TIPS FOR MEASURING HUMAN TEMPERATURE

Bear in mind that the thermometer needs to have been in the room in which the measurement is taken for at least 30 minutes before use.

NOTE:

• Some people produce different 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 affected by inflammatory diseases (e.g. discharging pus or secretion), after possible ear injuries (e.g. eardrum damage) or in the healing period after operative procedures. In all of these cases, please consult your doctor.
• Use of the thermometer on different persons can be inappropriate 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 thermometer may only be used without a disposable protective cover.
• If you have been lying on one ear for some time, the temperature is slightly raised. Wait 60 seconds or measure in the other ear.
• As ear wax can affect the measurement, you should clean the ear before measuring if necessary.

MEASURING BODY TEMPERATURE IN THE EAR

1. Press the Power & Measure Button for 1 second to switch the thermometer on. All screen data will display on screen. Then wait for beep sound to let you know the appliance is ready and followed by last temperature reading.

388.8°C F → 36.8°C

1. Make sure that the sensor tip and also the ear canal are clean. 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 sensor tip can be pointed directly at the eardrum.

Under 1 year

Have child lay flat with the head sideways, so that the ear is facing upwards. Gently pull the ear straight back.

1 year +

Stand behind and slightly to the side of the child/adult. Gently pull the ear up and back to straighten the ear canal.

1. Insert the probe into the ear canal (the probe must insert well to ensure an accurate temperature measurement), then press the Power & Measure Button for about 1 second, release the button and you will hear 1 short beep sound means complete the measurement.

2. You may take out the device to read the measurement result.

3. The backlight display will remain light for approximately 5 seconds each time the Power & Measure Button is pressed, after each reading is completed, and each time the Memory button is pressed to recall a previous reading.

4. The thermometer will automatically shut off after one minute without use.

Note:

1. To ensure accuracy, please wait at least 1 minute between successive readings.
2. Clean the thermometer lens again after use. After cleaning, wait at least 10 minutes between readings, to ensure accuracy.

The readings

If the temperature measurement is below 38^ C ( 100.4^ C), a smiling face will be appear next to the reading.

If the reading is 38^ C ( 100.4^ C) or above, a frowning face will be displayed.

EMC TABLES

Medical Electrical Equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put into service according to the EMC information.

1. Electromagnetic/Radio Frequency Interference (EMC/RFI): Readings may be affected if the unit is operated within a radio frequency electromagnetic field strength of approximately 3 volts per metre, but the performance of the instrument will not be permanently affected. Care should be taken to keep the thermometer at least 15 ~cm / 6 inches away from R/C transmitters to avoid radio frequency interference.

2. Avoid keeping the thermometer too close to objects that continuously generate high heat (like a hot plate) for long periods of time, which can cause overheating of the thermometer.
