Helpful Hints

• For infants, it is best to position child laying flat with the ear facing upwards.
• For children and adults, it is best to stand behind and slightly to the side.
• Always take measurements in the same ear since temperature readings may
vary from ear to ear.
• Readings taken while a child is sleeping should not be compared to readings
taken while awake.
• It is recommended to take three readings in the same ear with the highest
interpreted as the reading for:
– newborn infants in the first 100 days,
– anyone with a comprised immune system or other conditions where the
absence of fever is critical,
– a new user of an Ear Thermometer until proper technique is established.

Changing Modes

The TenderTemp can display temperature readings in either Fahrenheit or
Celsius. To switch between ° F or ° C, turn the unit off by pressing the POWER
button. Press and hold the SCAN button for approximately 5 seconds. ° F or ° C
will be displayed. Release the button and press the SCAN button again to toggle
between the modes. Five seconds after completing the selection, the unit will
prepare for a measurement and beep to indicate that it is ready.

Replacing the Battery

Your TenderTemp Ear Thermometer requires one lithium battery, type CR2032.
The battery needs to be replaced when the low battery symbol appears on the
display.
To replace the battery:
1) Use a screwdriver to loosen the screw from the battery cover.
2) Using a non-metal pointed tool,
carefully remove the battery
and insert the new battery with
the positive (+) side facing up.
3) Replace the battery by pushing against the contact springs.
4) Carefully slide the battery cover back into place. Be careful not over tighten
the screw.
NOTE: Please properly dispose battery away from children and heat.
