Questions and Answers

How many times can I measure consecutively?
You can measure consecutively up to three times. The main unit will then be warmed up and may not be able to
measure correctly. If you are going to measure more than three times, wait for 10 minutes, then measure again.
The temperature indicated is rather high.
1 The probe cover may be faulty.
2 You may have used the thermometer that has been stored in a cool or cold place. Measure the temperature
after leaving the unit in the room where you are going to use it for more than 30 minutes. If you store the unit
in the room where you are going to measure the temperature, you can promptly use the thermometer.
Is the temperature measured in the right ear different from that measured in the
left ear?
Among healthy people, there should be no significant difference in the measurement results. Differences may be
caused by the following reasons:
1) The probe is not inserted in the same way.
2) Measurement is not conducted by inserting the unit in a stable manner in the same angle. Try to measure in
the ear that consistently shows a higher measurement.
The temperature shown is rather low.
1 The probe cover is dirty.
2 The probe lens is dirty.
3 You removed the unit from the ear before the measurement is finished.
4 The ear is cold. The temperature tends to indicate low when someone uses an ice bag or an ice pack, or
immediately after coming in from the cold in winter.
5 The thermometer is not inserted deep enough in the ear.
