WARNING: The measurement results given by this device
is not a diagnosis. It is not replacing the need for the consul-
tation of a physician, especially if not matching the patient's
symptoms. Do not rely on the measurement result only,
always consider other potentially occurring symptoms and
the patient's feedback. Calling a doctor or an ambulance is
advised if needed.
3. How this Thermometer measures Temperature
This thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from the
eardrum and the surrounding tissue. This energy is collected
through the lens and converted to a temperature value. The
measured reading obtained directly from the eardrum (Tympanic
Membrane) ensures the most accurate ear temperature.
Measurements taken from the surrounding tissue of the ear canal
generate lower readings and may result in misdiagnosis of fever.
To avoid an inaccurate measurement
1. Switch on the thermometer by pressing the START/IO button 6.
2. After one beep is heard (and the temperature scale icon is
flashing), straighten the ear canal by gently pulling the middle
of the ear back and up.
3. Place the probe 1 firmly into the ear canal. «Good» will be
displayed with a short beep to confirm the device has detected
the correct position. Press the START/IO button 6 and keep
the probe in the ear until the thermometer beeps to signal the
completion of the measurement.
4. Control Displays and Symbols
