This thermometer offers a wide measurement range feature from

32.0°F to 212.0°F (0°C to 100.0°C); meaning the unit can be used
as an ear thermometer to measure body temperature, but it also can
be used to measure surface temperature of objects:

• Milk surface temperature in baby's bottle

• Surface temperature of baby's bath

• Ambient temperature

Probe Cover Free

This thermometer is more user-friendly and more cost effective, since
a probe cover is not required.

Measurement in 1 second

The innovative infrared technology allows measurement of ear
temperature in only 1 second.

Accurate and reliable

The unique probe assembly construction, incorporating an advanced
infrared sensor ensures that each measurement is accurate and reliable.

Gentle and Easy to Use

• The ergonomic design enables simple and easy use of
the thermometer.

• This thermometer can be used even on a sleeping child,
thereby causing no interruption.

• This thermometer is quick and pleasant to use for children.

Auto-Display Memory

The last reading is automatically displayed for 2 seconds when the
unit is switched ON.

Multiple Reading Recalls

Users will be able to recall the last 12 readings when entering the
memory mode, enabling efficient tracking of temperature variations.

3. How this Ear Thermometer measures Temperature

This thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from the
eardrum and the surrounding tissue. This energy is collected through
the lens and converted to a temperature value. The measured reading
obtained directly from the eardrum (Tympanic Membrane) can ensure
the most accurate ear temperature.
Measurements taken from the surrounding tissue of the ear canal
generate lower readings and may result in misdiagnosis of a fever.

To avoid an inaccurate measurement:

1. Switch on the thermometer by pressing the ON/OFF button.

2. After one beep is heard (and the temperature scale icon is
flashing), straighten the ear canal by gently pulling the middle
of the ear back and up.

3. Place the probe firmly into the ear canal, press the START
button and keep the probe in the ear until the thermometer
beeps to identify the completion of the measurement.

This thermometer has been clinically tested and proven to
be safe and accurate when used in accordance with its
operating instruction manual.

4. Control Displays and Symbols

• All segments displayed : Press the ON/OFF button to turn

on the unit, all segments will be shown for 2 seconds.

• Memory: The last reading will be shown on the display

automatically for 2 seconds.

• Ready for measurement: The unit is ready for
measurement, the °F or °C icon will keep flashing.

• Measurement complete: The reading will be shown on
the display with the °F or °C icon flashing, the unit
is ready again for the next measurement.
