If your Omron Thermometer shows a measured result exceeding 42.2°C (108.0°F), the probe cover might be broken. Try replacing it with a new one. Alternatively, the infrared sensor could be faulty, in which case you should return the unit to the point of sale.
Why does my Omron GentleTemp 510 Thermometer show a low temperature?
If the temperature shown on your Omron Thermometer is rather low, several factors could be responsible. The probe cover or infrared sensor might be dirty. Ensure that the thermometer is inserted deep enough into the ear and that the infrared sensor is directed towards the eardrum. Also, make sure you keep the unit in the ear until the measurement is complete and that your ear isn't cold.
Why is my Omron Thermometer reading too low?
If the measured result on your Omron Thermometer is below 34°C (93.2°F), make sure you are not removing the thermometer from the ear before the measurement is finished. Keep the thermometer in place until the measurement is complete.
Why does my Omron Thermometer say the temperature is too low?
If the temperature of the Omron Thermometer's main unit is below 10°C (50°F), accurate measurements cannot be taken. Allow the unit to adjust to the room temperature (between 10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F)) before measuring. Storing the unit in the measurement room beforehand can help.
Why is my Omron GentleTemp 510 not displaying anything after pressing the button?
If nothing appears on the display of your Omron Thermometer after pressing the blue button, the battery may be flat or almost flat. Try replacing it with a new one. Also, ensure that the battery is inserted with the correct polarities (+ and -).
What does the Er.1 error mean on my Omron GentleTemp 510 and how do I fix it?
If the “Er.1” error is displayed on your Omron Thermometer, it may be due to a significant temperature difference (more than 10°C) when moving the device between locations. Wait for at least five minutes until the “AA“ mark disappears before using the thermometer.
What to do if my Omron GentleTemp 510 Thermometer doesn't show '0' after inserting it in the ear?
If your Omron Thermometer does not display the “0” mark after inserting it into the ear, the probe cover may be dirty; replace it with a new one. Also, the infrared sensor might be dirty, so clean it with a cotton swab. Check if earwax is present in the ear and remove it with a cotton swab. If the unit's temperature is above 34°C (93.2°F), you can measure in 1 second by pushing the blue button.
