How This Ear Thermometer Measures Temperature; Control Displays And Symbols; Directions For Use - Microlife IR 120 Bedienungsanleitung

 Never open this device.
 Earwax in the ear canal may cause a lower temperature
reading. Therefore it is important to ensure the subject's
ear canal is clean.

3. How this Ear Thermometer measures
Temperature
This thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from
the eardrum and the surrounding tissue. This energy is
collected through the lens and converted to a temperature
value. The measured reading obtained directly from the
eardrum (Tympanic Membrane) ensures the most accurate
ear temperature.
Measurements taken from the surrounding tissue of the ear
canal generate lower readings and may result in misdiag-
nosis of fever.
To avoid an inaccurate measurement
1. Switch on the thermometer by pressing the ON/OFF
button 4.
2. After one beep is heard (and the temperature scale icon
is flashing), straighten the ear canal by gently pulling the
middle of the ear back and up.
3. Place the probe 1 firmly into the ear canal, press the
START button 2 and keep the probe in the ear until the
thermometer beeps to signal the completion of the
measurement.

4. Control Displays and Symbols

 All segments displayed 6: Press the ON/OFF button
4 to turn on the unit; all segments will be shown for

ready for the next measurement, when the «°C» or «°F»
icon is flashing again.
 Out-of-ear temperature indication AT: A crossed-ear-
icon will appear on the display 3 if the reading falls
outside the range 32.0  42.2 °C / 89.6  108.0 °F.
 Low battery indicator AK: When the unit is turned on,
the battery icon will keep flashing to remind the user to
replace the battery.
