5. Operation
This thermometer is designed for use in the ear (ear passage / eardrum) usually for persons aged over
6 months. In children under 6 months, the ear passage is still very narrow so that the temperature of the eardrum can often
not be recorded and and the measurement result displayed is too low.
Before taking the temperature, remove the protective cap and ensure that the sensor tip and also the ear passage are
clean. If there are signs of acute infl ammation (discharge of pus or secretion, pain), in the case of injuries or directly after
operations on the ear, the non-affected side should be chosen. Otherwise, the measurement result can be incorrect.
Use of the thermometer in different persons can be inappropriate in certain acute infectious diseases because of the pos-
sible spread of germs despite cleaning and disinfection. Discuss this with your doctor in the individual case.
It must only be used without disposable covers.
There is a battery in it already so that it can be used immediately when operated for the fi rst time.
Switch on the thermometer with the „ " button. After a short self-test and a short beep the thermometer
is ready for measuring the temperature in the ear.
