HOW THE EAR THERMOMETER TAKES A READING
The Ear Thermometer measures the heat radiated from the eardrum and the surrounding tissue. This energy is
collected through the lens and converted to a temperature value equivalent to the commonly used oral reading.
The measured reading obtained directly from the eardrum (Tympanic Membrane) can ensure the most accurate
body temperature. The accuracy of a reading will depend on your technique, so please follow instructions for use
carefully. We recommend that you practice using the ear thermometer on yourself and your family members when
they are healthy. You will then be more confident using the ear thermometer when a family member is ill.
WHAT IS A NORMAL TEMPERATURE?
Normal body temperature varies from person to person. It is important to be familiar with your and your child's
healthy temperature range to help you identify what is normal. You can do this with your Ear Thermometer. Please
note that ear, oral, rectal and underarm temperature readings also vary, therefore readings taken from different body
sites should not be directly compared.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Note: • The thermometer probe should be kept clean by using alcohol swab to wipe it 2 minutes prior to the
test, and after each use.
Dirt, dust, or ear wax on the sensor will give inaccurate measurements!
• Do not touch the thermometer probe 2 minutes before measuring the ear.
• The time interval of the continuous measurement for the same ear should be at least 15 seconds.
• The thermometer probe should be fitted into the ear canal deep enough with gentle insertion, making
sure you don't move the thermometer, then press the start key to get the measurement, do not
remove the probe until hearing a beep sound.
• Whenever putting on (or removing) the adult adaptor, you need to wait for 2 more minutes to cool
down the probe so as to get a reliable reading for next measurement. The adult adaptor should be
assembled to the probe by hearing (or feeling) a small click sound, so that we can ensure a reliable
measurement.
• The adult adaptor is not necessary to put on unless it is for measuring the temperature of an adult.
• There may be some inconsistent readings between different continuous measurements, due to the following
reasons:
• Different probe insertion depth (or angle).
• Too frequent measurement for the same ear within a short period of time
(more than 5 times, with time interval less than 5 sec.).
• Extreme ambient temperature change, dirty probe with ear wax or dust, dirty ear canal.
• Long stay of the probe inside the ear canal (should not be more than 5 sec.), probe shaking during
measuring or probe removing away from ear before hearing the beep.
