Ear Thermometer

TE-120

IMPORTANT PRODUCT NOTICES AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using your ear thermometer, basic precautions should always be followed. Please read and follow all instructions and warnings before using this product. Save these instructions for future reference.

Please note that this product is intended for household use only and should not serve as a substitute for the advice of a physician or medical professional. Do not use this device for diagnosis or treatment of any health problem or disease. Measurement results are for reference only. Contact your physician if you have or suspect any medical problem.

This ear thermometer is designed for taking temperatures from the ear canal only. Do not use it to take rectal, oral or underarm temperatures. This device is designed for use in human ears only.

• Use ear thermometer only for its intended use.

• This ear thermometer should only be used under the supervision of an adult.

• Prolonged high fever requires medical attention - especially for young children.

• Stand or sit still while taking a temperature.

• Thermometer should be used in a dry ear canal.

• Gentle force should be used when inserting the probe into the ear. Excessive force may injure the ear canal or eardrum.

• Do not expose the monitor to extreme high or low temperatures, very high humidity, or direct sunlight.

• Handle product with care and avoid dropping.

• Do not immerse the unit in water or other liquids.

• Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the unit.

• When not in use, keep thermometer in its storage case and

out of the reach of children.

• Never attempt to insert any object into the probe tip.

• Please observe the following regarding batteries:

• Batteries can be harmful to the thermometer if leakage

• A worn battery should be replaced immediately with a

• Observe caution when inserting battery to avoid insertion

Additional product notices and safety instructions are found in the following sections of this manual:

Deluxe One-Second Ear Thermometer

How does this product work?

This ear thermometer is a delicate and high-tech electronic device designed to measure body t

emperature. This unit provides accurate and reliable temperature readings by detecting infrared heat from the eardrum and surrounding tissue.

The thermometer takes 512 scans of the eardrum and surrounding tissue in just one second and displays the calculated temperature. The temperature displayed represents the measured ear canal temperature converted to the more familiar oral equivalent performed using a mathematical adjustment of the ear canal temperature. Note that this reading will not necessarily be the same as a temperature measured orally at the same time.

When consulting a physician, it is important to communicate that the temperature reading was taken in the ear and converted to an oral equivalent.

. This is

What is normal body temperature? What is a fever?

Normal body temperature is a range that varies from person to person, by age, and throughout the day average normal body temperature is 98.6˚F (37˚C). Fever is defined as a body temperature elevated over an individual’s normal body temperature.

It is important to determine each person’s normal body temperature in order to properly assess whether or not a fever is actually present. This range can easily be determined by tracking temperatures on a consistent basis, using the same ear and measuring at the same time each day.

This ear thermometer converts the ear temperature to an oral equivalent temperature accuracy*. For temperatures between 96.8˚–

102.2˚F (36.0˚– 39.0˚C), it is accurate to +/- 0.4°F (+/-

0.2°C). See “Product Specifications” (p.19) for more information.

* ASTM Standard E 1965-98.

and meets industry standards regarding

. The

What is the Fever Alarm?

The Fever Alarm is a unique feature that will alert the user anytime a temperature reading is 100°F (37.8˚C) or greater with a visual notice on the display (a frowning face) and a double beep audio alert (visual alert only in memory mode). For readings at or above this temperature it is LIKEL

Y that a fever is present.

Note: A temperature reading below 100°F (37.8˚C) does not mean that a fever is not present. Likewise, a temperature greater than or equal to 100°F (37.8˚C) does not ensure the presence of a fever

Each individual’s physiology is different and you should monitor your own body temperature to determine your “normal” temperature range in order to determine when a fever is present. Classification of a temperature as a fever also varies by age.

This product is not intended as a substitute for consultation with a physician. Contact your physician if you feel an illness is present with or without a fever

A physician should be consulted if any of the following conditions are present: vomiting, diarrhea, changes in breathing, activity, or appetite, irritability, lethargy, or unusual sleepiness.

INSERTING AND REPLACING BATTERIES

1. Remove clear sticker protecting display.

Carefully remove the battery cradle as shown in Figure 3.

3. Carefully remove the battery by sliding it out of the cradle as shown in Figure 4. Do not use metal tweezers or a screwdriver to remove the battery.

4. Insert one CR-2032 (3.0 V dc) battery with the plus symbol (+) up.

5. Replace the battery cradle.

Note that the thermometer will display a default temperature of 00 after battery power is restored and until a measurement is taken. When the low battery symbol appears on the display, the battery should be replaced. When the low battery symbol appears with the “Lo” symbol (Figure 5), the battery must be replaced in order for the ear thermometer to function.

Low battery warning

NOTE: Do not discard used lithium batteries in trash. Please turn in at an official collection point. If the monitor will not be used for an extended period of time (three months or more), please remove battery to prevent damage to the thermometer from possible battery leakage.

CHANGING TEMPERATURE SCALE BETWEEN CELSIUS AND F

AHRENHEIT

To switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit readings, press and hold the “Scan” button while the unit is on and immediately press the “MEMORY” button to toggle between scales. Once the desired scale is selected, press the “Scan” button to take a new reading or allow the unit to turn off automatically and then turn it back on to view the memory.

USING NIGHT MODE & DAY MODE

Night Mode is a unique feature that allows a temperature reading to be taken in a dark setting.

Night Mode functions like Day Mode with the addition of an LED flashlight feature to aid in guiding the probe into the ear canal and a display that will illuminate for 5 seconds after measurement.

Press and release the to select Night Mode or Day Mode.

Day Mode is recommended for general use in order to preserve battery life. Modes can be changed at any time before or after measurement. Do not change modes during measurement as the accuracy of the reading may be affected.

MEMORY RECALL

This thermometer will automatically store the last 20 measurements in memory

. The most recent reading will automatically display when the unit is turned on. Each new temperature reading will also be entered into the memory as the most recent record.

When in memory mode, an arrow on the right will appear with the memory record number as shown below (Fig. 6).

Figure 6

Indicates memory mode and number

Press “MEMORY” to cycle through the records from number 1 (the most recent reading) to number 20.

Note that when memory is at capacity, the oldest record will be deleted to make room for a new reading.

Memory will be cleared as a result of battery removal or power failure. A default reading of 00 will be displayed when memory is cleared until a new temperature reading is taken.
