sounded.
3. Gently pull the ear back to straighten the ear canal and snugly
position the probe into the ear canal, aiming towards the
membrane of the eardrum to obtain an accurate reading.
4. Measuring the ear temperature: Use the index finger to trig-
ger. Press "Start" button, a long beep will be sounded when
measurement is done.

off.
6. Fever alarm: the measuring temperature is higher than
37.5°C(99.5°F), the display will flashing and 4 short beeps
will be sounded. The measuring temperature is higher than
42.2°C(108.0°F), the display will show "Hi"and 4 short beep
will be sounded.
a. It is recommended that you measure 3 times with the
same ear. If the 3 measurements are different, select the
highest temperature.
b. To avoid the risk of cross contamination, please clean
the probe according to "Clean and Storage" section
after each use.

Scanning Mode

If you continuously obtain different measurement results, it is
recommended that you use Scanning Mode to measure.
Measuring the ear temperature: Use the index finger to trig-
ger, press and hold the "Start" button for 3 seconds to take
measurement. During the measuring process, gently pivoting
the probe side-to-side to view the entire ear canal or in order to
find the highest temperature. Release the "Start" button when
