4. Temperature Measurement:

4.1 Ear Temperature Measurement, important – adhere unconditionally:

a. It is recommendable to measure 3 times in the same ear. If the

results differ take the highest value.

b. To avoid the risk of cross-infections you should clean the mea-

suring tip after every use as described under “Maintenance and

Cleaning”.

4.1.1 Gently pull the ear back to stretch the auditory

canal. (Fig. 4.1.1) Place the measuring tip

comfortably into the auditory canal. It has to

be directed towards the eardrum to ensure a

reliable measurement. (Fig. 4.1.2)

4.1.2 Press and hold the “SCAN” key till you hear a

beep. You can now remove the measuring tip

from the ear and read the measurement from

the display.

c. For healthy individuals, temperatures at different body parts can

vary by 0.2~1°C.

d. Clinical repeatability of readings: Deviation max. 0.23°C (<1 year

old), 0.22°C (1~5 years old), 0.21°C (>5 years old)

4.2 Temperature Measurement in Scan Mode:

4.2.1 When you press the “SCAN” key, the device will immediately show the

current temperature. Holding the “SCAN” key will update the tempera-

ture reading continually.

4.2.2 Possible applications: Temperature measurements of water, milk,

clothing, skin or other objects.

Note: In this mode, a present surface temperature is measured, not the

body temperature.

4.3 Room Temperature Measurement

4.3.1 You have to set the clock first before you can measure the room tem-

perature. After switching of the device now, the symbol will appear

on the display together with the current room temperature.

4.3.2 For room temperature measurement: Put the device on a table and

avoid the influence of direct sunlight or air conditions during measure-

ment.

4.3.3 The room temperature can be obtained 15 minutes later.
