Switching Off - Medisana FTO Instrucciones De Manejo

Once the sensor is correctly positioned in the auditory canal, use
your index finger to press the START button
the unit. When the reading is successfully completed, you will
hear a short tone and can remove the unit from the ear. The
display will immediately show the temperature measured and
automatically store the result. In the case of a raised body
temperature (above 37,5 °C / 99,5 °F) you will hear 10 short
tones after the reading has been taken.
After approx. 5 seconds, the unit will be ready to take another
reading when the unit of measurement symbol (°C / °F) starts
to flash. After taking 3 – 5 consecutive readings, wait for
approx. 30 seconds before taking a further reading.
In each of the following cases, you should take three consecu-
tive readings in the same ear, using the highest reading as a
reference:
• With newly born children under 3 months old.
• With children under 3 years of age who suffer from diseases
of the immune system, and with persons for whom devi-
ations from normal body temperature can be dangerous.
• If you are not familiar with taking temperature and there are
large discrepancies between consecutive readings.
2.2.3 Other temperature readings
The infra-red thermometer can also be used to measure the
temperature of surfaces, such as the skin or of babies' bottles.
To do this, switch on the thermometer and hold the sensor
gently against the object to be measured. After you hear a short
tone, the unit is ready to use. Give the START button
press and keep the thermometer in place until a long tone
sounds, signalling the end of the reading.
The result is shown on the backlit LCD display and stored auto-
matically. If the result is not within the range 32 °C to 42,2 °C,
a crossed-out ear symbol will appear in the display.
When measuring the temperature of liquids, e.g. drinks, bath
water etc., you must only insert the light-grey sensor tip. Make
sure that no liquid can get into the unit.

2.2.4 Switching off

The thermometer features an energy-saving function and
will switch off automatically if no buttons are pressed for
45 seconds. You may also switch off the unit with a short press
of the ON/OFF button
