Ear and temple thermometer
Congratulations on your purchase of your new reer thermometer. This innovative
thermometer enables you to measure body temperature at the temples and in
the ear reliably in a matter of seconds.
You can also quickly and easily determine the temperature of surfaces (e.g.
the surface temperature of bathwater, baby bottles) thanks to the extended
0°C-100°C measuring range. The unique measuring technology with a modern
infrared sensor guarantees that every measurement is precise and reliable if ap-
plied correctly. We are convinced that you will enjoy the quality of our products
for many years to come.
Please read the instruction manual before using the device for the first time to
be able to make use of all the advantages this device offers. Please keep the
instruction manual in a safe place for future reference.

General safety instructions

·
Check the device for visible damage before each use. If you detect any damage,
the device may not be used.
· The thermometer is intended for private use.
· The measuring sensor should be cleaned after each use with a soft cloth dam-
pened with disinfectant.
· Always see a doctor in case of high fever or ambiguous measuring results.
· Children should not use the device without help from adults. Medical products
are no toys.
· The infra-red technology in your reer thermometer is absolutely safe. Although
it is not harmful to look through the lens while the temperature is being measu-
red, it is not recommended.
· The device may not be opened, with the exception of the cover on the battery
compartment. No modifications may be made to the device. If a device should
not work correctly, please contact your dealer.
· Keep the battery out of the reach of children. There is a risk of swallowing.
· Do not subject the device to physical shocks.
· Avoid direct heat and sunlight.
· The thermometer is not water-proof and must not be immersed in water or
directly in liquid.

Interesting facts about infrared
temperature measurement
The thermometer measures the infrared energy emitted at the temple or ear.
In this process, the value of the energy emitted at the temple is measured and,
together with the ambient temperature, converted into a body temperature
value. The measuring result is shown within one second.
A fever condition is present if the body temperature rises above 38 degree
Celsius. Fever is a sign of our body battling with pathogens. Measurements from
various body parts should not be compared, since a temperature range is normal
for a human body even in a fever-free condition.
The body core temperature (rectal measurement) and ear temperature (in the
eardrum) may quite normally be higher compared to the surface temperature
(measured at the temple), depending on the fever trend. When the temperature
is rising, the body conserves the heat internally. This leads to the skin cooling
down temporarily, despite the existing fever condition. In this case, the surface
temperature measured at the temple may be unusually low.
We recommend measuring the body core temperature with a rectal clinical
thermometer in the following cases:
· If the measuring result is surprisingly low
· For newborn babies during the first 100 days
· For children under the age of 3 with a vulnerable immune system or who react
alarmingly in case of fever or the absence of fever.
If you are unsure about the interpretation of the results or in case of abnormal
values (e.g. fever), you should consult a physician.

Before first use

New devices are supplied with the battery (CR2032) already fitted. Before using
the unit for the first time, remove the battery protection strip from the battery
compartment.
