Ear Thermometer. This
thermometer will enable you to take an accurate temperature in just one second.
Temperature readings from an ear thermometer are considered to be as accurate as those taken orally. Please keep in mind that body temperature will differ based on a person’s age and the time of day when it is taken. Temperature will also vary from ear to ear. Therefore, for best results, temperature should be taken from the same ear whenever possible.
Use of this ear thermometer should not replace a visit to your doctor. It is recom­mended that you advise your doctor any time a temperature is above 100°F/37.8°C.

• Each temperature reading takes only 1 second
• A second temperature reading can be taken after just 5 seconds
• 512 temperature scanning sequences per second ensure reliable accuracy
• Ergonomic design makes the thermometer comfortable and easy to use
• Stores and recalls last 10 readings
• Small and lightweight design makes it ideal for home use and traveling
• Powers off automatically after one minute of non-use to ensure a long battery life for at least 5,000 measurements
• Easy to read LCD display
• Temperature shown in Fahrenheit (F) or Celsius (C)

into the ear to allow the probe tip to continuously scan the ear canal. This will ensure an accurate temperature measurement (See Fig. 4). After one second release the POWER/SCAN button for a temperature reading.
5. A beep will indicate the end of the temperature measurement. (See Fig. 5). Remove thermometer from ear canal and view the temperature.
7. A smiling face will appear in the display to indicate a temperature lower than 100.4°F/38°C

4. Keeping the POWER/SCAN button depressed, insert the probe into the ear canal. The probe must be inserted well
1. Press and realease the POWER/SCAN button and the system will start its self-testing cycle (See Fig. 1).
2. Once the self-testing is completed, the display will show the last temper- ature recorded. (See Fig.
2). This indicates that the thermometer is ready for you to use.
3. Press the POWER/SCAN button without releasing it so it will perform the automatic scanning sequences. The word Lo may appear indicating the temperature registering is lower than
93.2°F/34°C (See Fig. 3).
6. To change the reading from Celsius to Fahrenheit, press the POWER/SCAN button without releasing it and then press the MEM button.

simply press the MEM button. The memory symbol (top left corner), the number of the reading and the tempera­ture reading will appear on the display (See Fig. 11).
11. To get the most precise temperature
reading wait five seconds before taking a temperature again.
12. The temperature will vary between both
ears so try to take the temperature from the same ear each time.

CARE AND CLEANING
1. The ear thermometer is a delicate
electronic device. Although the probe is waterproof, the body of the thermometer is not. Therefore, to ensure proper functioning, avoid direct contact of the body of the thermometer with water or other liquids.
2. Clean the probe with a soft cloth moistened with either water or alcohol. Clean the body of the thermometer with a soft dry cloth. Never use an abrasive.
3. Avoid touching the probe with your fingers.
4. Do not expose the thermometer to direct sunlight.
5. Keep out of the reach of children and in the storage case when not in use. The optimal storage temperature is between 4°~122°F/-20°~50°C.
6. The ear thermometer is designed for taking temperatures from the ear canal only. Do not use it to take rectal, oral, or armpit temperatures.
7. Do not disassemble the thermometer.

NOTE: According to extensive clinical
examinations, the temperature readings given by an ear thermometer are equivalent to those given by its oral counterparts.
Use of this ear thermometer should not replace a visit to your doctor.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Consistent low temperature readings
a. The probe is not positioned properly in
the ear canal. The tip of the probe must be snug and fully seated against the opening of the ear canal. Failure to properly position the probe may lead to a low temperature reading.
b. The waterproof lens is dirty. Clean the
lens with a soft cloth moistened with water or alcohol.
2. The measurement is out of the range of the ear thermometer
a. Switch the ear thermometer on before
positioning it in the ear. Please properly position the ear thermometer in the ear canal and then repeat the measurement.
3. Low battery warning
a. Battery needs to be replaced.
See Battery Installation section of the manual.
NOTE: If you believe your thermometer is defective or otherwise not operating properly, please check the battery first. If the thermometer is still not operating properly or if you are having any other technical problems, please contact:
