TAKING A READING
1. Clean the lens at the tip of the thermometer, using alcohol and
a soft cotton swab. Cleaning the lens before each use ensures
the most accurate reading and prevents cross-contamination,
see page 9 for complete cleaning and care instructions.
2. Press and release the red "SCAN" button. The thermometer will
perform a brief self-test, during which all indicators on the
display will be shown, Fig. 1, followed by the last reading taken.
3. The thermometer will beep, indicating that the unit is ready for
measurement. Gently insert the probe into the ear canal until a
slight resistance is felt, Fig. 2.
4. Press and release the SCAN button again, while keeping the
probe in place. A beep will sound when the measurement is
complete.
5. The temperature reading will be shown on the display.
6. If the temperature measurement is below 100.4° F, the beep
indicating the reading is complete will be a single, short beep.
A happy face will be displayed next to the reading, Fig. 3.
7. If the reading is 100.4° F or above, the unit will sound a long
beep, followed by two short beeps. A sad face will be displayed, Fig. 4.
8. After about one minute after use, the thermometer will automatically beep and shut
off.
9. Clean the thermometer lens again after use. Wait at least 10 seconds between
consecutive readings, to ensure accuracy.
NOTE: The backlit display will remain lit for approximately 5 seconds each time the SCAN
button is pressed, after each reading is completed, and each time the Memory (M)
button is pressed to recall a previous reading.
