4. While tugging the ear, fit the probe snugly into the
ear canal and press the activation button. Release
it, when you hear a beep. This is the Temp Beep
that confirms the end of measurement.
5. Remove the thermometer from the ear canal.
The LCD displays the temperature measured.
6. Repleace the lens filter after each measurement:
press the ejector button and put on a new, clean
lens filter.
7. New measurements can be taken as long as the
ready symbol
is shown. If no button is
pressed within 2 minutes, the thermometer will turn
off automatically.
Note: In the following situations, it is recom-
mended that you take three temperatures in the
same ear. If they differ, use the highest reading.
• Infants in the first 90 days of life.
• Children under three years of age who have a
condition such as a compromised immune
system and for whom the presence or
absence of fever is critical.
• When you are first learning to use the ear
thermometer until you are comfortable with
the technique and are obtaining consistent
readings.
Important: As with any type of thermometer,
slight temperature variations (± 0.2 - 0.3 °C /
± 0.3 - 0.5 °F) can occur, if consecutive
measurements are taken.
Temperature taking hints
• The right ear reading may differ from the reading
taken at the left ear. Therefore, always take the
temperature in the same ear.
• Sleeping on an ear may cause the temperature to
be higher than normal. Therefore, wait a few
minutes if taking temperature after sleeping.
• The ear must be free from obstructions or excess
earwax build-up to take an accurate reading.
Memory mode
The last temperature taken before the thermometer
powers down is stored in memory. To enter the
memory mode, press the
/ mem button.
Even in memory mode, new temperatures can be
taken provided that the ready symbol
IRT 3020
The stored temperature is displayed along with the
MEM symbol. To quit the memory mode, press the
/ mem button again.
IRT 3520
This model allows you to store up to 8 temperatures.
When pressing the
/ mem button, the display shows
the memory cell number (e. g. MEM 1), when releasing
the
/ mem button, the stored temperature is
displayed.
Each further pressing of the
/ mem button displays
the remaining memory cells (up to MEM 8). An empty
memory cell shows « – – – °C». Only the first empty
memory cell will be displayed.
To quit the memory mode, press the
/ mem button
again after reaching MEM 8 or « – – – °C».
Memory clear
Press the
/ mem button for at least 5 seconds
to clear the temperatures stored in memory.
Release the
/ mem button to return to the ready
