How to use your thermometer
Guidelines with Illustrations
To measure ear temperature:
1. DET-1015 must be used with the probe protection cover. If the probe
protection cover is not installed, the display will display CAP (as shown
in Figure). To reduce the risk of cross-contamination, it is recommended
to use a new and clean probe cover for each measurement.
2. When the probe protective cover symbol only displays the symbol,
it means that you are preparing to use the probe protective cover
for measurement (as shown in Figure 2). When the display symbol is
flashing from left to right, it means that you are not using the probe
protective cover for measurement (such as Figure 3).

3. Insert the probe along the ear canal as deep as possible into the ear
as depicted in Figure 3. Then press the Test BUTTON once to start the
measurement. A long beep will sound approximately 1 second after the
Test BUTTON is activated. This signals the end of the process as results
are displayed on the LCD screen.
4. The thermometer is ready for testing again once an ear mark
displays on the LCD. A waiting period of 20 seconds between tests is
recommended to avoid excessive cooling of the skin.
5. The thermometer will shut off automatically after 60 seconds of
inactivity. To prolong battery life, press"
