Frequently Asked Questions - FT 4905 AEG

How to replace the battery of the AEG FT 4905 thermometer?

Open the battery compartment (4) located at the back. Replace the used battery with a CR2032 lithium battery, respecting polarity (+/-). Close the compartment. The battery symbol on the display indicates when the battery needs to be changed.

How to clean the measuring lens?

Use a dry and soft cloth to gently wipe the measuring lens (6) and the sensor (5). Do not use chemicals or gases. Clean after each use to ensure accurate measurements.

What does the fever alarm mean?

The fever alarm triggers when the measured temperature exceeds 37.5 °C (99.5 °F). It emits a long audible signal followed by three short beeps. This indicates a high temperature requiring special attention.

How to switch from Celsius to Fahrenheit?

Turn off the device. Press simultaneously the measurement button (7) and the On/Mem button (3). The display shows °F. To return to °C, repeat the same operation.

Why is the measured temperature too low?

A too low temperature may be due to improper positioning of the measuring lens in the ear. Make sure to pull the ear back to align the sensor with the eardrum. Also clean the lens.

How to recall the last measurements?

Turn on the device by pressing the On/Mem button (3). Press this button again to display previous measurements. The device stores up to 9 measurements in memory. Each press displays the next measurement.

How long does the device stay on?

The device turns off automatically after approximately 1 minute of inactivity. You can also turn it off manually by long-pressing the On/Mem button.

Is the thermometer under warranty?

• Keep the device outside the reach of children.
• Make sure that the measuring lens (6) is always clean.
• Put on the protective cap (1) after each use.
• Do not immerse the device in water.
• Do not let the device fall down and avoid heavy impacts.
• Do not try to disassemble or modify the measuring device.

Further notes

1. The measured body temperature may differ from one ear to the other. We recommend to measure the temperature always at the same ear.
2. If you hold the device in your hand for more than 3 minutes this may lead to wrong measuring results for any subsequent measurements. You should therefore avoid to hold the device in your hand for too long.
3. If your child is younger than 2 years or if you do not measure your own temperature (e.g., the temperature of older persons) we recommend to take three measurements at the same ear. If the readings differ from each other choose the highest temperature.
4. Minor deviations in repeated measurements are permissible.
5. If an obviously too low temperature should be measured the reason for this may be found in the position of the lens.
6. If the device indicates a temperature that is too high it should not be used for about 30 minutes.
7. The temperature measured in the ear corresponds to the oral temperature.
8. This device is provided with an Anti Thermal Shock function in accordance with EN 12470-5. This means that it works properly even in case of changes in ambience temperature (e.g., changes between rooms, changes between interior and exterior temperature).
