Before getting started

Removing the battery fuse Push the battery compartment lid

downwards. Pull the tab of the protective fi lm out of the battery compartment. Push the battery compartment lid

onto the battery compartment until it clicks into place (Fig. A). – When it is switched on, an internal alignment and a self-test of the LC display are carried out. – To verify that all of the bars of the numbers are being managed correctly, when you switch on check the display of the LC display

on your appliance against the example (Fig. B).

Setting the date / time (Fig. C) You only have to set the date and time when you operate the appliance for the fi rst time and after you change the battery.

1. Press and hold the “MEM / SET” button

down for two seconds in standard mode. An acoustic signal will sound. The device is now in set-up mode.

2. Press the “MEM / SET” button

to choose between the 12-hour or 24-hour format.

. The hours will fl ash and can be corrected with the “MEM / SET” button

again. The minutes will fl ash and can be corrected with the “MEM / SET” button

Repeat steps 3 and 4 to set the values for the year, month and day or to switch the sleep mode on or off . Finally, press the “FOREHEAD” button

. The settings will be taken over and the appliance reverts to standard mode.

Temperature measurements Measuring room temperature (standard mode) When you have fi nished setting the time and date and do not carry out any further procedures, the device switches to sleep mode after 1 minute in order to save the battery. In the condition as supplied to the customer the sleep mode is activated, as shown by the symbol, and the LC display

is completely switched off . When the sleep mode is deactivated, the device remains switched on, while the time and room temperature are still shown and updated once a minute. The LC display

shows the time and date alternately (Illustration D). Measuring body temperature (ear mode) IMPORTANT! It is advisable to carry out 3 meas- urements in a row on the same ear and to take the highest temperature as the measured value. A new measurement can be taken when the display “ ” goes out. Do not use the thermometer if pain occurs when the meas- urement is being taken. This could damage the ear canal. IB_106635_SSOT6B2_FR_DE_GB_LB2.indd 77 19.09.14 14:0678 GB Do not use the thermometer with external ear disorders (e.g. infl ammation of the ear canal, injuries to the outer ear). The condition of the aff ected areas could worsen. Do not use the thermometer straight after bathing or swimming when the ear canal is wet. This could dam- age the ear canal. Due to the risk of contamination of the measuring head

, clean the appliance after every use. In this mode, only measure the temperature in the ear and at no other place on the body.

1. If the sleep mode has been activated, activate the

thermometer again by pressing any button before taking the measurement.

2. Carefully press on the protective cap

and remove it with a gentle rotary motion and without using any force.

3. Check that the measuring head

and the measuring sensors are clean.

4. Carefully clean the ear canal with a cotton bud.

5. Pull the outer ear, tilted slightly upwards/to the rear,

towards the back of his head, so that the ear canal is freely accessible and there are no impediments be- tween the measurement sensor and the eardrum.

6. Please keep the outer ear slightly extended and now

carefully insert the measuring head

. The symbol will appear in the LC display

and the measurement will start after an acoustic signal.

8. The end of the measurement is indicated by means of

2 acoustic signals. IB_106635_SSOT6B2_FR_DE_GB_LB2.indd 78 19.09.14 14:0679 GB

(see “Functions / error analysis - selecting the temperature unit”).

11. Wait until the display “

” goes out before you start taking a new measurement. Note: The appliance automatically switches off if it is not operated for longer than 1 minute. When the sleep mode has been activated, the LC display

switches itself off . When the sleep mode has been deactivated, the appliance switches to standard mode. If the thermometer has been operated under normal conditions, the result of the last measurement taken before the appliance was switched off is stored. The measured value is available again along with information on the date, time and measurement mode when the “MEM / SET” button

is pressed again. The device has 9 storage spaces (see section on “Functions / error analysis - the memory function”). IB_106635_SSOT6B2_FR_DE_GB_LB2.indd 79 19.09.14 14:0680 GB Measuring the body temperature (forehead mode) IMPORTANT! It is advisable to carry out 3 meas- urements in a row at the same place and to take the highest temperature as the measured value. With diff erent room temperatures, let the appliance lie in the room where the temperature is to be taken for at least 30 minutes to “acclimatise” it. Before measuring your body temperature, you should relax for about 5 minutes. If you have done any physical activity or taken a bath, wait for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement in order to get a measurement that is as accurate as possible. Ensure that the forehead or temple is clean, free of injuries and not covered with sweat, cosmetics or ointment. Take a note of what measurement method you used to measure the temperature and inform your doctor of it.

1. If the sleep mode has been activated, activate the

thermometer again by pressing any button before taking the measurement.

2. Carefully press on the protective cap

and remove it with a gentle rotary motion and without using any force.

3. Check that the measuring head

and the measuring sensors are clean.

