User Guide:
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.
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, Fig. 3.
6. After about one minute after use, the
thermometer will automatically beep and
shut off.
7. Clean the thermometer lens again after use.
Please Note:
• Ear temperature readings are equivalent to oral
readings.
• For accurate results, wait at least 10 seconds between
measurements.
• 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
Fig. 1
reading.
• 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.
• If, after pressing the SCAN button to activate the
thermometer, a flashing"°F"does not appear, corrective
Fig. 2
action may need to be taken before use. See the
Instruction Manual for interpretation of error messages
and troubleshooting tips.
• Illness may be present even without an elevated
temperature, particularly in the elderly, in infants under
3 months of age, and those with compromised
immune systems. If illness is apparent without a fever,

consult with a healthcare professional.
• Certain ear conditions, such as ear canal drainage, ear
infection, or prior ear surgery may make ear
thermometer readings impossible or inaccurate. If
special ear conditions are present, consult with your
healthcare professional.
• Never leave a child unattended with a thermometer
