INTRODUCTION
IMPORTANT CLEANING INFORMATION
This thermometer has been carefully developed for accurate, safe, and fast human body
temperature measurements via the ear and forehead. It has also been similarly validated for
object temperature measurements.
This thermometer uses an offset when taking forehead and ear measurements so that the
reading reflects the body’s core temperature.
When used in accordance to the user’s manual, this thermometer can be easily maintained.
Please note that the ear is an ideal site for taking a body temperature measurement. This is
because body temperature is regulated by the hypothalamus, which shares the same blood
supply as the tympanic (ear) membrane.
• Earwax in the ear canal and lipid, oil, or sweat on the forehead may
cause an inaccurate measurement. Please make sure that the ear canal
and/or forehead is clean before attempting a measurement.
• If you clean the ear or forehead, please waiting for 5-10 minutes before
measuring.
• Don’t touch or blow the infrared sensor. A polluted or contaminated
infrared sensor may cause inaccuracy. If you think you have contaminated
the probe sensor, please clean it.
• To clean the sensor, gently wipe its surface with a cotton swab slightly
moistened with alcohol and immediately wipe dry with a clean cotton
swab. After cleaning, allow at least 20 minutes of drying time before
taking temperatures.
