• 10 short beeps and a red LCD backlight alert the patient that he/
she may have a temperature equal to or higher than 37.5 °C.
• For an infant, it is best to have the child lying flat with his/her head
sideways so the ear is facing upwards. For an older child or adult,
it is best to stand behind and slightly to the side of the patient.
• Always take the temperature in the same ear, since the tempera-
ture readings may be different from ear to ear.
• In the following situations it is recommended that three tempera-
tures in the same ear be taken and the highest one taken as the
reading:
1) New born infants in the first 100 days.
2) Children under three years of age with a compromised immune
system and for whom the presence or absence of fever is critical.
3) When the user is learning how to use the thermometer for the
first time until he/she has familiarized himself/herself with the
device and obtains consistent readings.
4) If the measurement is surprisingly low.
