Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a MABIS Ear Thermometer. Please read the following
instructions to achieve the most accurate temperatures and safe operation. With
proper care and use, your thermometer will provide you with many years of
reliable readings.
Your Ear Thermometer is intended for monitoring human body temperature and
is appropriate for all ages. It is less threatening than a rectal thermometer, is
easier and faster than standard oral measurements and can even be used while
a child is sleeping.
In one second, multiple readings are taken. These readings are converted into a
single temperature with the peak temperature displayed on the screen. Its
patented technology assures consistent, reliable and accurate measurements
each and every time.
NOTE: Measurements taken with this Ear Thermometer are comparable to oral
readings. Please read the instructions carefully as improper technique may
result in low readings.

General Care & Important Information
• Never use for purposes other than body temperature measurement.
• Only use under the supervision of an adult. Never leave the thermometer or
probe covers with unattended infants or children.
• For accurate measurements and to prevent cross contamination always use a
new, undamaged probe cover for each measurement.
• Earwax in the ear canal may cause an inaccurate reading.
• Do not use if there are signs of damage to the probe or to the thermometer.
Do not attempt to disassemble it, except to replace the battery.
• Protect the thermometer from severe impact or shocks. Keep stored in the
protective storage case.
Your Ear Thermometer measures the heat radiated from the eardrum and the
surrounding tissue. This energy is transferred through the probe and converted
into a single temperature value. Although readings taken from the eardrum
(tympanic membrane) can provide the most accurate readings, improper
technique can generate lower readings, resulting in a misdiagnosed fever.
To avoid inaccurate measurements:
1) Always use with TenderTemp probe covers for accuracy and hygiene. The
unit has been calibrated to work with our special probe covers.
2) Ear measurements are comparable to oral measurements. Remember
temperatures can vary from 97.0 ° F to 99.0 ° F (36.1 ° C to 37.2 ° C) and still
may be considered "normal". Time of day, level of activity, exercise and
other activities can attribute to variations in temperature. However, unlike
oral
temperatures, factors such as smoking, talking and drinking do not affect
ear measurements.
Cleaning and Storage
To ensure accurate measurements, keep the probe lens clean and free of
scratches. Fingerprints and earwax can cause inaccurate readings.
To Clean:
• Using an alcohol swab or a soft cotton swab
moistened with alcohol (70% Isopropyl),
carefully wipe the probe tip and lens. Make
sure
not to saturate the unit. Do not use paper
towels – the fibers may scratch the lens.
• Make sure that liquid does not enter the interior
of the thermometer.
• Never use abrasive cleaning agents, thinners
or gasoline for cleaning.
• Do not immerse into water or other cleaning
liquids.
• The thermometer is not waterproof.
