ENGLISH 1 INTRODUCTION The Ear & Forehead thermometer uses infrared technology to measure infrared energy emitted from the forehead or eardrum and surrounding tissue, and then converts it into temperature value. The Ear and Forehead Thermometer can also be used for measuring the room temperature and the temperture of food and fluids.

2 ABOUT BODY TEMPERATURE

Normal human body temperature fluctuates throughout the day; generally, lowest in the morning, highest in the evening. Different parts of human body also have different temperatures. Therefore, the standards of measuring oral, axillary, rectal and ear temperatures are different. The human body temperature is controlled and adjusted by the hypothalamus in the brain. As the veins flow through the hypothalamus, they also flow through the ear-drum in the mid ear. Thus, measuring the ear temperature (the temperature of the ear drum membrane) can best reflect the body temperature. Normal body temperature is a range, not a fixed value. When using an IR ear thermometer to take temperature, the normal body temperature range is 35.8 °C - 37.6 °C. Also, people's normal temperature ranges tend to decrease with their age. IMPORTANT NOTE

• It is important to determine your and your family members' normal temperature ranges and write them down.

• Practice to take temperatures on yourself and your healthy family members to determine their normal temperature ranges.

• It is important to clean your thermometer before the first time of use and after each application, otherwise the result may be incorrect.

• After a shower or exercise, the body temperature will rise. Take a rest before taking temperature. HL_Ear & Forehead Thermometer 301 D106.book Page 3 Thursday, January 17, 2013 10:49 AM4

• Read carefully through the following information concerning safety and proper use. Make yourself familiar with all the functions of the equipment. Be careful to keep these advice notes and if necessary pass them on to a third party.

• This thermometer is intended for household use only. The use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for physician’s consulta- tion.

• The tip of the probe is the most delicate part of the thermometer, accurate readings from the thermometer can be obtained only if the tip of the probe is clean and intact.

• Don’t touch or blow the infrared sensor.

• Measurement must be suspended until the ear is warmed up after outdoor activities to avoid lower results.

• After a shower or exercise, the body temperature will rise. Take a rest before taking temperature.

• For proper measurement, condition the thermometer for 30 minutes in measurement site till room temperature.

• Earwax or obstructions will affect the accuracy of the thermometer.

• It is not recommended to use the product on users suffering ear dis- ease including otitis external and lympantitis. Affected part is likely to deteriorate.

• Don’t use the product in a wet ear hole after swimming or bathing. It is possible to damage the ear hole DANGER

• The thermometer contains small parts (battery, battery cover) which can be swallowed by small children. For this reason, do not leave the thermometer unattended in hands of children.

• When the temperature is higher than 38°, means that the patient may have fever. Contact your doctor. Persistent fever, in particular children, has to be treated by a doctor. Get in touch with a doctor immediately. HL_Ear & Forehead Thermometer 301 D106.book Page 4 Thursday, January 17, 2013 10:49 AM5

• Keep the unit out of children’s reach. A self-measurement forced by children may cause ear damage. For accidental swallowing of a bat- tery, please contact a doctor at once.

• Stop using the product in occurrence of any pain. It is likely to dam- age the ear hole.

• Don’t throw batteries into fire. Batteries may explode in fire HL_Ear & Forehead Thermometer 301 D106.book Page 5 Thursday, January 17, 2013 10:49 AM6

1. Remove the battery cover.

2. When the batteries are pre-installed.

Pull out the insulator.

3. If it is not pre-installed, insert a

CR2032 - 3V - Lithium battery with the positive pole (+) facing upwards.

4. Reposition the battery cover.

IMPORTANT NOTE Replace the battery when ‘• ’ is displayed.

• Take out the battery if you do not use it for a long time.

• You have to dispose of the batteries in an environment friendly man- ner according to your country regulations. 7BODY TEMPERATURE IMPORTANT NOTE

• It is recommended that you take three temperatures under the follow- ing circumstances. - Infants in the first 3 months of life. - Children under three years old who have a condition such as compro- mised immune system and for whom the presence or absence of fever is critical. - When you are first learning to use the thermometer until you are com- fortable with the technique and are gaining consistent readings

• Clean the probe cover to ensure accurate measurement.

• Wait about 30 seconds before measuring the same person to avoid excessive cooling of the skin.

• As with any type of thermometer, slight temperature variations (+/-

0.2 - 0.3°C) can happen if consecutive measurements are taken.

• If the results are different, use the highest reading.

• In measuring mode and memory mode, the LDCD is normal display; but in waiting mode and setting mode, the LCD is reverse display

• In waiting mode, the LCD circularly displays time, date and room tem- perature. HL_Ear & Forehead Thermometer 301 D106.book Page 6 Thursday, January 17, 2013 10:49 AM7

when an individual has:

• been lying on one ear or the other

• had their ears covered

• been exposed to very hot or very cold temperatures

• been recently swimming or bathing. HL_Ear & Forehead Thermometer 301 D106.book Page 9 Thursday, January 17, 2013 10:49 AM10