4. Hold the measuring sensor 1 cm away from the

forehead or temple. IB_106635_SSOT6B2_FR_DE_GB_LB2.indd 80 19.09.14 14:0681 GB

Note: The appliance automatically switches off if it is not operated for longer than 1 minute. When the sleep mode has been activated, the LC display

switches itself off . When the sleep mode has been deactivated, the appliance switches to standard mode. If the thermometer has been operated under normal conditions, the result of the last measurement taken before the appliance was switched off is stored. The measured value is available again along with information on the date, time and measurement mode when the “MEM / SET” button

is pressed again. The appliance has 9 storage spaces (see “Functions / error analysis - the memory function”). IB_106635_SSOT6B2_FR_DE_GB_LB2.indd 81 19.09.14 14:0682 GB Use as a household thermometer (scan mode) The thermometer can also be used in the house for non-contact temperature measurements in the range of –22.0 °C - 80.0 °C (–7.6 °F - 176.0 °F). Attention! Do not use this mode for measuring body temperature. – With this measurement, the current surface temperature of the object is displayed. It can be diff erent from its internal temperature, especially if the surface is exposed to direct sunlight or a draught! Due to its design, the thermometer measures the precise value when its casing has adjusted to room temperature. That is why you should not hold it in the hand for a long time when you want to take a measurement and why you should keep it away from direct sunlight! Do not use the appliance immediately after cleaning the measuring head

. The evaporative cooling eff ect of the detergent may falsify the measuring result. Sample applications: - The temperature of milk in baby bottles - The temperature of bathwater

and the “FOREHEAD” button

at the same time until “°F” appears behind the temperature display. Switching from “°F” to “°C” is possible with the same procedure.

The memory function (memory mode) IMPORTANT! The current measurement is always stored in the last storage space. When all storage spaces have been occupied, the oldest measurement is always deleted from the memory. Measurements taken in ear and forehead mode are automatically stored in the appliance. The measured values are available again along with information on the date, time and measurement mode when the “MEM / SET” button

is operated in standard mode. Press the “MEM / SET” button

once to retrieve the value of the last measurement. The “Memory” symbol (memory mode), the number of the measurement, date, time and measurement mode will appear in the LC display

(Fig. F). By pressing the “MEM / SET” button

the next storage space along with its associated measured value will appear. A maximum of 9 measurements can be stored. In order to return to standard mode, proceed as follows: IB_106635_SSOT6B2_FR_DE_GB_LB2.indd 84 19.09.14 14:0685 GB

and the “EAR” button

repeatedly at the same time until the LC display

again shows the room temperature, date and time, as well as the symbol (Illustration D).

2. You are now in standard mode again.

Changing the battery The appliance is fi tted with a lithium battery (CR2032, 3 V ) that allows a lot of measurements to be taken. If the battery is empty, you will be made aware of that by means of an appropriate error message (see “Functions / error analysis - problem-solving”). Push the battery compartment lid

downwards. Lever the battery

out with a small screwdriver. Avoid short-circuiting the battery at all cost. A short- circuit can occur if the screwdriver comes into contact with the battery and the live parts in the battery compartment at the same time. Insert the new battery into the battery compartment. Note: Ensure correct polarity. The plus sign on the battery must point upwards. Push the new battery under the metal nose and press it down until it clicks into place. Push the battery compartment lid

onto the battery compartment until it clicks into place (Fig. A). IB_106635_SSOT6B2_FR_DE_GB_LB2.indd 85 19.09.14 14:0686 GB

Problem-solving If the appliance cannot take a measurement in the designated range, it will generate an error message. This message should help to solve the problem.

Cleaning and care The device reminds you to clean the measuring sensor af- ter taking several temperature measurements. When this occurs, the cleaning symbol

appears in the LC display

and acoustic signals are heard. In order to avoid con- tamination with germs, the lens has to be rubbed after every use with a soft cloth that has been moistened with 70% medical alcohol. The use of hygiene attachments is, therefore, not necessary. After that, wait for at least 30 minutes before taking another measurement. Please keep in mind that due to the evaporative cooling eff ect of the alcohol, even the smallest amounts can falsify the result. Clean the housing with a soft, slightly damp cloth. In the case of more severe soiling a mild detergent can also be added to the water.Keep the appliance in a dry environ- ment and protect from direct sunlight. The appliance can be stored at temperatures of –10.0 °C - 55.0 °C (14.0 °F - 131.0 °F). Temperatures over 80.0 °C are to be avoided! In order to measure with it, however, it is nec- essary to let the appliance adjust to room temperature for a suffi cient length of time - otherwise an error message will be generated (see “Functions / Fault Analysis - Correc- tion of Problems”). A room temperature of 5.0°C - 59.9°C (41.0°F - 139.8°F) should also be maintained for the pur- poses of measurement. If the temperature is outside this range, an error message is shown (see “Functions / Fault Analysis - Correction of Problems”). Remove the battery when not using the appliance for any length of time. IB_106635_SSOT6B2_FR_DE_GB_LB2.indd 88 19.09.14 14:0689 GB
