If a temperature reading is greater than or equal to 100˚F
(37.8°C), the fever alarm will display a frowning face and beep
twice to alert the user that it is likely that a fever is present
(Figure 6). THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT A FEVER IS NOT
PRESENT AT A LOWER TEMPERATURE. For more information
on the Fever Alarm feature, please refer to the “What is the
Fever Alarm?” section of this manual (page 5).
The temperature range of this ear thermometer is 93.2° F
(34.0° C)–109° F (43.0° C). If a measurement is below this
range, the unit will display “Lo” (Figure 7). If above this range,
the unit will display “Hi” (Figure 8).
The unit will display “Err” if the operating temperature is not
within the permissible range for measurement (see details in
technical section of this manual) (Figure 9).
7. The unit will automatically turn off after 30 seconds of non-use.
IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING TEMPERATURE
MEASUREMENT
• The measurement results that users receive are for reference
only. If users have any health concerns, please consult a physician.
• It is not necessary to perform an “ear tug” or pull on the ear
before taking a temperature measurement.
• For additional measurements, users should wait at least
5 seconds between readings to ensure accuracy.
• Use the ear thermometer at room temperature, as extremes
in environmental temperature can impact accuracy.
Unit should be stored at room temperature. Before use, the
unit must be at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
• Clean the waterproof probe with a cotton swab moistened
with alcohol between readings. Always keep rubbing
alcohol/cleaners away from children.
• It is recommended that you take multiple readings (three or
more) in the same ear and use the highest reading in the
following special circumstances:
