INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of the Ear Thermometer 100. We hope
you will enjoy using the thermometer and the benefits it offers.
The Ear Thermometer 100 uses infrared technology to measure infrared
energy emitted from the eardrum and surrounding tissue, and then
converts it into temperature value.

ABOUT BODY TEMPERATURE

Normal human body temperature fluctuates throughout the day; generally,
lowest in the morning, highest in the evening.
Different parts of human body also have different temperatures. Therefore,
the standards of measuring oral, axillary, rectal and ear temperatures are
different. The human body temperature is controlled and adjusted by the
hypothalamus in the brain. As the veins flow through hypothalamus, they
also flow through the ear-drum in the mid ear. Thus, measuring the ear
temperature (the temperature of the ear drum membrane) can best reflect
the body temperature.
Normal body temperature is a range, not a fixed value.
When using an IR ear thermometer to take temperature, the normal body
temperature range is 35.8 °C - 38.0 °C
Also, people's normal temperature ranges tend to decrease with their age.
Please refer to the following table for normal Infrared Ear Thermometer
ranges by age.
Age
0-2 years
3-10 years
11-65 years
over 65 years
However, the normal range is also different from person to person. To
determine your and your family members' normal temperature ranges is
very important. It can be done easily by using our Infrared Ear
Thermometer. Please practice to take temperatures on yourself and your
healthy family members to determine their normal temperature ranges.
