1.2 Important

1.2.1 When taking body temperature

• To ensure an accurate reading, it is crucial that the sensor is angled towards the ear drum and inserted sufficiently deeply into the auditory canal.
  Some people produce different results in the left and right ear. In order to accurately measure changes in temperature, always take readings in the same ear with any given person.
• The position in which you sleep can influence readings. If someone has been lying on one ear for a long period of time, the temperature in that ear will be higher than normal. In this case, either use the other ear or wait a few minutes before taking a reading.
• Earwax can influence the accuracy of a reading. If necessary, clean the ear and the sensor tip of the thermometer before taking a reading in order to prevent inaccurate results.

1.2.2 General tips

Only use the unit for the specific purpose described in the operating instructions. Any misuse will void the warranty.
- The unit is not designed for commercial use.
- Do not let children use the unit. Medical products are not toys!
- If a fault occurs or the unit is damaged, do not attempt to repair the unit yourself, as this will void the warranty. Contact your dealer and only have repairs carried out by authorized service partners.

• Do not immerse the thermometer in water or other liquids. However, should moisture somehow get into the unit, remove the battery and do not take any further readings with the thermometer. Before any further use, contact your specialist dealer or MEDISANA directly.
• Do not shake or tap the thermometer.

1.3 Useful information on taking temperature with the MEDISANA FTO infra-red ear thermometer

1.3.1 What is fever?

Our normal body temperature is between 36^ and 37,5^ . Fluctuations are quite normal, depending on time of day and the body's condition, for example in the female menstruation cycle. However, when body temperature rises above 38^ , the phenomenon is known as fever.

Fever often occurs in the case of infections, and is a sign that the body's immune system is working overtime. This perfectly normal reaction to foreign bodies, germs and microorganisms should be checked at regular intervals. If the fever should exceed 39^ and not fall again within 1 to 2 days, you should definitely contact your doctor.

1.3.2 Taking a temperature reading - quickly and accurately!

A fever is often associated with fatigue, pains in the limbs, shivering and chills. The course of an illness can be best monitored by taking a temperature reading 2 to 3 times a day at 4 to 6 hour intervals. Readings should always be taken in the same ear and at approximately the same time so that the results can be compared.

Using the MEDISANA FTO ear thermometer to take an infrared temperature reading in the ear is ideal for this task, as the eardrum shares a common blood supply with the nearby temperature-regulating centre of the brain. Because of this, variations in body temperature are shown very accurately and without any significant delay.

1.3.3 Taking other temperature readings

As well as the important function of taking body temperature, the MEDISANA FTO infra-red ear thermometer can also be used to measure the temperature of objects (e.g. babies' bottles) and liquids (e.g. bath water). It is even possible to use the unit to measure ambient temperature.

2.1 Getting started

Removing / inserting batteries

A battery providing power for approx. 1000 readings is already inserted in the MEDISANA FTO infra-red ear thermometer. Should the battery symbol in the LCD display start to flash after an extended period of use, the battery (CR-2032 type) must be replaced.

Removal:

Gently pull off the cover of the battery compartment from the infra-red thermometer. Remove the battery by carefully levering it out of the mounting with a pointed object.

Insertion:

Insert the new battery (CR 2032 type) with the positive pole pointing upwards. Replace the cover and push it up until you hear it snap into place.

2.2 Operation

Remove the protective cap from the MEDISANA FTO infra-red ear thermometer.

There is no need to attach a special probe cover to the sensor area, as the sensor is completely sealed (see also: cleaning and maintenance tips).

2.2.1 Switching on

Press the ON/OFF button 3, to be found directly below the LCD display 2. All display symbols and the result of the last reading taken will appear for about 2 seconds, after which the backlight for the display will switch off. As soon as the unit is ready to use, you will hear a short tone. The LCD display now shows a thermometer symbol and the chosen unit of measurement. "O C" indicates that the results will be displayed in degrees Centigrade, while "oF" means that body temperature will be displayed in degrees Fahrenheit.

The measuring range of the MEDISANA FTO infra-red thermometer is from 0^ to 100^ (32 ^ F to 212 ^ F ), displayed in steps of 0,1^ or 0,1^ .

2.2.2 Taking a body temperature reading

Tilt the patient's head slightly in the opposite direction and support the head (especially in the case of children). Pull on the ear slightly in order to straighten the auditory canal. Carefully insert the sensor into the auditory canal. If you are taking your own temperature, use one hand to pull on the ear and the other to operate the thermometer.

Once the sensor is correctly positioned in the auditory canal, use your index finger to press the START button on the back of the unit. When the reading is successfully completed, you will hear a short tone and can remove the unit from the ear. The display will immediately show the temperature measured and automatically store the result. In the case of a raised body temperature (above 37,5^ / 99,5^ ) you will hear 10 short tones after the reading has been taken.

After approx. 5 seconds, the unit will be ready to take another reading when the unit of measurement symbol (^ / ^) starts to flash. After taking 3 - 5 consecutive readings, wait for approx. 30 seconds before taking a further reading.

In each of the following cases, you should take three consecutive readings in the same ear, using the highest reading as a reference:

• With newly born children under 3 months old.
• With children under 3 years of age who suffer from diseases of the immune system, and with persons for whom deviations from normal body temperature can be dangerous.
• If you are not familiar with taking temperature and there are large discrepancies between consecutive readings.

2.2.3 Other temperature readings

The infra-red thermometer can also be used to measure the temperature of surfaces, such as the skin or of babies' bottles. To do this, switch on the thermometer and hold the sensor gently against the object to be measured. After you hear a short tone, the unit is ready to use. Give the START button ⑤ a short press and keep the thermometer in place until a long tone sounds, signalling the end of the reading.

The result is shown on the backlit LCD display and stored automatically. If the result is not within the range 32^ to 42,2^ , a crossed-out ear symbol will appear in the display.

When measuring the temperature of liquids, e.g. drinks, bath water etc., you must only insert the light-grey sensor tip. Make sure that no liquid can get into the unit.

2.2.4 Switching off

The thermometer features an energy-saving function and will switch off automatically if no buttons are pressed for 45 seconds. You may also switch off the unit with a short press of the ON/OFF button

3.1 Recalling stored data

The MEDISANA FTO infra-red ear thermometer can store up to 12 results.

You can call up your stored data with a short press of the START button, without having previously switched on the thermometer with the ON/OFF button. The symbol M will flash on the display next to "----". After a further short press of the START button, memory slot number 1 will appear in the unlit display, followed directly by the last stored temperature reading. The symbol M will flash below the unit of measurement.

With a further press of the START button 5, you can call up the result stored in memory slot "2". A total of 12 memory slots are available, and these will be displayed in order if you continue to press the START button 5.

If a memory slot is empty, the symbol “--” will appear next to it in the display.

3.2 Changing the unit of measurement

When taking temperature, you have the choice between degrees centigrade and degrees Fahrenheit.

Proceed as follows:

1. The unit must be switched off.
2. Hold down the START button on the back of the unit for at least 10 - 15 seconds until the current unit of measurement is shown in the display.
3. You can now change the unit of measurement with a further short press of the START button ⑤. Once the desired unit of measurement is displayed, wait until all the display symbols flash in the illuminated display and the change is confirmed with a short tone. Directly after this, the thermometer is ready to take the next reading with the newly selected unit of measurement.
4. At the same time, all stored data is automatically converted to the new unit of measurement..
