Performing an "Ear Tug"
An "Ear Tug" may be performed to help straighten the ear canal
in order to provide the thermometer probe with a clear "view"
of the eardrum.
To perform the "Ear Tug", grasp the ear and pull upward and
backward simultaneously. Insert the ear probe snugly into the
ear and depress the "SCAN" button to take a reading. (Please

When performing an "Ear Tug" on children less than 12 months
old, the ear should only be pulled straight back.
