices used in medical practice, the German Medical
Products Operator Ordinance of 29 June 1998 requires a
metrological control after 2 years.
Measures
Insert new batteries.
Check position and polarity
of the batteries.
Check the measuring sen-
sor and clean it if necessary
as described on page 20.
Replace the
batteries soon.
Replace the batteries
immediately.
Take the thermometer
to a place where the
temperature is inside the
permissible range.
Acclimatise the thermome-
ter for at least one hour.
Check if you are in the
correct measuring mode
(body temperature/object
temperature).
Repeat the measurement.
Ensure the measuring sen-
sor is correctly positioned.
Check if you are in the
correct measuring mode
(body temperature/object
temperature).
Repeat the measurement.
Ensure the measuring sen-
sor is correctly positioned.
