Important Information before Use
When using this product, please be sure to follow all the notes listed below.
Any action against these notices may cause injury or affect the accuracy.
1. Do not disassemble, repair, or remodel the thermometer.
2. Be sure to clean the thermometer lens each time after usage.
3. Avoid direct finger contact with the lens.
4. WARNING: No modification of this equipment is allowed.
5. It is recommended that user may take 3 temperatures. If they are
different, use the highest reading.
6. Do not expose the thermometer to extreme temperature, very high
humidity, or direct sunlight.
7. Avoid extreme shock or dropping the device.
8. Before the measurement, patients and thermometer should stay in
steady state room condition for at least 30 minutes.
9. Avoid measuring temperature in 30 minutes after exercise, bathing, or
returning from outdoor.
10. To protect the environment, dispose of empty batteries at appropriate
collection sites according to national or local regulations.
11. Please use the thermometer solely for its intended purpose.
12. There are no absolute body temperature standards. Keep reliable
records of your personal temperature to serve as a reference for
judging a fever.
13. Under any circumstances, the temperature taking result is ONLY for
reference. Before taking any medical action, please consult your
physician.
14. The thermometer is calibrated at the time of manufacture. If at any

3
time you question the accuracy of temperature measurements, please
contact an authorized distributor for sending calibration services,
additional cost may apply for return shipping fee.
15. CAUTION - Avoid potential allergic reactions, please avoid the
front of scanner in direct contact to patient's wound.
16. CAUTION - Please keep this device away from pets, pests, and
children.
17. CAUTION: Please keep away from children and pets, because
small parts may be inhaled or swallowed.
18. If you would require any assistance during setting up, using or
maintaining, please contact the manufacturer.
19. Avoid usin9g the device near an operating cell phone or microwave
oven.
20. If any serious incident that has occurred in relation to the device
should be reported to the manufacturer and the competent authority
of the Member State in which the user is established.
21. Neonatal under 6 months, the ear canal is still under development,
very narrow so the temperature of the eardrum often cannot be
recorded and the result displayed is often too low.
22. Make sure the ear canal is clean not blocked by earwax.

Battery Installation
When the batteries get weak, the battery warning symbol appears
. It is still possible to measure temperature. The batteries must be
replaced. When the battery symbol flashes and “Lo” appears in
the display, the batteries must be replaced. If the batteries are too flat,
then the thermometer will switch off automatically.
NOTE:
• It is recommended to remove the batteries if the unit will not be used
for an extended period of time.
• Please properly dispose of the batteries away from small children and
heat.
• Batteries must be disposed of in accordance with local environmental
and institutional policies.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
1. Open the battery case by sliding off the cover on the back of the unit.
2. Remove used battery.
3. Replace with 1 x 3V CR2032 batteries in designated area. The larger
part of the battery should be facing up. You should still be able to see
the "+" sign when battery is installed.
4. Slide the cover back on. Unit is ready for immediate use
Dispose of used batteries in accordance with the applicable legal
regulations. Never dispose of batteries in the normal household waste.

7
Changing the Measurement Unit (°C/ °F)
1. Press the “Power/ Measure” button to turn on the unit.
2. If you wish to change the temperature scale of your thermometer,
turn your thermometer on and then press the “Power/ Measure”
button two more times in rapid succession.
Memory Function
1. The device can recall up to 10 measurements
2. Press the “Memory” button. The first reading displayed is the
latest measurement stored in memory.
3. Continue to press the “Memory” button to view the next
previously stored measurement.

8
Measuring Body Temperature in the Ear
1. Remove the Cover cap..
2. Press the Power/Measure button for 1 second to switch the
thermometer on. All screen data will display on screen. Then the
measurement mode flashes on screen. If the icon shows forehead
mode, please press Power/Measure button again to change to ear
mode. Then wait for beep sound to let you know the appliance is
ready and followed by last temperature reading.
3. Make sure that the sensor tip and also the ear canal are clean. As
the ear canal is slightly curved, you have to pull the ear slightly up
and backwards before inserting the sensor tip. This is important so
that the sensor tip can be pointed directly at the eardrum.
4. Insert the sensor tip carefully and press the Power button for 1
second.
5. The end of the measuring time is signaled with beep sound and the
measured value appears on the display.

9
Measuring Body Temperature on the Forehead
1. The cap should be in position on the probe nozzle.
2. Press the Power/Measure button. All screen data will display on
screen. Then the measurement mode flashes on screen. If the icon
shows ear mode, please press the Power/Measure button again to
change to forehead mode. Then wait for beep sound to let you
know the appliance is ready and followed by last temperature
reading.
3. When the beep sounds to let you know the appliance is ready, press
the Power/Measure button and maintain pressure.
4. Place the probe on your temple. Slide the probe across your
forehead to the other temple, and then release pressure on button
to stop temperature taking. You’ll hear a beep and your
temperature will come up on the screen.
Note: Forehead temperature may be affected by external climatic
conditions. If in doubt, do not hesitate to take your ear
temperature.

10
Clock Time and Ambient Temperature
When the thermometer is used for the first time or after a battery
change, the time must first be set. Then the ambient temperature
measuring mode is automatically activated.
If you do not need the room temperature or time to be displayed, or if
you wish to preserve the battery, do not program in the time after
changing the battery. This way you can turn on the thermometer for
ear/ forehead measurement as described. However, it then switches off
completely.
Setting the time
1. Open the battery compartment by pressing the knob for opening the
battery compartment with a pointed object and removing the battery
compartment cover.
2. Press the “Time Setting” button for setting the time until the hour
display flashes. The hours are set by pressing the Power button
several times until the required hour setting is reached.
3. You can now switch from the hour setting to the minute setting by
pressing the time setting button again. The minute display flashes.
Adjust the minute setting in the same way that you adjusted the hour
setting. When you have set the time, press “Time Setting” button
again for confirmation.
3. The display of the device now alternates between the time and the
ambient temperature.
Note: Using the device as a room thermometer and clock constitutes
a continual measuring process, which significantly reduces the
battery service life.

11
Cleaning and Disinfecting
For home use device disinfection, 75% alcohol (available in the
pharmacy) can be used.
•Probe and Tip
Clean the probe and tip before and after each measurement.
•Thermometer:
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean thermometer body. Never use abrasive
cleaning agents, thinners or benzene for cleaning. Do not scratch the
surface of the probe lens or the display. Do not expose the
thermometer to extreme temperatures, humidity, direct sunlight, or
shock.
