5. While gently pulling the ear, insert the probe snugly into
the ear canal (max. 1 sec.) and immediately press the
START button 2. Release the button and wait for the
beep sound. This is the indication that confirms the end
of measurement.

shows the measured temperature 9.
NOTE:
In order to ensure accurate readings, please
wait at least 30 seconds after 3-5 continuous
measurements.
Accumulation of ear wax on the probe can
result in less accurate temperature readings
or cross infection between users. Therefore,
it is essential that a clean probe is used
before each measurement. For cleaning,
please follow the instructions in the
«Cleaning and Disinfecting» section.
After cleaning the measuring sensor 1 with
alcohol, it is necessary to wait 5 minutes
before taking the next measurement, in order
to allow the thermometer to reach its oper-
ating reference temperature.
• 10 short beeps will sound when the temperature is
higher than 37.5 °C (99.5 °F) in order to alert the patient
that he/she may have fever.
• For an infant, it is best to have the child laying flat with
his head sideways so the ear is facing upwards. For an
older child or adult, it is best to stand behind and slightly
to the side of the patient.
• Always take the temperature in the same ear, since the
temperature readings may be different from the right ear
and left ear.
• Please wait for a few minutes to take the ear tempera-
ture after sleeping.
• In the following situations it is recommended that three
temperatures in the same ear be taken and the highest
one taken as the reading:
1. New born infants in the first 100 days.
2. Children under three years of age with a compromised
immune system and for whom the presence or
absence of fever is critical.
3. When the user is learning how to use the thermom-
eter for the first time until he/she has familiarized
himself/herself with the instrument and obtains
consistent readings.
