2. The last measurement reading will be shown on the display automatically for 3 seconds with the «M» icon.
3. When the °C icon is flashing, a beep sound is heard and the thermometer is ready for the measurement.
4. Place the ComfortTouch tip gently onto the skin approximately 1.25cm above the center of the eyebrow. If the
eyebrow area is covered with hair, sweat or dirt, please clean the area beforehand to ensure accurate readings.

eyebrow to 1.25cm above the tail of the eyebrow area and back up again. A long beep will sound after 3 seconds to
signal the end of the measurement. If the movement is too slow to reach the tail of the eyebrow before the long beep
sound is heard, repeat the measurement as above from step 4, and move the thermometer a little quicker this time.
