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.

• 10 short beeps will sound when the temperature is

higher than 37.5 °C (99.5 °F) in order to alert the patient

that he/she may have fever.

• 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 the user is learning how to use the thermometer

for the first time until he/she has familiarized himself/

herself with the instrument and obtains consistent

readings.

4. If the measurement is surprisingly low.
