• It is recommended that you measure the same ear 3 times. If the three
measurements are different, select the highest.
• To avoid the risk of cross contamination, please clean the probe
according to "Care and cleaning" section after each use.
• A healthy person can have different temperatures depending on
where the temperature is take. The variance can be between 0. - °C.
• Clinical repeatability: 0.3°C (< year old), 0.°C (~5 years old),
0.°C (>5 years old)
When you get a new temperature reading in ear mode, the previous
reading will be shown on the screen at top right corner with the
icon for previous reading.
