Biosynex Exacto Thermoduo Manual De Instrucciones página 24

• While gently pulling the ear, insert the probe snugly into the ear canal (max. 1 sec.) and immediately press the
START button ②. Release the button and wait for the beep sound that confirms the end of measurement.
• Remove the thermometer from the ear canal. The display shows the measured temperature ⑨.
> NOTE:
• To ensure accurate readings, wait at least 30 sec. after 3-5 continuous measurements.
• Accumulation of ear wax on the probe can result in less accurate temperature readings or cross infection
between users. Therefore, it is essential that the probe is clean before each measurement. For cleaning,
follow the instructions in the «Cleaning and Disinfecting» section.
• After cleaning the measuring sensor ① with alcohol, wait 5 minutes before taking the next measurement, in
order to allow the thermometer to reach its operating reference temperature.
• For an infant, it is best to have the child lying flat with his/her head sideways so the ear is facing upwards. For
an older child or adult, it is best to stand behind and slightly to the side of the patient.
• Always take the temperature in the same ear, since the temperature readings may be different from ear to ear.
• Wait for a few minutes to take the ear temperature after sleeping.
• In the following situations it is recommended that three temperatures in the same ear be taken and the
highest one taken as the reading:
1. New born infants in the first 100 days.
2. Children under three years of age with a compromised immune system and for whom the presence or
absence of fever is critical.
3. When first-time users are learning how to use the thermometer until they have familiarized themselves with
the instrument and obtain consistent readings.
4. If the measurement is surprisingly low.
7. CHANGING BETWEEN CELSIUS AND FAHRENHEIT
This thermometer can display temperature measurements in either Fahrenheit or Celsius. To switch the display
between °C and °F, simply turn OFF the unit, press and hold the START button ②. This thermometer can
display temperature measurements in either Fahrenheit or Celsius.
To switch the display between °C and °F, simply turn OFF the unit, press and hold the START button ②
for 5 seconds; after 5 seconds, the current measurement scale («°C» or «°F» icon) will be flashing on the
display ⑫. Change the measurement scale between °C and °F by pressing the START button ②. When the
measurement scale has been chosen, wait for 5 seconds and the unit will automatically enter the «ready for
measuring» mode.
8. HOW TO RECALL 12 READINGS IN MEMORY MODE
This thermometer can recall the last 12 readings.
• Recall mode ⑬ : Press the START button ② to enter Recall mode when power is off. The memory icon «M»
will flash.
• Reading 1 - the last reading ⑭ : Press and release the START button ② to recall the last reading. Display 1
alone with memory icon.
• Reading 12 - readings in succession : Press and release the START button ② consecutively to recall the last
12 readings in succession.
Pressing and releasing the START button ② after the last 12 readings have been recalled will resume the
above sequence from reading 1.
9. ERROR MESSAGES
• Measured temperature too high ⑮ : Displays «H» when measured temperature is higher than 100.0°C
(212.0°F) in the ear mode or 42.2°C (108.0°F) in the forehead mode.
• Measured temperature too low ⑯ : Displays «L» when measured temperature is lower than 0°C (32.0°F) in
the ear mode or 34.0°C (93.2°F) in the forehead mode.
• Ambient temperature too high ⑰ : Displays «H» in conjunction with the «
higher than 40.0°C (104.0°F).
• Ambient temperature too low ⑱ : Display «L» in conjunction with the «
lower than 5.0°C (41.0°F) in the earmode or 16°C (60.8°F) in the forehead mode.
• Error function display ⑲ : The system has a malfunction.
• Blank display ⑳ : Check if the battery has been loaded correctly. Also check polarity (<+> and <->) of the
battery.
• Flat battery indication ㉑ : If the steady battery icon is the only symbol shown on the display, the battery
should be replaced immediately.
10. CLEANING AND DISINFECTING
Use an alcohol swab or cotton tissue moistened with alcohol (70% Isopropyl) to clean the thermometer casing
and the measuring probe. Ensurethat no liquid enters the interior of the thermometer. Never use abrasive
cleaning agents, thin-ners or benzene for cleaning and never immerse the instrument in water or other
cleaning liquids. Take care not to scratch the surface of the probe lens and the display.
11. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
This instrument is supplied with one lithium battery, type CR2032. Replace with a new CR2032 battery when
the flashing battery symbol appears on the display ㉑. Remove the battery cover by sliding it in the direction
shown. Remove the battery and replace with a new one ㉒.
Batteries and electronic instruments must be disposed of in accordance with the locally applicable
regulations, not with domestic waste.
