INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Omron Ear Thermometer.

Fill-in for future reference

DATE PURCHASED: __________________
SERIAL NUMBER: ____________________

Staple your purchase receipt here.

This ear thermometer offers a safe, accurate and quick temperature
reading from the ear canal. This thermometer senses the infrared heat
from the ear drum (tympanic membrane).

No need to worry about broken glass or mercury hazards.
An ear temperature is not affected by talking, eating or drinking.

These factors do affect an oral temperature.
In one second it changes the heat measured into an equivalent temperature.
The unit is easy to use for children and adults. Temperatures can

be taken when a child is sleeping.
We recommend you practice taking a temperature with the Omron

Ear Thermometer on each member of your family when they are
healthy. This way you will be confident in your technique when using
the ear thermometer on a sick family member.

Contact your doctor if you have any questions regarding
specific temperatures.

This product is intended for home use only.

Read this instruction manual completely before using your

Omron Ear Thermometer.

TITLE

BEFORE USE

• The thermometer will not work unless a lens cover is applied correctly.

• For hygienic use, attach a new lens cover each time.
REPLACING LENS COVER

Use Omron lens cover (model MC-505LC).

1) Remove the lens cover.

Insert the lens cover
until it clicks.

2) Attach a new lens cover.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND MEMORY

(1) Push button to turn on. (The display will illuminate for 2 seconds.)

Memory Feature:

(2) The previous value measured is shown on the display (Memory). For the 2nd

and following measurements, the previous value measured
is shown with “M” symbol (Memory).

Note: When the unit is used for the first time the “M” symbol is not displayed.

(3) When “°F” or “°C” symbol flashes - insert lens into ear. Gently pull back the ear

lobe before inserting for best results. Tugging on the earlobe provides a direct line
to the eardrum to maximize the accuracy of results.

(4) Listen for ready beep (1 beep); an “O” symbol will appear indicating its reading.

Angle is correct; ready for measurement.

(5) Press button again while unit is placed in the ear, 4 beeps means

measurement is complete.

(6) Remove probe from ear.
(7) Discard used lens cover, and replace with a new one,

so that unit is ready for use again.

(8) If you are going to repeat measurements, wait until “°F” or “°C” flashes.

Note:

- You can measure consecutively up to three times. If you are going to measure more
than this, wait ten minutes, then measure again. This is because the measurement
may be inaccurate due to the probe warmed by body heat.

- The thermometer will automatically turn off about 1 minute after a temperature
has been taken. There is no button to turn the power off manually.
