I. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - Follow the maintenance advice stipulated in this instruction manual. - This device may be used for professional purposes or for personal home use. - This device must only be used for the purposes described in this instruction manual.
Tympanic Thermometry and better tolerated than Rectal Thermometry (1). However, as with other types of thermometers, it is essential to use the AT2103 properly in order to obtain reliable and stable results. You are therefore advised to read this instruction manual and the safety precautions carefully before use.
THE DIFFERENT METHODS OF TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT Core temperature Core temperature is the most precise measurement and involves measuring the temperature in the pulmonary artery by means of a catheter equipped with a thermal probe which can read the temperature in place. The same method is employed for probes measuring the esophageal temperature.
The AT2103 thermometer has been designed to produce an instant forehead temperature reading without any contact with the temporal artery. As this artery is quite close to the surface of the skin and therefore accessible and the blood flow is permanent and regular, this allows for precise measurement of the temperature.
- Allow a 1 minute interval between two measurements. - Each time there is a significant change in the ambient temperature due to a change in environment, to allow the AT2103 to acclimatize to this ambient temperature for at least 15 minutes before using it.
8.Longevity use (40,000 readings). 9.Practical, easy to use. ADDITIONAL USAGE: AT2103 can also be used to measure the temperature of a baby-bottle or bath (by using the Surface Temp Mode), or room temperature (by using the Room Mode). VII. INSTRUCTIONS 1.Install battery.
When the screen shows “OFF”, the voice disabled. 6. Recalibration of device via the “F-4” MENU When there is the difference between AT2103 and a mercury thermometer, and you believe the mercury thermometer is more accurate, you can use the recalibration function to adjust the...
Operation: Open the lid and change the batteries, taking great care with the correct positioning. A mistake with this could cause damage to the apparatus and compromise the guarantee of your AT2103. Never use rechargeable batteries. Use only batteries for single usage. IX. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 1.Normal using condition...
89.6°F to 109.2°F (32°C or above 42.9°C) but precision is not guaranteed outside of this range. LONGEVITY OF THE PRODUCT The AT2103 was built for an intense and professional use, its longevity is guaranteed for 40,000 readings. X. MAINTENANCE OF THE PRODUCT - The protective glass over the lens is the most important and fragile part of the thermometer, please take great care of it.
If the device is in Surface Temp Mode, the 32°C (89.6°F) temperature displayed is showing the external temperature of your body, rather than the internal. THE SCREEN DISPLAYS THE MESSAGE HI When using the AT2103 Thermometer, the message “HI” can show on the screen. In this case, the temperature is above the measurement range selected, above 42.9 °C (109.2°F) in Body Mode.
