For more information about thermometer functionality, refer to the thermometer
manufacturer's directions for use.
Change the temperature scale on the ear thermometer
Refer to the thermometer manufacturer's directions for use to change between Celsius
and Fahrenheit.
Charge the ear thermometer battery
To charge the battery pack:
CAUTION Inaccurate measurement risk. If ear drops or other ear
medications have been placed in one ear canal, take the temperature in the
untreated ear.
A temperature measurement taken in the right ear might differ from a
measurement taken in the left ear. Therefore, always take the temperature
in the same ear.
When the monitor receives an ear temperature measurement, it displays
the measurement on the Home tab. If the Home tab already contains a
temperature measurement, the new measurement overwrites it.
If the probe is positioned correctly in the ear canal the ExacTemp light flashes.
When the thermometer detects an accurate measurement, the ExacTemp light
is continuously on, a long beep signals the end of the measurement, and the
display shows the result.
If the probe is positioned incorrectly in the ear canal or is moved during the
measuring process, the ExacTemp light goes out, a sequence of short beeps
sounds, and the error message POS (position error) appears.
Only the latest measurement is transferred to the monitor.
Measurements that have already been transferred to the
monitor cannot be transferred again.
