Measuring

Before each use, please check that the lens is intact. If it is damaged, please contact your retailer or the
service address.
Bear in mind that the thermometer needs to have been in the room in which the measurement is taken for at
least 30 minutes before use.
Measuring body temperature in the ear
• Some people produce different readings in their left and right ear. In order to record temperature
changes, always measure a person's temperature in the same ear.
• The ear thermometer may be used by children only under adult supervision. Measurement is usu-
ally possible over the age of 6 months. In infants under 6 months, the ear canal is still very narrow
so the temperature of the eardrum often cannot be recorded and the result displayed is often too
low.
• The measurement must not be taken in an ear affected by inflammatory diseases (e.g. discharg-
ing pus or secretion), after possible ear injuries (e.g. eardrum damage) or in the healing period
after operative procedures. In all of these cases, please consult your doctor.
• Use of the thermometer on different persons can be inappropriate in the event of certain acute
infectious diseases because of the possible spread of germs despite cleaning and disinfection. If
you have any doubts, please consult your doctor.
• This thermometer may only be used without a disposable protective cover.
• If you have been lying on one ear for some time, the temperature is slightly raised. Wait a little
while or measure in the other ear.
• As ear wax can affect the measurement, you should clean the ear before measuring if necessary.
