Warning
Itisdangerousforpatientstoperformaself-evaluationandself-treatment
based on the measuring results. Be sure to follow doctors’ instruction.
*A self-evaluation may cause deterioration of diseases.
Don’ttouchorblowinfraredsensor.
*A dirty infrared sensor may cause inaccuracy.
Clean a dirty infrared sensor with a soft, wet cloth in a gentle manner, or
with a cotton swab slightly moistened with alcohol.
*Do not clean with a toilet tissue or paper towel because scratching of the
infrared sensor could occur, causing inaccuracy.
Keepthethermometeroutofchildren’sreach
*A self-measurement forced by children may cause ear damage.
For accidental swallowing of battery, please consult the doctor at once.
Measurement shall be suspended until ear is warmed up after any
outdooractivities
*Using a water-lled pillow or bag, or any immediate measurement
after an outdoor activity in winter may cause a lower result.
For temperature dierence between storage area and measurement site,
condition the thermometer for about 30 minutes in room temperature
(measurement site).
*Failing to do so may cause inaccuracy.
If the user’s body temperature exceeds 100.4°F/38°C and / or feel
uncomfortable, the user must contact medical practitioner.
Stopusingtheproductinoccurrenceofanypain.
*It is likely to damage the ear canal.
It is not recommended to use the product by users suering from ear disease
including otitis external and tympanitis.
*These conditions may worsen.
Don’tusetheproductinawetearresultingfromswimmingorbathing.
*It is possible to damage the ear or infrared sensor.
Don’tthrowbatteriesintore.
*Battery is likely to explode in re.

Temperature Taking Hints
1. The right ear reading may dier from the reading taken at the left ear.
Therefore, always take the temperature in the same ear.
2. The ear must be free from obstructions or excess earwax buiId-up to
take an accurate reading
3. External factors may inuence ear temperatures, including when an
individualhas:
• Beenlyingononeearortheother
• Hadhis/herearscovered
• Beenexposedtoveryhotorverycoldtemperatures
• Beenrecentlyswimmingorbathing
 Inthesecases,removetheindividualfromthesituation
and wait 20 minutes prior to taking a temperature
4.Usetheuntreatedearifprescriptioneardropsorotherearmedicationshave
been pIaced in the ear canaI
Preparations
1.Replaceanylowbatterytoensurefullpowersupply.
2. For proper measurement, condition the thermometer for 30 minutes in
measurement site.
3. An unexpected uctuation of temperature measurement is likely to occur
when reading is taken in front of an air conditioner or heater.
4. Be sure to keep ear or forehead clean for an accurate reading.
5.Toachieveaccuratemeasurements,itisveryimportanttocheckthatthe
infrared sensor is clean before using.
6. Measurement shall be done at a rest time to ensure an accurate result.
Temperature is likely to increase immediately after exercise or bathing.
7. Fahrenheit/Celsius switch: Press [TALK] and measuring key at the
same time to change between Fahrenheit and Celsius.

How To Take Measurement
1. To measure temperature in the EAR:
TakeotheFOREHEADCOVERfromthethermometer,carefullyplacethe
measuring probe along the ear canal into the ear, and then press the
Measure key to start the measurement. You’ll hear 1 beep and continue to
hold. After the completion of measurement you’ll hear two short beeps.
Now you can read the result on the display or hear it through a speaker,
iftheTALKfunctionison.Youcanmeasureagainafter“000”disappears.
2. To measure temperature on the FOREHEAD:
PuttheFOREHEADCOVERonthethermometer,placeitgentlyinthemiddle
of the forehead, between eyebrows and hair line. Press the Measure key to
start the measurement. You’ll hear 1 beep and continue to hold. After the

Recommendations
1. For new users, it is recommended to measure the same ear 3 times for the
rst time. The maximum reading shall be recorded in case of dierent results
since any thermometer suering a continuous operation is deemed to see a
slight error of (± 0.5°F, ± 0.3°C).
2.Waitabout30secondsbeforemeasuringthesamepatientagaintoavoid
excessivecoolingoftheskin.
3. For users in sound health, both ears are almost the same in terms of body
temperature.Pleaseselecttheearthatshowsastableandrelatively
higher temperature.
4. Please clean the ear before measurement.
