3. Using the Unit
3.1
Taking a Reading
Notes:
• Make sure the probe cover is attached correctly.
• It is recommended that you measure 3 times with the same ear. If the 3 measurements are different, select the
highest temperature.
Ear Measurement Mode
1.
Press the ON/MEM button.
All symbols appear on the display.
Then the display shown at the right will appear with 2 beeps.
2.
Insert the probe into the ear as far as it comfortably goes in
the direction of the eardrum.
Notes:
• Gently pull the ear back to straighten the ear canal and position the probe into the ear so it is
snug, aiming towards the membrane of the eardrum to obtain an accurate reading.
• Holding the unit too long may cause a higher ambient temperature reading of the probe. This
could make the body temperature measurement lower than usual.
