EN
it at the center. Start to measure with a short pressing of
"Measure" button, when the beep is completely heard, you
can now read the value.
Remarks: please measure forehead temperature in
forehead temperature mode (the screen will show "
NOTE: The forehead measurement is an indicative reading. The measured forehead temperature
can fluctuate up to 1 ºF/0.5 ºC from your actual body temperature. Please be aware of the factors
that influence the accuracy as described in the section "Temperature taking tips" and "WARNINGS
AND PRECAUTIONS".
If the eyebrow area is covered with hair, sweat or dirt, please clean the area before
hand to improve the reading accuracy.
Always check if the lens is clean.
Always make sure the user and the thermometer will have been in the same room for
at least 30 minutes prior to the measurement.
2)Take your ear temperature
Take off the probe cover, fit the probe snugly into the ear canal.
Press and release the Measure button in 1 second, the beep is heard, you can now read the
value.
Please make sure that the ear is clean, with no earwax or obstructions.
The right ear reading may differ from the reading taken at the left ear.
Therefore, always take the temperature in the same ear.
34.7°C
Children under 1 year: Pull the ear straight back.
Children aged 1 year to adult: Pull the ear up and back.
Do not force the thermometer into the ear canal. Otherwise, the ear canal may get
injured.
When taking the temperature on an adult, gently pull the ear up and back to make sure
the ear canal is straight, so that the temperature probe can receive an infrared ray from
the eardrum.
Be careful when taking temperature on a child, whose ear canal is small.

Do you have a question about the FC-IR205 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Temperature is showing as 32’ which is clearly wrong and ear temp is always red and not measuring at all.
The Femometer FC-IR205 may show a temperature of 32°C and not measure ear temperature correctly due to several possible reasons:
1. Incorrect Positioning: The thermometer must be properly positioned in the ear canal to get an accurate reading. Ensure the ear is pulled correctly (straight back for infants under 1 year, up and back for older children and adults) to align the ear canal.
2. Obstruction in the Ear: Earwax or other blockages can interfere with infrared readings. Ensure the ear is clean before taking a measurement.
3. Environmental Factors: The thermometer should be kept in the same room for at least 30 minutes before measuring to acclimate to the environment.
4. Improper Use: The probe cover must be removed for ear mode, and the measurement should be taken correctly by pressing the button for one second.
5. Device Malfunction: If the thermometer consistently shows low readings, it may need calibration or battery replacement.
By addressing these factors, the thermometer should provide more accurate ear temperature readings.

Hi, the thermometer seems really difficult to use and know that this should be simple so apologies. Once inserted in the ear canal and the temp button is pressed, then the audible bleep is heard once removed the numbers on the screen read 511 for a few seconds then disappear, you have then got to go to memory to get your reading, this can’t be correct is it? Thanks in advance
