5. Insert the probe tip of the ear
thermometer into the ear canal
within two seconds (Figure 8). It is
important that the probe tip be well
positioned within the ear canal.
Measurement time for the actual
reading is approximately one
second.
6. A beep will indicate the end of the measurement.
Results of the temperature measurement will be
displayed. In NIGHT MODE, the display will illuminate
for five seconds, and the thermometer will not beep.
If a temperature reading
is greater than or equal
to 100˚ F (37.8° C), the
fever alarm will display a
frowning face and beep
twice to alert the user that it is likely that a fever is
present (Figure 9). A FEVER MAY BE PRESENT AT A
LOWER TEMPERATURE. For more information on the
Fever Alarm feature, please refer to the "What is the
Fever Alarm?" section of this manual (page 6).
