Thermometer: Keep Clean and Protected
NOTE: This ear thermometer does not require probe covers. Be sure probe tip is clean before and after
each measur
ement.
Earwax or any dirt may stay on the probe tip over time if it's not cleaned or stored properly.
To ensure accurate reading, clean the probe tip with an alcohol swab, wait for 3 to 5 minutes to let the tip
air-dry prior to each measurement.
Never use abrasive cleaning agents, thinners or benzene for cleaning. Take care not to scratch the surface
of the probe lens and the LCD. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the body of the thermometer. Do not expose
the thermomet
er to extreme temperatures, humidity, direct sunlight or shock. Do not touch probe tip with
fingers.
The
Ear Thermometer includes one 3V lithium battery already installed.
Approximate battery life is three years. If the Low Battery Display appears,
you can take only a few more measurements.
If the thermomet
er does not function at all, the Dead Battery Displa
y
appears (Figure 1). Immediately replace the battery as follows:
1 Unscrew battery cover to remove it, (Figure 1).
2 R
emov
e the old battery by pulling it out and up. Install a new
3V CR2032 lithium battery (Figure 2).Battery will snap into place.
3 Replace the battery cover by screwing securely into place.

UTION: Replace only with 3V CR2032 lithium battery.
Use of other types of batteries may present a risk of fire or rupture.
WARNING:
Keep battery out of child’s reach. Swallowing battery could be fatal.
Battery should not be charged or placed into extreme heat as it may
rupture.
Used batteries should be disposed of properly.

H
ow Does it Work?
The Ear Thermometer obtains 12 readings in 1 second by measuring the
i
nfrared heat given off by the eardrum and surrounding tissues and
converts this temperature into an oral equivalent temperature.
T
emperature From The Ear
Clinical research has shown that the ear is an ideal site for taking body
temperature. The eardrum shares the same blood supply with the
hypothalamus, the part of the brain that controls body temperature.
Therefore, the ear is an accurate indicator of internal body (core) temperature.
T
emperature Measurements Range
Many people believe that normal body temperature is 98.6°F (37.0°C).
However, medical research has shown that temperature varies from person
t
o person. Factors affecting body temperature include age, gender, physical
activity, environmental temperature, clothing, medications, and time of day.
O
ral temperatures may range from 96.4°F (35.8°C) to 100.4°F (38.0°C).

Le Thermomètre auriculaire fournit 12 relevés en 1 seconde en mesurant la
température de la chaleur infrarouge dégagée par la membrane du tympan et
les tis
sus en
vir
onnants, et convertit cette température en une température
orale équivalente.
Température de l’oreille
La r
echer
che clinique montr
e que l’oreille est un endroit idéal pour prendre la
température du corps. La membrane du tympan partage la même réserve sanguine
que l’hypothalamus, la partie du cerveau qui contrôle la température du corps.
Donc, l’oreille est un indicateur exact de la température interne du corps (centre).
Plages de relevés de température
Plusieurs personnes cr
oient que la température normale du corps est de 37,0 °C
(98,6 °F). Cependant, des recherches médicales démontrent que la température
varie d’une personne à l’autre. Les facteurs influençant la température du corps
incluent : l’âge
, le se

e
, l’
activité ph

, la température environnementale, les
vêtements, les médicaments et le moment du jour. Les températures orales peuvent

Connaissance de votre unité
La fonction de mémoire du Thermomètre auriculaire enregistre les 12 derniers relevés. Le
dernier relevé apparaîtra pendant environ deux secondes après avoir mis le thermomètre en
marche et après le test intégré. L’affichage de départ apparaîtra alors après le dernier relevé
indiqué. Cette fonction vous permet de comparer votre plus récent relevé aux précédents. Pour voir les 12 derniers

Pour un nouveau-né, il est préférable que l’enfant repose à plat, tête de côté de manière à ce que l’oreille soit vers le

de toute quantité excessive de cérumen et que bout de la sonde est propre (voir « Entretien et nettoyage »).
Pour assurer un relevé exact, changez d’enveloppe de sonde après chaque relevé. Rangez ensuite le thermomètre

always use the same ear. The temperature between the right and the left ear may differ.
Important Notes
High or prolonged fever requires medical attention, especially for young children. Contact your physician.
F
or an infant, it is best to have the child laying flat with his head sideways so the ear is facing upwards.
F
o
r an older child or adult, it is best
to stand behind and slightly to the side of the child. It is recommended
t
hat
thre

tur
es in the same ear be taken and the highest one used as the reading.
Keep in mind that the thermometer will automatically shut-off after one minute.
If you question any of the readings you get, check to see that the ear canal is free of excessive amounts
o
f earwa
x and that the probe tip is clean (see Care and Cleaning).
T
o ensure an accurate measurement, clean probe tip after each measurement. Store the thermometer in
a dry place at room temperature.
The Ear Thermometer memory function stores the last 12 measurements. The last measurement will
appear for approximately two seconds after turning the thermometer on and after it runs its built-in test.
The ready display will then show after last reading appears. This feature allows you
to compare your most recent measurement to the prior ones. To scroll through the
last 12 measurements: With unit off, press and hold the activation button for 3 seconds.
