Changing From Fahrenheit To Celsius And Vice-Versa - Summer 14374 Manuel D'utilisation

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
• There may be some inconsistent readings between different continuous measurements, due to the following
reasons:
• Different probe insertion depth (or angle).
• Too frequent measurement for the same ear within a short period of time
(more than 5 times, with time interval less than 5 sec.).
• Extreme ambient temperature change, dirty probe with ear wax or dust, dirty ear canal.
• Long stay of the probe inside the ear canal (should not be more than 5 sec.), probe shaking during
measuring or probe removing away from ear before hearing the beep.
1. Press the O/I button once to turn the ear thermometer on. The display will show all icons
momentarily while the ear thermometer runs a test.
2. Then the last measurement reading will appear on the display for about 2
seconds. You will see a small "M" next to the temperature reading. This
memory feature helps you track your child's progress.
3. The ear thermometer will beep and the °F or °C icon will flash, indicating that
the thermometer is ready to take a reading.
4. Straighten the ear canal by pulling the outer ear up and
back to give a clear view of the eardrum.
• For children under 1 year:
Pull the ear straight back.
• Children ages 1 year to adult:
Pull the ear up and back.
• For an infant, it is best to have the
child laying flat with head sideways so
the ear is facing towards you. For an older child
or adult, it is best to stand behind and slightly to the side.
5. While gently pulling the ear, insert the probe snugly into the ear canal and press the "START"
button until you hear a beep sound.You should hear this beep after about 1 second; It indicates the reading is
complete.
6. Remove the thermometer from the ear canal. Read the temperature measurement on the display.
NOTE:
• Always take measurements in the same ear since temperature readings may be different from the right and left
ear.
• In order to assure accurate readings, please wait at least 15 seconds between continuous measurements.
• In the following situations it is recommended that three temperatures in the same ear be taken and the
highest one taken as the reading:
1) Newborn infants in the first 100 days.
2) Children under three years of age with a compromised immune system and for whom the presence or absence
of fever is critical.
3) When you are learning how to use the ear thermometer for the first time and until you have familiarized
yourself with the instrument and how to obtain consistent readings.
• The LCD display automatically glows red when a fever temperature is detected. Glows green for normal
temperature.
• While the device is powered OFF, don't press the START button more than 8 seconds. If such case happens, you
will enter another mode of measurement for calibrating the device.
• For further normal clinical measurement, simply press on/off button to switch off the device and press
on/off button again for normal clinical measurement.
CHANGING FROM FAHRENHEIT TO
CELSIUS AND VICE-VERSA
The ear thermometer can display temperature measurements in either Fahrenheit or
Celsius. To switch the display between °C and °F, turn the unit off. Press and hold the
START BUTTON for 5 seconds, until the current measurement scale (°C or °F icon) flashes
on the display. Switch the measurement scale between °C and °F by pressing the START
BUTTON again. When the measurement scale has been chosen, wait for 5 seconds and the
thermometer will be ready for taking a temperature.
