Mounting the Tympanic Thermometer
The Tympanic Thermometer can be mounted either to the wall using a mounting plate, or to a pole, or
rail mount using the universal mounting clamp.
The picture below shows as an example, how the mounting clamp is attached to the Tympanic
Thermometer base station.
Tympanic Thermometer Biotech Mode
NOTE
To access the biotech mode, switch off the tympanic thermometer, and remove the probe cover.
The biotech function is used to select the operational mode of the thermometer, and to verify the
installed software version. All operational mode settings in biotech mode are stored in nonvolatile
memory and retained through system power cycles, such as changing batteries. All factory calibration
parameters are also stored in nonvolatile memory.
The factory default settings are shown below:
The Tympanic temperature has an operating range within the ambient temperature range of 16°C —
33°C (60.8°F — 91.4°F).
The biotech mode is accessed by pressing and holding the timer and °C/°F buttons for four seconds.
All LCD segments will light for one second, the thermometer will issue a single beep, and the display
will show scrolling dashes. Pressing the timer button cycles through the biotech modes. When options
are available within a mode, the °C/°F button cycles through the options.
