The ear thermometer is intended for measuring the body tem- perature in the ear. Do not use the ear thermometer for meas- urements in other parts of the body. You can also use the ear thermometer to measure room and object temperatures. The ear thermometer has been carefully developed for precise, safe and rapid temperature measurements in the ear. It is a non-invasive ear thermometer with an infra-red detector to de- termine the body temperature in the auditory canal of adults and children. Use the device for the intended purpose only and in the manner specified in these instructions for use. Any form of improper use can be dangerous. The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from improper or careless use.18 This device complies with the EU Directive 93/42/EEC con- cerning medical products, the Medizinproduktegesetz (Ger- man Medical Devices Act), the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) E 1965 - 98 and the European Standard EN 12470-5: Clinical thermometers – Part 5: Requirements for infrared ear thermometers (with maximum device) and the Eu- ropean Standard EN60601-1-2 (in accordance with CISPR11, IEC61000-4-2, IEC61000-4-3, IEC61000-4-8), and is sub- ject to particular precautions with regard to electromagnetic compatibility. Please note that portable and mobile HF communication systems may interfere with this device.
Safety notes WARNING
To measure temperature, insert the sensor tip of the ear thermometer carefully into the ear.
Use of the ear thermometer on dierent persons can be inap- propriate in the event of certain acute infectious diseases be- cause of the possible spread of germs despite cleaning and disinfection. If you have any doubts, please consult your doctor.
The body temperature measured in the ear may dier from other measurements taken in the mouth, rectum or armpits. Any comparison of these values is therefore futile. Meas- ure temperature regularly to calculate the normal ear tem- perature and then use these measurements as a basis for comparison when taking measurements in the event of a suspected high temperature.
This ear thermometer is intended for measuring the temper- ature in the ear. Do not use this ear thermometer for meas- urements in other parts of the body.
Replace the protective cap after each use to ensure an accu- rate measurement and prevent cross-contamination.
The ear thermometer may only be used with protective caps from Sanitas; other protective caps may result in faulty measurements. If you have run out of protective caps, con- tact the manufacturer or retailer for replacements.
Consult a doctor if you believe your medical condition to be poor. Notes on handling batteries WARNING

The device then switches itself o automatically. The date and time are now saved.
Press and hold the START but- ton on the switched-o device for three seconds. “°C” ap- pears on the display.
Note Check before each use that the lens is intact. If it is damaged, contact your retailer or the service address. Bear in mind that the ear thermometer needs to have been in the room in which the measurement is taken for at least 30 minutes before use.
7.1 Measuring body temperature
Some people produce dierent readings in their left and right ear. In order to record temperature changes, always measure a person's temperature in the same ear.
The ear thermometer may be used by children only under adult supervision. Measurement is usually possible over the age of 6 months. In infants under 6 months, the ear canal is still very narrow so the temperature of the eardrum often cannot be recorded and the result displayed is often too low.
The measurement must not be taken in an ear aected by inflammatory diseases (e.g. discharging pus or secretion), after possible ear injuries (e.g. eardrum damage) or in the22 healing period after operative procedures. In all of these cases, please consult your doctor.
Use of the ear thermometer on dierent persons can be in- appropriate in the event of certain acute infectious diseases because of the possible spread of germs despite cleaning and disinfection. If you have any doubts, please consult your doctor.
This ear thermometer may only be used with the protective cap in place.
The following circumstances may influence the temperature in the ear: if you have been lying on the ear for an extended period, the ears are covered, the ears are exposed to exces- sive heat/cold, or after swimming or bathing. In the event of one of these circumstances, wait 20 minutes before per- forming the measurement.
As ear wax can aect the measurement, you should clean the ear before measuring if necessary.
1. Place a clean protective cap on to the
sensor tip of the ear thermometer.
2. Press the ON/OFF button to switch
on the ear thermometer. Three acoustic signals sound and the display switch- es on.
3. As the ear canal is slightly curved, you
have to pull the ear slightly up and backwards before inserting the sensor tip. This is important so that the tip of the protective cap can be pointed di- rectly at the eardrum.
Insert the sensor tip with the protec- tive cap carefully into the ear canal and press the START button to begin the measurement.
After approx. one second, a long acoustic signal sounds and the meas- urement is shown in the display. Press the ON/OFF button to switch o the ear thermometer.23 Note If no button is pressed for one minute after the measurement, the ear thermometer automatically switches itself o again. Fever indicator If the measured temperature is < 38 °C (100.4 °F), a laughing smiley appears on the display and a short acoustic sig- nal sounds. If the measured temperature falls between 37.5 and 37.9 °C, two short acoustic signals will also sound (the indication for “raised temperature”). If the measured temperature is ≥ 38 °C (100.4 °F), a sad smiley appears on the display and a short, a long and three short acoustic signals sound one after the other.
Remove the protective cap from the sensor tip of the ear thermometer (if it is on).
2. Press the ON/OFF button
to switch on the ear thermometer. Three acoustic signals sound and the display switch- es on.
3. Ensure that you are in object tempera-
ture mode ( ). To switch between body temperature and object temperature mode, brief- ly press and hold the ON/OFF button and the START button at the same time.
Hold the sensor tip of the ear thermom- eter 1 to 2 cm from the desired measur- ing point and press the START button.
