Always ensure that the sensor is clean and undamaged. Switch on the thermometer with the " " button.
6.1 Measuring in the ear
After a brief self-test and two short beeps, the thermometer is ready to measure the temperature in your
ear. The infrared thermometer is in „ear thermometer" mode. This is indicated by the symbol .
As the ear passage is slightly curved, you have to pull the ear slightly up and backwards before inserting
the sensor tip. This is particularly important so that the sensor tip can be pointed directly at the eardrum.
Insert the sensor tip carefully and press the "SCAN" button for 1 sec.
The end of the measuring time is signalled with a long beep. Release the "SCAN" button. You can now
read off the temperature measured. The LED is also illuminated according to the test result: a green
LED indicates that body temperature is within the normal range, but a red LED lights up with measured
values over 37.5 °C, i.e. it is a fever alarm.
The thermometer signals with two short beeps and the cessation of fl ashing of the ear symbol " " that
the unit is ready to continue measurement.
