Keep thermometer out of reach of children.
· A forced self-measurement by children may cause ear damage. For accidental
ingestion of battery or protective film, please consult your health professional
immediately.
Do not use immediately after any outdoor activities.
·Immediate measurement after outdoor activity in cooler temperatures may cause a
lower result. Wait until ear has warmed up before taking a measurement
When there is a temperature difference between storage area and measurement site,
maintain the thermometer for at least 30 minutes at room temperature at the location
where measurement is taken.
·Failing to do so may cause inaccuracy.
Notice
Stop using the product if there is any pain.
·It may cause damage to the ear canal.
It is not recommended to use the product in the presence of ear disease such as otitis
externa and tympanitis.
·Affected part may deteriorate.
Don’t use the product in a wet ear after swimming or bathing.
·It is possible to damage the ear canal.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Temperature
1. What is body temperature?
Body temperature means interior or core temperature of the human body which is controlled by the
hypothalamus in the brain. The eardrum has a blood vessel in it whose temperature accurately reflects core
body temperature.
2. How is the ear thermometer properly used?
* For children aged one year or less, pull the ear in an inclined backward direction. This position straightens
the auditory canal and allows for accurate measurement.
* For adults and children above the age of one year, pull the ear in a backward direction to straighten the
auditory canal before inserting the temperature probe for measurement.
3. What is a normal temperature range?
Users’ body temperature may vary with age, time and ambient temperature. Typically ear temperature is higher
than temperature measured under the arm. The graph below provides the normal distribution for body
temperature measured under the arm and in the ear.

Temperature distribution
Fundamental functions:
1. Current date and time display: Range of date display falls within Gregorian calendar year 1901~2099, time
display mode includes 12 hours shift or 24 hours shift (not user selected). The initial time for a powered system
is set at January 01, 2002.
2. Measurement and display of temperature: Measurement ranges from 32.0to 42.9(89.6 to 109.3).
3. 30 sets of measurement records are stored and searchable: Maximum 30 sets of temperature records stored.
Each set has a maximum storage time of 30 days. Temperature is stored together with measuring date.
4. Voice prompt: report measurement results (in or ) or current time
Preparation:
Page:3of8

1. Replace any low-voltage battery to ensure adequate power supply.
2. For proper measurement, keep the thermometer at room temperature for at least 30 minutes at the location
where measurement is taken.
3. Fluctuation of ambient temperature is likely to affect measuring accuracy. Any attempt to perform a
temperature measurement in front of an air conditioner, heating vent, refrigerator or other temperature modifying
equipment will make accurate results impossible.
4. Be sure to clean the sensor tip before using for another patient.
5. Be sure to keep ear clean. A cerumen-filled or feather-filled ear may cause inaccuracy.
6. To ensure an accurate result take measurements when the person is at rest. Temperature is likely to increase
immediately after exercise or bathing.
How to Take a Measurement:
1) Clean the sensor tip.
2) Insert the temperature probe along the eardrum as deep as possible into the ear, press “ ” once to start
the measurement. You will hear a beep sound. Upon completion of measurement you will hear a short
melody followed by the result via the speaker. The result may also be read from the LCD.
3) The result will be stored into memory automatically. If 30 sets of memory are stored already, the oldest set of
data will be automatically removed and the most recent will be come the first set of data in the memory.
(Note: the recorded data will be removed automatically when it is over 30 days old)
4) The maximum recommended number of continuous measurements of the same person is 3 times in a 10
minute period. If a fourth measurement is desired, please wait for 10 minutes before taking another
measurement.
5) Display of measurement results:
A. True value display for result that fall between 32.0 ~ 42.9 ; 89.6 ~ 109.3 
B. “HI” displayed for result above 42.9 / 109.3 
C. “LO” displayed for result below 32.0 / 89.6 
6) At completion of measurement, the unit automatically returns to time mode after 30 seconds.
7) The display will automatically turn off 3 minutes after last key is pressed.

Recommendations:
1. For first time users of IR ear thermometer, it is recommended to measure the same ear 3 times. The maximum
reading shall be recorded in case of different results. Any thermometer operating continuously can have a
normal variance of (±0.3, ±0.5 ).
2. Wait about 30 seconds before measuring the same patient again.
3. For users in sound health, both ears are almost the same in terms of body temperature. If temperature probe is
inserted in at different angles results may vary. You can rely on the results for the ear shows a stable, relatively
higher temperature.
4. Please clean the outer ear before measurement.
