*Failing to do so may cause inaccuracy.

If the user measurement of the body temperature exceeds 38 degrees C or 100.4 F and
/or feels uncomfortable, the user should contact a medical practitioner immediately .

Stop using the product in case of any occurrence of pain or discomfort, as this might
signify potential ear canal damage.

Calendar Date falls within Gregorian calendar year 2001–2099.
Time of Day is shown in 24 hour shifts. The initial date for a powered unit is

set as January 1st of the manufacturing year.
Room Temperature is displayed with Time of Day (alternating every 5

seconds) when not in use otherwise. Measurement ranges from 41.0°F to

139.8°F (5.0°C to 59.9°C).
Body Temperature displayed when Ear or Forehead Buttons are used with

measurements ranging from 89.6°F to 109.3°F (32.0°C to 42.9°C ).

Memory Function saves a record of every body temperature reading
(maximum of 30 records). Each record is stored with body temperature, date,
measurement mode (ear or forehead), and the record’s memory number.

Voice Readout Mode causes a body or room temperature reading to be
audibly sounded, with the current time, in E

on the setting.

LED Flashlight is built-in and can be used for discreet night time use.
Pulse/Heart Rate is read using the Heart Rate Botton/Sensor and measures

within the range of 40-200 heartbeats per minute. To measure your Pulse:

• With your thumb centered on it, press and release the Heart Rate Button
once but leave the thumb lightly in place on the button without pressing it
again. The unit will beep and the word Pulse will appear on the display.

• As you let your thumb rest on the button the Large Heart symbol on the

MEASUREMENT PREPARATIONS

For proper measurements always store the device in appropriate temperature

of ambient temperature is likely to deteriorate measuring accuracy. When a

which a thermometer is located, or any attempt to perform a temperature
reading in front of an air conditioner or heating device is made, accurate read
outs will be impaired. Be sure to keep ear clean, since an unclean ear canal
may cause read out inaccuracy. Measurement should be done at a calm and
quiet time to ensure an accurate result. Do not talk or move body during
measurement. Temperature is likely to increase immediately after exercise,
bathing, or other physical exertion. If measurement appears to be incorrect
please wait 5-15 minutes before the taking measurement again. Make sure to
use the same thumb when re-measuring Heart Rate.

NOTE: Replace any low-voltage battery to ensure full power supply.

RECOMMENDATIONS

12

For users not familiar with digital thermometers, it is recommended that you
measure the same ear 3 times during initial usage. The maximum reading shall

Wait about 30 seconds before measuring the same patient again to factor in
changes of skin condition.

For users in sound health, both ears will be virtually the same in terms of
body temperature.

Clean ear before taking measurement.

REPLACE BAT TERIES

Remove the battery compartment door as shown below.

Put batteries into compartment according to the + and - symbols inside and
use only new batteries (2 x AAA - alkaline recommended).

Replace the battery compartment door tightly.

MAINTENANCE, STORAGE AND CALIBRATION

13

Maintenance:

1. Remove all stains from the device with a soft, dry cloth.

2. Clean the tip of the probe as follows: Wipe the surface gently with a swab
of cotton or a soft cloth moistened with alcohol until no dirt or wax remains.
Allow the alchol to dry before using thermometer again.

3. Do not wash the thermometer with water, abrasive detergent or detergent
containing benzene or other harsh solvents.

Storage:

1. After each use, clean the thermometer and put on the protective cover.

2. Do not leave the thermometer exposed to direct sun, high temperatures,

3. If you plan to not use the thermometer an extended time, remove the
batteries.

Calibration:
The thermometer is factory-calibrated. If it is used according to this user

manual, periodic recalibration is not required. If there are doubts concerning
the accuracy of the thermometer, please contact Mobi at the address
given herein. Do not try to repair or modify the thermometer yourself.

CARE AND CLEANING

1. Keep the probe surface clean, otherwise the measurement may not be
accurate.

2. Clean the probe with a non-abrasive cloth or paper moistened with water
or alcohol, and conduct measurement after the water or alcohol on the
surface of the probe has evaporated.

Caution:
Make sure the probe tip of the thermometer is completely clean. A dirty
probe lens will cause inaccurate measurements.
