and the appliance beeps twice.

Important: Before taking a reading,
always make sure that the sensor is
clean and has not been damaged in
any manner; also check that the ear
canal is perfectly clean too. Now press
the (ON/MEM) button to turn the
appliance ON.
How to take a temperature:
1. Gently move the ear back slightly
to straighten the ear canal and
very carefully insert the probe into
the canal. Aim towards the timpani
membrane to get the most accu-
rate reading.

•
For children under two years of age,
gently pull the ear backwards.
•
For children over two years of age
and adults, gently pull the ear up-
wards and backwards.

2. Press the “SCAN” button on the right
side of the thermometer and in
about 1 second the thermometer
will emit an acoustic signal which
means it has taken the reading. The
temperature reading will be visible
on the display immediately.

Note: Ear temperatures have to be
converted into the equivalent oral
temperature.
The thermometer converts the tem-
perature to show the equivalent oral
temperature (depending on the re-
sult of clinical Bias).
Note: the reading taken in the right
ear canal can vary to the reading in
the left ear canal: this is because the
depth and size of the right and left
tympanic artery can be different.
Once the temperature has been re-
corded, the thermometer will emit
another short beep when it is ready
to be used again.
IMPORTANT
Always take temperatures in the
same ear canal to obtain more
accurate results. Always use the
same ear if the temperature has to
be taken repeatedly at various in-
tervals. If consecutive readings are
required, wait at least 2 minutes
between readings to prevent the
sensor from overheating and re-
cording inaccurate measurements.

Holding the thermometer in your
hand for too long and/or exposing it
to heat sources could cause the sen-
sor to record a higher than normal
room temperature. This could cause
the ear temperature reading to be
lower than normal.
