4 . Select age with Age Precision™ Technology button
toggle through each age group .
NOTE: You must select an age in order to take a measurement .
The thermometer is ready to take a temperature when the display looks like the images below .
5 . Fully insert the IRT probe into the ear canal and
point it towards the ear canal, make sure the IRT is
pointed toward the ear drum and not the canal
walls .
Once positioned correctly, press and release the
start button .
6 . ExacTemp™ Stability Indicator light will pulse while temperature measurement is in progress .
The light will remain solid for 3 seconds to indicate that a successful temperature reading has
been achieved .
NOTE: If the probe has been properly inserted into the ear canal during the measurement, a
long beep will sound to signal the completed measurement .
If the probe has not been constantly placed in a stable position in the ear canal, a sequence of
short beeps will sound, the ExacTemp Stability Indicator light will go out and the display will
show an error message (POS = position error) .
See «Errors and troubleshooting» section for more information.
7 . The confirmation beep indicates that an accurate temperature measurement has been taken . The result is shown on
the display . Temperature reading displayed is an equivalent of oral temperature .

pressing the Power button
The display will briefly flash OFF and it will go blank .
Temperature-taking hints
Replace disposable Hygiene cap with every use to maintain accuracy,
hygiene and to prevent cross-contamination. Earwax and dirt on the tip of
the Hygiene cap, even in a microscopic layer, can create an obstacle
between the sensor and the infrared heat emitted by the ear and impact the
accuracy of the measurement.
External factors like poor probe replacement, used Hygiene cap or dirty Hygiene
cap may influence ear temperature measurements .
In clinical studies, precision and accuracy of ear thermometer measurement has been shown to be influenced by
variability in user technique . Correct probe placement is essential for accurate measurements.
Temperature in right and left ear differs, always compare measurements from the same ear. The natural
physiological difference may reach 0 .2 °C . In the absence of confounding factors, in high-risk population (like infants or
immunodepressed people) use the highest of the two to interpret the patient's condition .
In the following cases, wait 20 minutes prior to taking a temperature: extreme changes in room temperature, hearing
aid, lying on a pillow . Use the untreated ear if ear drops or other medications have been placed in the ear canal .
Memory mode
1 . This model stores the last 9 temperature measurements . To display the stored measurement, the thermometer must
be turned on .
2 . Press the Mem button .
The display shows the temperature, and when releasing the Mem button, the stored
temperature for that memory number is displayed, together with "M" .
3 . Each time the Mem button is pushed, the stored reading and an M is
displayed to indicate each temperature measurement (eg . M2) .
Memory mode is automatically exited by not pressing the memory
button for 5 seconds .
How to illuminate the display
The thermometer includes a convenient night light to illuminate the display in a dim
environment .
The light will turn on when you press any button . It will stay on until the thermometer is inactive
for up to 15 seconds even after temperature is taken .
