the
(ON/MEM) button to turn
the appliance ON.
How to take a temperature:
1. Gently move the ear back slightly
to straighten the ear canal and
very carefully insert the probe into
the canal. Aim towards the timpani
membrane to get the most accu-
rate reading.
• For children under two years of age,
gently pull the ear backwards.
• For children over two years of age
and adults, gently pull the ear up-
wards and backwards.
0-2 years
2. Press the "SCAN" button on the
right side of the thermometer and
in about 1 second the thermom-
eter will emit an acoustic signal
which means it has taken the read-
ing. The temperature reading will be
visible on the display immediately.
Note: Ear temperatures have to be
converted into the equivalent oral
temperature.
The thermometer converts the tem-
perature to show the equivalent oral
temperature (depending on the result
of clinical Bias).
Note: the reading taken in the right
ear canal can vary to the reading in
the left ear canal: this is because the
depth and size of the right and left
tympanic artery can be different.
Once the temperature has been re-
corded, the thermometer will emit
another short beep when it is ready to
be used again.
IMPORTANT
Always take temperatures in the same
ear canal to obtain more accurate re-
sults. Always use the same ear if the
temperature has to be taken repeat-
edly at various intervals. If consecutive
readings are required, wait at least 2
minutes between readings to prevent
the sensor from overheating and re-

Holding the thermometer in your
hand for too long and/or exposing it
to heat sources could cause the sen-

sor to record a higher than normal

room temperature. This could cause
the ear temperature reading to be
lower than normal.
"LAST READING" FUNCTION
The
reading" function is enabled. When
this function is used, you can take
temperatures one after another, with-
out switching the thermometer off,
Fig. 7
and the last reading will be visible in
the top right corner of the display.
MEMORY FUNCTION
This thermometer has a memory
which can store up to 25 readings
(Please note: if repeated readings are
taken without switching the ther-
mometer off in between, the memory
will only store the last reading taken).
To access the memory, switch the
thermometer on, press the
MEM) button repeatedly to scroll
through the various readings until you
find the one you need.
