INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the ReliOn® Ultra Compact Ear Thermometer.

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 ReliOn® Ultra Compact Ear Thermometer on each member of your family when you 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.

CONVERSION BETWEEN FAHRENHEIT to CENTIGRADE (°F/°C)

•The thermometer is initially set at Fahrenheit °F

•Follow the steps below to change the measurement scale from °F to Centigrade °C:

Note:

Changing the measurement scale “°F” to “°C” or “°C” to “°F” deletes the previous valued measured.

1)Be sure unit is in the off position (blank display).

2)Press and hold the Button for 3 seconds until the "°F" flashes and you hear one beep.

3)Press button again, now "°C" flashes.

4)After five (5) seconds the unit will shut off.

•The desired mode has been set.

•Repeat the process to reverse measurement scale if desired.

BEFORETITLEUSE

•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 ReliOn ® lens cover (model MC-505LCREL) or Omron lens cover (model MC-505LC).

1) Remove the lens cover.	2) Attach a new lens cover.
	Insert the lens cover
	until it clicks.

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.
