1 Safety Information
INTENDED USE:
The MEDISANA Infrared thermometer TM 750 is suitable to
measure the body temperature of humans. The measurement is
carried out in the ear or on the forehead. Additionally the thermo-
meter is suitable to measure the temperature of objects in the
range of 0°C to 100°C (32°F - 212°F).
Safety Information
• Only use the unit for the specic purpose described in the instruction
manual. Any misuse will void the warranty.
• The unit is not designed for commercial use.
• Using this thermometer is no substitute for consulting a doctor.
• The thermometer and the patient must remain in a stable environ-
ment for at least 30 minutes before measuring the temperature.
• This device is not designed to be used by persons (including child-
ren) with limited physical, sensory or mental abilities, or by persons
with insuf cient experience and/or knowledge, unless under obser-
vation by a person responsible for their safety, or unless they have
been instructed in the use of the device.
• Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
device.
• The temperature in the forehead and temple area dif fers from the in-
ternal temperature, which is taken orally or rectally. Vasoconstriction,
an ef fect which constricts the blood vessels and cools the skin, can
occur during the early stages of a fever. In this case, the temperature
measured by this thermometer may be unusually low. If the measure-
ment therefore does not match the patient’ s own perception or is un-
usually low , repeat the measurement every 15 minutes. As a referen-
ce, you can also measure the internal body temperature using a con-
ventional oral or rectal thermometer.
2
GB

1 Safety Information
• A control measurement using a conventional thermometer is re-
commended in the following cases:
1. If the reading is surprisingly low
2. For children under three years of age who have a weakened
immune system or who react unusually in the presence or ab-
sence of fever
3. If you are using the thermometer for the rst time or want to
familiarise yourself with it
•Babies’ skin reacts very quickly to the ambient temperature. There-
fore, do not take their temperature with this thermometer during or
after breastfeeding, because the skin temperature may then be
lower than the internal body temperature.
•If a fault occurs or the unit is damaged, do not attempt to repair the
unit yourself, as this will void the warranty. Contact your dealer and
only have repairs carried out by authorized service partners.
•Do not use the thermometer if it is damaged.
•Do not open up the device. It contains small parts which might be
swallowed by children.
•Do not use the thermometer in damp environments. Do not immer-
se the thermometer in water or other liquids. It is not watertight.
•For cleaning, follow the instructions in 4.1 Cleaning and mainten-
ance.
•Do not shake or tap the thermometer. Do not drop it.
•Protect the device from direct sunlight, extremely high or low tem-
peratures, dirt and dust.
•If the thermomter is not going to be used for a long period, remove
the batteries.
•Measurements in the ear should always be carried out in the same
ear.
• Do not measure on hurt or dirty parts of the body.
• The use of the thermometer by dif ferent persons may lead to infec-
tions with contagious diseases. Consult your doctor.

2.2 Useful information on taking temperature with the infrared
thermometer TM 750
What is fever?
Our normal body temperature is between 36°C (96,8°F) and 37,5°C
(99,5°F). Fluctuations are quite normal, depending on time of day and
the body’s condition, for example in the female menstruation cycle.
However, when body temperature rises above 38°C (100,4°F), the
phenomenon is known as fever.
4
GB

2 Useful Information
Fever often occurs in the case of infections, and is a sign that the
body’ s immune system is working overtime. This perfectly normal
reaction to foreign bodies, germs and microorganisms should be
checked at regular intervals. If the fever should exceed 39°C
(102,2°F) and not fall again within 1 to 2 days, you should denitely
contact your doctor.
A fever is often associated with fatigue, pains in the limbs, shivering
and chills. The course of an illness can be best monitored by taking
a temperature reading 2 to 3 times a day at 4 to 6 hour intervals.
Always take the temperature at the same place and on the same
part of the body. If you have to take the temperature several days in
succession, always do it at approximately the same time of day so
that the results are comparable.
Taking a temperature reading - quickly and accurately!
The MEDISANA Infrared thermometer TM 750 allows a precise
measurement of body temperature. The temperature is taken between
the forehead and the temple or alternatively in the ear. The reading is
displayed within a few seconds.
Additional function
Apart from measuring body temperature, the Infrared thermometer
TM 750 from MEDISANA can also be used to measure the tempe-
rature of objects (e.g. uids, surfaces, ambient temperature).
The temperature range for this function is between 0° and 100°
Celsius (32°F - 212°F).

