6. How to use your thermometer

When you use the thermometer for the first time, please insert the batteries.

6.1 Take your forehead temperature

Hold the thermometer 0-3 cm (0-1.5 inch) away from your forehead, cen-
tre it and start the measurement by shortly pressing the „SCAN" button,
then you can read the value.
NOTE: Face measurement is an indicative measurement. The measured
forehead temperature can deviate up to 0.5°C / 1°F from your actual
body temperature. Please note the factors that influence the accuracy as
described in the chapters „Notes on temperature measurement" and „Warnings and precautions".
If the eyebrow area is covered with hair, sweat or dirt, please clean this area beforehand
f
to improve the reading accuracy.
Always check that the lens is clean.
f
Always make sure that the user and the thermometer have been in the same room for
f
at least 30 minutes before measuring.

6.2 Take your ear temperature

Remove the probe cover and insert the measuring head closely into the ear canal. Press the measure
button for one second, the beep confirms the measurement. You can now read the value.
Please make sure that the ear is clean, without earwax or blockages.
f
The measured value for the right ear may differ from that for the left ear.
f
Therefore always measure the temperature in the same ear.
f
Children under 1 year of age: Pull the ear straight back. Children aged 1 year to adult: Pull
f
the ear up and back.
When taking the temperature on an adult, pull the ear carefully up and back to ensure
f
that the ear canal is straight so that the temperature sensor can receive an infrared
beam from the eardrum.
Do not force the thermometer into the ear canal. Doing so could damage the ear canal.
f
Be careful when taking the temperature in a child whose ear canal is small.
