7.2 Activating/disabling key sounds
You can activate or disable the sounds of the keys on the ther-
mometer. If key sound is activated, a beep sounds every time
you press a key and after each measurement.
To activate key sound, press the S key briefly with the ther-
mometer switched on. A loudspeaker icon (
) appears on
the display. To disable key sound, press the S key again. The
loudspeaker icon disappears.
8. Measuring body temperature
Veroval
®
DS 22 can measure the temperature of both the fore-
head and the ear. Both types of measurement can be used to
measure your own body temperature (self-measurement) and
to measure the body temperature of another person (other
person measurement).
Important information to prevent incorrect
measured values:
Please note that the thermometer and the person whose
temperature is to be measured should be in a moderately
warm room for at least 30 minutes.
Do not measure immediately after showering, swimming,
etc. or when the ear or forehead are wet.
Avoid eating, drinking or exercising before taking a tempe-
rature measurement.
In the following situations we recommend you carry out
three temperature measurements and take the highest mea-
surement as the result:
- For children below the age of three with a weakened
immune system (particularly if presence or absence of
fever is significant).
- If the user is not familiar with the device and until he or
she obtains consistent results.
- If measured values are suspiciously low.
- If the measured temperature is doubtful and inconsistent
with the patient’s condition it is advisable to repeat the
measurement after several minutes. Please also refer to
Chapter 9: Cleaning and care of the device. It is also advi-
sable to use another, independent method of temperature
measurement and/or to consult a doctor.
8.1 Measuring ear temperature
The reading can be carried out in the right or the left ear.
Ensure the mode switch is set to Ear temperature measure-
ment. The thermometer measures the infrared radiation
emitted from the eardrum and the auditory canal. This infrared
radiation is captured by the sensor and converted to tempera-
ture values. Best values are obtained if infrared radiation from
