Safety Precautions Warning marks and symbols are indicated for safe and proper use of this product and prevention of any injury to you and others. See Table below for description of warning marks and symbols: WARNING Means a possibility of personal injury if the thermometer is not used correctly. NOTICE Means a possibility of personal injury or property damage* if the thermometer is not used correctly. *Property damage refers to any damage to house, family property, domestic animal and pet.
Safety Precautions WARNING MUST OBSERVE It is not advisable for users to make a self – diagnosis and self treatment based on the temperature results obtained. Seek medical advice. A self – diagnosis may result in deterioration of the condition. Do not touch or blow the infrared sensor. A dirty infrared sensor may lead to reading inaccuracy. Ensure the infrared sensor is cleaned before use for accurate reading. Clean the infrared sensor carefully with a cotton swab or soft cloth moistened with alcohol.
Safety Precautions NOTICE PROHIBITED Do not force the thermometer into the ear canal. If pain occurs, stop using immediately. If you suffer from otitis or tympanitis, do not use this thermometer. Do not use the thermometer if the ear canal is wet, from swimming, bathing or showering. Do not use the ear thermometer for other temperature measuring purposes. Do not drop, stand on or subject the ear thermometer to vibration or impact. ATTENTION Dispose battery with care. Do not throw battery in fire.
Setting Up Your Digital Ear Thermometer Preparations: 1. 2. 3. 4. To activate the ear thermometer, pull out the insulated strip. Replace any low - voltage battery to ensure a full power supply. For accurate reading, condition the thermometer at room temperature for 30 minutes before use. An unexpected change in ambient temperature is likely to reduce the reading accuracy. Any attempt to perform temperature measurment in front of an air conditioning unit will result in inaccurate readings. 5.
Using Your Digital Ear Thermometer Your First Test : 1. For new users of the ear thermometer, it is recommended that the first time you use the thermometer, 3 readings are taken from the same ear. The maximum reading should be taken as the final reading. It is normal to have a variance of + or - 0.3°C (+ or - 0.5°F) in three continuous readings. 2.
Using Your Digital Ear Thermometer Measurement Process: 1. Press the "START" key to switch on the thermometer. Remove cap from the thermometer to expose the ear sensor. The symbol will be shown on the display. 2. If the thermometer is in standby mode (displaying clock and date), press and release any button to turn it on. 3. Gently pull the ear back to straighten the ear canal (refer to “ 2 ” on page 16 of this Instruction Manual).
Using Your Digital Ear Thermometer Function Keys: M = Memory Key T = Talk Key 1. It is possible to activate a search mode when the thermometer is in the time mode. To do so, press the "M" key. If no data is stored, "--" will be displayed. If data is stored, the number of sets of data will be displayed, e.g. "21". Pressing the "M" key repeatedly allows you to scroll through the stored data. If a key is not pressed, the thermometer will return to the time mode after 1 minute. 2.
Using Your Digital Ear Thermometer Replacing Battery : 1. 2. 3. 4. Remove the battery cover. Insert the battery, observe the correct polarity. Replace the battery cover. Dispose used battery with care.
Maintenance and Storage: Maintenance: 1. Remove any marks on the thermometer with a soft and dry cloth. 2. Do not wash device with water or detergent containing abrasive agent. Storage: 1. Clean the thermometer after each use. 2. Do not leave the thermometer exposed to direct sunlight, heat, moisture, fire, vibration or impact. 3. Remove the battery if the thermometer is not going to be used for a period of time. Calibration: This thermometer is calibrated at the time of manufacture.

Questions and Answers Ear temperature measurement: 1. Why take an ear temperature measurement? The objective of taking a temperature reading is to establish what the core body temperature is. This equates to the temperature of the vital organs. The temperature of the ear accurately reflects the temperature of the vital organs because it shares a blood supply with the hypothalamus, which is the control centre for body temperature in the brain.
