0 to 100.0 °C (32.0 to 212.0 °F); meaning the unit can be used as an
ear thermometer to measure body temperature, but it can also be
used to measure surface temperature of following objects:
• Milk surface temperature in baby's bottle
• Surface temperature of baby's bath
• Ambient temperature
Probe Cover Free
Since a probe cover is not required with this thermometer it makes
using the IR 1DE1 more user-friendly and more cost-effective.
Measurement in 1 second
The innovative infrared technology allows measurement of ear
temperature in only 1 second.
Accurate and reliable

Multiple Reading Recalls
Users will be able to recall the last 12 readings when entering the
recall mode, enabling efficient tracking of temperature variations.
Safe and Hygienic
• No risk of broken glass or mercury ingestion.
• Completely safe for use on children.
• Cleaning of the probe tip can be done with an alcohol-moistened
cotton tissue, making the IR 1DE1 completely hygienic for use by

4. How this Thermometer Measures Ear 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) can ensure
the most accurate ear temperature.
Measurements taken from the surrounding tissue of the ear canal
generate lower readings and may result in misdiagnosis of a fever.
To avoid an inaccurate measurement:
• Switch on the thermometer by pressing the O/I button.
• After one beep is heard (and the temperature scale icon is
flashing), straighten the ear canal by gently pulling the middle of
the ear back and up.
• Place the probe firmly into the ear canal, press the Start button
and keep the probe in the ear until the thermometer beeps to
identify the completion of the measurement.
This Thermometer has been clinically tested and proven to be
safe and accurate when used in accordance with its
operating instruction manual.

1. Press the O/I button. The LCD is activated
to show all segments for 2 seconds.
2. The last measurement reading will be
shown on the display automatically for
2 seconds with the «M» icon.
3. When the °C or °F icon is flashing, a beep
sound is heard and the thermometer is
ready for measurement.
4. Straighten the ear canal by pulling
the ear up and back to give a clear
view of the eardrum.
• For children under 1 year:
- Pull the ear straight back.
• Children above 1 year and adults:
- Pull the ear up and back.
5. While gently pulling the ear, insert the
probe snugly into the ear canal and press
the «START» button. Release the button
and wait for the beep sound. This is the
indication that confirms the end of
measurement.
6. Remove the thermometer from the ear
canal. The LCD displays the measured
temperature.
NOTE:
• 10 short beeps will sound and a red LCD backlight will illuminate
when the temperature is higher than 37.5 °C (99.5 °F) in order to
alert the patient that he/she may have a temperature above 37.5 °C.
•In order to assure the accurate readings, plase wait at least
30 seconds after 3-5 continuous measurements.
• Accumulation of ear wax on the probe tip can result in less
accurate temperature readings or cross infection between users.
Therefore, it is essential that a clean probe tip is used
before each measurement. Please follow the instructions in the
«Cleaning and Storage» section for cleaning.

•After cleaning the probe tip with alcohol, it is necessary to
wait 5 minutes before taking the next measurement, in order
to allow the thermometer to reach its operating reference
temperature.
• For an infant, it is best to have the child laying flat with his head
sideways so the ear is facing upwards. For an older child or adult,
it is best to stand behind and slightly to the side of the patient.
• Always take the temperature in the same ear, since the tempera-
ture readings may be different from the right ear and left ear.
• Please wait for a few minutes to take the ear temperature after
sleeping.
• In the following situations it is recommended that 3 measure-
ments are done in the same ear and the highest one is taken as
the reading:
1) New born infants in the first 100 days.
2) Children under three years of age with a compromised immune
system and for whom the presence or absence of fever is critical.
3) When the user is learning how to use the IR thermometer for the
first time until he/she has familiarized himself/herself with the
instrument and obtains consistent readings.
7. Changing from Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice-versa
This Thermometer can display temperature measurements in either
Fahrenheit or Celsius. To switch the display between °C and °F,
simply turn OFF the unit, press and hold the Start button for
5 seconds; When you stop pressing the Start button after 5 seconds,
the current measurement scale (°C or °F icon) will be flashed on the
display. Toggle the measurement scale between °C and °F by
pressing the start button again. When the measurement scale has
been chosen, wait for 5 seconds and the unit will enter the ready for
measuring mode automatically.
