THESE BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS ALLOW YOU
TO QUICKLY BEGIN USING YOUR INSTANT
EAR THERMOMETER. PLEASE REFER TO THE
INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR MORE DETAILED
INSTRUCTIONS COVERING THE USE AND
FEATURES OF THE THERMOMETER.
USER GUIDE:
1. Clean the lens at the tip of the thermometer, using alcohol and a
soft cotton swab. Cleaning the lens before each use ensures the
most accurate reading and prevents cross-contamination.
2. Press and release the SCAN button.
The thermometer will perform
a brief self-test, during which all
indicators on the display will be
shown, Fig. 1, followed by the last
reading taken.
3. The thermometer will beep,
indicating that the unit is ready
for measurement. Gently insert
the probe into the ear canal until a
slight resistance is felt, Fig. 2.
4. Press and release the SCAN button
again, while keeping the probe in
place. A beep will sound when the
measurement is complete.
5. The temperature reading will be
shown on the display, Fig. 3.
6. After about one minute after use,
the thermometer will automatically
beep and shut off.
7. Clean the thermometer lens again after use.
PLEASE NOTE:
• Ear temperature readings are equivalent to oral readings.
• For accurate results, wait at least 10 seconds between
measurements.
• If the temperature measurement is below 100.4° F, the beep
indicating the reading is complete will be a single, short beep. A
happy face will be displayed next to the reading.
• If the reading is 100.4° F or above, the unit will sound a long
beep, followed by two short beeps. A sad face will be displayed.
• If, after pressing the SCAN button to activate the thermometer, a
flashing “°F” does not appear, corrective action may need to be
taken before use. See the Instruction Manual for interpretation
of error messages and troubleshooting tips.
• Illness may be present even without an elevated temperature,
particularly in the elderly, in infants under 3 months of age, and
those with compromised immune systems. If illness is apparent
without a fever, consult with a healthcare professional.
• Certain ear conditions, such as ear canal drainage, ear infection,
or prior ear surgery may make ear thermometer readings
impossible or inaccurate. If special ear conditions are present,
consult with your healthcare professional.
• Never leave a child unattended with a thermometer.
