2 Tips
Safety tips
Warning:
• To measure temperature, insert the sensor tip of the thermometer carefully into the ear.
• Use of the thermometer on dierent persons can be inappropriate in the event of certain acute infectious
diseases because of the possible spread of germs despite cleaning and disinfection. If you have any doubts,
please consult your doctor.
Notes on handling batteries
Warning:
• Batteries can be extremely dangerous if swallowed. Keep batteries out of the reach of small children. Should
a battery be swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately.
• Batteries must not be recharged or reactivated by any other means, taken apart, thrown into an open fire or
short circuited.
• Batteries can contain toxins that are harmful to health and the environment. Always dispose of batteries in
accordance with applicable legal regulations. Do not dispose of batteries with the normal household waste.
Important
• Replace weak batteries before they discharge completely.
• Leaking batteries can damage the device. If you do not use the device for an extended period of time,
remove the batteries from the battery compartment.
• Leaking batteries may damage the device. If you do not intend to use the device for longer periods, remove
the batteries from the battery compartment.

4 Getting started
The batteries are already inserted in all new devices. Before first use, remove the protruding plastic insulating strip from
the battery compartment. The thermometer will then switch on automatically.
5 Setting the device
Set the unit in which the temperature will be displayed, the date and the time
Press the button for 1 second to switch the thermometer on. The device performs
a brief self test: all elements of the display are shown for approx. 1second. Following
a successful self test, the device emits two short beeps. In Standby mode, the date
and time are shown and “ ” is displayed.
When the thermometer is used for the first time, and each time the batteries are changed, the date and time are dis-
played in the format during the basic set-up (after the self test). Now set the unit in which the temperature will
be displayed, the date and the time. To set the device, proceed in stages: unit – year – month – day – hours – minutes.
• Press the button for approx. 3 second to access the Set mode.
The setting to be changed will flash in turn.
• Press the button again to save the setting or
• press the button to change the setting.
• Then press the button to save the setting.
After this process, the thermometer shows the word in the display and switches o automatically.

6 What you should know about using this thermometer
There are dierent thermometers for taking temperature measurements in dierent parts of the body:
• Ear/forehead thermometer (this thermometer, for measuring in the ear or on the forehead area)
• Rod thermometer (for rectal (in the back passage), axillary (under the arm) or oral measurement (in the mouth))
Taking the temperature gives a measurement that provides information about a person’s current body tempera-
ture. If you are uncertain about interpreting the results or if the value is abnormal, please consult your doctor.
This also applies in the case of slight temperature changes if there are other symptoms of illness such as agita-
tion, severe sweating, flushed skin, fast pulse rate, tendency to collapse etc.
Temperatures measured with dierent thermometers cannot be compared with one another. You should there-
fore tell your doctor (or bear in mind if you are diagnosing yourself) what thermometer you used to take your
temperature and in what part of the body.
The temperature of a healthy person is aected by various factors: the person’s individual metabolism, their age
(body temperature is higher in babies and toddlers and decreases with age. Greater temperature fluctuations
occur faster and more often in children, e.g. due to growth spurts), their clothing, the ambient temperature, the
time of day (body temperature is lower in the morning and increases throughout the day towards evening), the
preceding physical and, to a lesser extent, mental activity.
The temperature varies depending on the part of the body where the measurement is taken. The dierence can
be between 0.4°F (0,2°F) and 1.8°F (1°C) for a healthy body. The normal temperature ranges are as follows:
• On the forehead: 96.4°F – 99.7°F (35.8°C – 37.6°C), measured with a forehead thermometer
• In the ear: 96.8°F – 100°F (36.0°C – 37.8°C), measured with an ear thermometer
• In the back passage: 97.3°F – 100°F (36.3°C – 37.8°C), measured with a conventional thermometer
• In the mouth: 96.8°F – 99.3°F (36.0°C – 37.4°C), measured with a conventional thermometer
In order to track temperature change, always take the measurements in the same part of the body.

7 Measuring
Before each use, please check that the lens is intact. If it is damaged, please contact your retailer or the service address.
Bear in mind that the thermometer needs to have been in the room in which the measurement is taken for at least
30 minutes before use.
Measuring body temperature in the ear
• Some people produce dierent readings in their left and right ear. In order to record temperature changes,
always measure a person’s temperature in the same ear.
• The ear thermometer may be used by children only under adult supervision. Measurement is usually possible
over the age of 6 months. In infants under 6 months, the ear canal is still very narrow so the temperature of
the eardrum often cannot be recorded and the result displayed is often too low.
• The measurement must not be taken in an ear aected by inflammatory diseases (e.g. discharging pus or
secretion), after possible ear injuries (e.g. eardrum damage) or in the healing period after operative proce-
dures. In all of these cases, please consult your doctor.
• Use of the thermometer on dierent persons can be inappropriate in the event of certain acute infectious
diseases because of the possible spread of germs despite cleaning and disinfection. If you have any doubts,
please consult your doctor.
• This thermometer may only be used without a disposable protective cover.
• If you have been lying on one ear for some time, the temperature is slightly raised. Wait a little while or meas-
ure in the other ear.
• As ear wax can aect the measurement, you should clean the ear before measuring if necessary.
27
The temperature last measured, i.e. only the last value of a series of measurements, is automatically stored as soon as
the thermometer switches itself o or is switched o. There are 10 memory spaces available for this.
To switch the thermometer o, press the and buttons simultaneously for approx. 3 seconds.
If you do not press any other buttons, the thermometer automatically switches o approx. one minute after displaying
the measured value.
To call up the saved values, switch the thermometer on and press the button.
The date, time, storage space number, the measurement mode symbol and the temperature are displayed in turn.
Browse through the stored measurements by pressing the button repeatedly.
8 Replacing the battery
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 appears in the display, the batteries must be
replaced. If the batteries are too flat, then the thermometer will switch o automatically.
Note:
• When changing the batteries, use batteries of the same type, make and capacity.
• Always replace all batteries at the same time.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• Use batteries free from heavy metals.
