cotton wool, as it may affect accuracy.
9. Portable and mobile RF communications can affect the device. The
device needs special precaution regarding EMC according to the EMC
information provided in the accompanying documents.
10. ME equipment should not be cleaned while in use.

Temperature taking tips
1. The right ear reading may differ from the reading taken in the left
ear. Therefore, always take the temperature in the same ear.
2. The ear must be free from obstructions or excess earwax buildup to
take accurate reading.
3. External factors may influence ear temperatures such as:
- lying on one ear or the other
- ears covered
- exposed to very hot or very cold temperatures
- recently swimming or bathing
In these cases, remove the individual from the situation and wait 20
minutes prior to taking a temperature.
4. For people wearing hearing aids or ear plugs, remove the device
and wait 20 minutes prior to taking a temperature.
5. When using the thermometer on infants under age 1, pull the ear up
making sure the sensor faces the eardrum. (See Figure 5)
6. When using the thermometer on individuals over the age of 1, pull
the ear back making sure the sensor faces the eardrum. (See Figure 6)
7. Do not touch the probe window. A cotton swab and rubbing alcohol
may be used to clean the sensor window.
8. If the thermometer is stored in a significantly different environment
than testing location, place it in the testing location for approximately

11. The patient is an intended operator.
Figure 5
Infrared Ear Thermometer measures core body temperature,
which is the temperature of a body's vital organs. (See Figure 1) Ear
temperatures accurately reflect core body temperatures, since the
eardrum is in the cranial cavity and is not affected by the environment.
The eardrum shares blood supply with the hypothalamus (part of the
brain.) Therefore, body temperature changes are reflected sooner in
the ear than in other parts of the body.
