2. Product description

2.1 Overview

The thermometer measures body temperature on the basis of infrared energy emitted from the
eardrum or forehead. Users can quickly obtain measurement results after positioning the measuring
head correctly in the ear canal or on the forehead.
Normal body temperature is a range of temperatures. The following tables show that this normal range
also varies from place to place. Therefore, readings from different locations should not be compared
directly. Tell your doctor which type of thermometer you used to take your temperature and where it
was taken. You should also take this into account when making a self-diagnosis.
Forehead temperature
Ear temperature
Oral temperature
Rectal temperature
Axillary temperature

2.2 Structure

The thermometer consists of a housing, an LCD display, a measuring button, a beeper, an infrared
temperature sensor and a microprocessor.

2.3 Operating principle

The infrared temperature sensor
collects infrared energy that is
emitted from the eardrum or the
surface of the skin. After the
energy has been focused through a
lens, it is converted into a
temperature measurement by the
thermopiles and measuring
circuits.

2.4 Indications for use

The thermometer is intended for measuring human body temperature. The forehead mode is suitable
for people of all ages and the ear mode for people over three months.

2.5 Contraindications

Do not use the thermometer if the ear is infected with otitis media or pus.