be inserted. When the battery exchange symbol zappears in the
display after a longer time of usage, the batteries should be replaced
soonest. When the battery exchange symbol zappears together
with "Lo" or nothing at all appears in the display 6, the batteries need
to be replaced immediately.
Removal:
Remove the lid of the
battery compartment 8
and take out the batteries.
Insertion:
Put in two new 1,5V-batteries of type LR03 / AAA. Make sure, the

3 Operation
WARNING
BATTERY SAFETY INFORMATION
• Only replace with batteries of the same type, never use
di󰀨erent types of batteries together or used batteries with
new ones!
• Insert the batteries correctly, observing the polarity!
• Keep the battery compartment well sealed!
• Remove the batteries from the device if it is not going to be
used for an extended period!
• Keep batteries out of children's reach!
• Do not attempt to recharge these batteries! There is a
danger of explosion!
• Do not short circuit! There is a danger of explosion!
• Do not throw into a re! There is a danger of explosion!
• Keep unused batteries in their packaging away from metal
objects in order to prevent short circuiting!
• Do not throw used batteries into the household refuse; put
them in a hazardous waste container or take them to a
battery collection point, at the shop where they were
purchased!
Before use
Acclimatise the thermometer to the temperature of the room:
For an accurate reading of a patient’s temperature, their body must
rst acclimatise to the temperature of the room where the measure-
ment will be made. The same applies to the Infrared thermometer
TM 750. When taken somewhere else, it automatically adjusts itself
to the new environment. The thermometer takes a certain amount of
time to equalise its own temperature to that of the room. This de-
pends on the di󰀨erence between the two temperatures and can take
more than 30 minutes. Precise readings can only be taken once this
process is completed.

GB

3 Operation
Setting the unit of measure, the time and the date:
When the thermometer is used for the rst time or after a battery
change, the unit of measure, the time and the date must rst be set.
If you want to return to the setting mode later on, press and hold
the SET -button 7for approx. 5 seconds, when device is switched
on.
After the self-test (where all the display symbols are shown in suc-
cession in the display 6) two short beeps can be heard. Now you
adjust the unit of measure (°C or °F) with the SET -button 7. Press
the Memory-button 9 to conrm the setting. Use the same proce-
dure (SET -button 7to adjust a value and Memory-button 9to con-
rm) for setting the year, month, day, hour and minute. After the last
press on the Memory-button 9the display 6shows "OFF" and
then the device will switch o󰀨 automatically.
3.2 Information on measuring temperature
• The sensor 2of the thermometer must be kept clean and intact at
all times in order to guarantee that the measurements are accurate.
• Ear wax a󰀨ects the measuring accuracy. If necessary, clean your
ear and the sensor tip of the thermometer before measuring in or-
der to avoid erroneous measurements.
•Before taking a measurement on the forehead, clean the area and
remove any dirt, sweat or cosmetics before moving the sensor to
the measuring position as otherwise erroneous results could be
measured.
•Do not measure your temperature immediately after eating,
training or bathing. Wait for half an hour.
•Do not take successive measurements at intervals of less than one
minute. If you have to take your temperature at shorter intervals,
the results may uctuate slightly.
• The human body temperature uctuates within a natural range.
There is no such thing as a standard body temperature.
•Measure and record your body temperature on normal days. This
will allow you to detect a fever more easily.
•In order to make an accurate measurement in the ear, the sensor
must be directed at the eardrum and be inserted far enough into
the ear canal.

GB

3 Operation
NOTE
Forehead temperatures should only be taken for
checking purposes, since the skin temperature at the
forehead is easily a󰀨ected by outside inuences,
meaning that the measurement can be falsied.
• Some people will have di󰀨erent readings for the right and left ears.
Always measure the same person in the same ear when measuring
temperature changes.
• The measurements can also be inuenced by your sleeping position.
If someone has slept on a particular ear for a considerable period,
the temperature will be higher than normal in this ear. In this case,
measure in the other ear or wait for a few minutes before measuring.
1. Switch on the thermometer by shortly pressing the button for fore-
head measurement mode 3. The device performs a self-test and
emits two short beeps.
2. In order to measure the body temperature on the forehead correctly,
the sensor cover 1needs to be put on the sensor.
3. Place the measuring head with the sensor (and
the put on sensor cover) on a temple and press
the button for forehead measurement mode 3.
The symbol for forehead measurement mode
pappears in the display. Slowly move the
