In the middle of the back is a small speaker grille, which emits the audible announcements of the thermometer. Below the speaker you will find the battery compartment. This can be located by running a finger along the back until you feel two horizontal raised edges. -
Page 4: Display
Display The display shows the time (hour and minute) and the room temperature which refreshes every five seconds. At the bottom of the display you will find the year, month and date. You can press the TALK button situated at the back of the device to hear the time and room temperature. -
Page 5: Using The Product
Using the product The measurements taken on this device are for your information only and are not a substitute for a medical examination. Before taking a measurement, it is recommended that the thermometer is stored at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Failing to do so may cause inaccuracy. -
Page 6: To Measure The Temperature On The Forehead
The maximum reading shall be recorded in case of different results since any thermometer used continuously is deemed to see a slight difference of about +/- 0.3C or +/- 0.5F. Remove the forehead probe to expose the ear probe. Carefully insert the probe into the ear as deep as possible without discomfort and press the measurement button on the right edge once to start the measurement and you will hear one beep. -
