Never immerse this instrument in water or other liquids. For cleaning
please follow the instructions in the «Care and Cleaning» section.
• Do not use the thermometer if there are any signs of damage. Do not
attempt to repair the thermometer.
• Earwax in the ear canal may cause a lower temperature reading, therefore it
is important to ensure the patient’s ear canal is clean.
• If the measurement result is not consistent with the patient’s finding or
suspiciously low, repeat the measurement every 15 minutes or double check
the result by another core body temperature measurement.
• This thermometer consists of high quality precision parts. Do not drop this

4. How This Thermometer Measures
Temperature
This thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from the eardrum and the
surrounding tissue. This energy is collected through the lens and converted to
a temperature value. The measured reading obtained directly from the eardrum
(Tympanic Membrane) ensures the most accurate ear temperature.
Measurements taken from the surrounding tissue of the ear canal generate
lower readings and may result in misdiagnosis of fever.
5. Setting The Date And Time
1. When using the Ear Thermometer for the first time please remove the plastic
strip located in the battery compartment.
2. Once the Ear Thermometer is powered up, the year digits will flash on the screen.
Or by pressing and holding the M-button for 3 seconds the year digits will flash.
Press the START button to set the year digits. Press the M-button to confirm.
3. Next the month and day will appear on the screen. Press the START button
to set the month digits. Press the M-button to confirm.
4. Follow the same process to set the day, 12/24 hour mode, hours and minutes.
