NOTE: The device will automatically shut off if left idle for more than
one minute. The LCD will show the date, time, and room temperature
continuously.
5. DIRECTIONS FOR USE – EAR MODE
1. If Forehead Probe is attached, remove following the steps below:
Attaching or Removing Forehead Probe: On the backside of the
thermometer you will see a small arrow close to the head. When
removing or attaching the forehead probe line up the arrow on the
device head with the arrow on the probe. Only when the arrows
are aligned will the probe attach or remove. Always make sure the
probe is clean and not damaged.
2. Power On: Press the ‘ON/MEM’ button.
3. The default mode for the thermometer is the ear
mode when the forehead probe has been removed.
The thermometer is ready for use after you see the
icon on the display screen and hear two beeping
sounds (see Figure 3).

4. To measure ear temperature accurately, first
straighten the ear canal. To straighten the ear
canal for ages 2 years to adult: gently pull
the outer ear “up and back”. Fully insert the
thermometer gently into the ear.
5. Press and hold the ‘SCAN’ button until you hear a
beeping sound. Remove the probe from ear and the
temperature measurement is displayed on the screen.
• The key to an accurate reading is straightening the ear canal so
that measurements are taken directly from the eardrum.
• It is recommended that you measure the temperature 3 times
in the same ear. If the 3 measurements are different, select the
highest temperature.
• Always insert the thermometer in the same ear with the same
direction and depth.
• Always clean the probe accordingly (see Care and Cleaning)
after each use.
• Before measurements, remain in a stable environment and avoid
exercise and bathing for 30 minutes prior.

6. DIRECTION FOR USE – FOREHEAD MODE
1. If probe is not attached, attach following the steps below.
Attaching or Removing Forehead Probe: On the backside of the
thermometer you will see a small arrow close to the head. When
removing or attaching forehead probe line up the arrow on the device
head with the arrow on the forehead probe. Only when the arrows are
aligned will the probe attach or remove. Always make sure the probe is
clean and not damaged.
2. Power On: Press the ‘ON/MEM’ button.
3. The default mode for the thermometer is the forehead mode when the

(see Figure 5) .
5. Press the ‘SCAN’ button and gently scan around the temple area (see
Figure 5.1). While scanning, you will hear a beeping sound, which
indicates that the newest measurement is taking place. Measurement
has been completed after two short beeps are heard and the forehead
icon stops flashing.

6. Forehead temperature is displayed in oral mode. This mode converts the
forehead temperature to display its ‘oral equivalent’ value.
7. Before measurement, remain in a stable environment and avoid
exercise and bathing for 30 minutes prior.
8. Remember to keep the temple area clean and free from cosmetics, hair,
perspiration, and avoid any scarring while taking temperature.
9. The time needed for a measurement will vary depending on the device
obtaining an accurate forehead temperature. Normally 5 to 8 seconds
(up to 30 seconds).
