1. The Advantages of this Ear Thermometer
Multiple Uses (Wide Range Measurement)
This thermometer offers a wide measurement range from 0 °C to
100.0 °C (32.0 °F to 212.0 °F), meaning the unit can be used as
an ear thermometer to measure body temperature , it also has a
feature allowing it to be used to measure surface temperature of
the following examples:
• Milk surface temperature in a baby’s bottle
• Surface temperature of a baby’s bath
• Ambient temperature
Probe Cover Free and Probe LED
This thermometer is more user-friendly and more cost-effective
since a probe cover is not required.
This thermometer includes a probe LED light which enables the
user to nd the correct ear position in the dark and is used as a
reminder (blinking LED and probe light) to clean the thermometer

3. How this Ear Thermometer measures 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 fever.
To avoid an inaccurate measurement:
1. Switch on the thermometer by pressing the ON/OFF button 4.
2. After one beep is heard (and the temperature scale icon is
ashing), straighten the ear canal by gently pulling the middle of
the ear back and up.
3. Place the probe 1 rmly into the ear canal, press the START
button 3and keep the probe in the ear until the thermometer
beeps to signal the completion of the measurement.
4. Control Displays and Symbols
• All segments displayed 7:Press the ON/OFF button 4to

Probe LED light is activated for 10 seconds and the unit auto-
off after 60 seconds. Press the START button to measure.
• Measurement complete AT :The reading will be shown on the
display 2 with the «°C» or «°F» icon; the unit is ready for the
next measurement, when the «°C»or«°F»icon is ashing again.
• Out-of-ear temperature indicator AK : A crossed-ear-icon will
appear on the display 2if the reading falls outside the range
32.0 - 42.2 °C (89.6 - 108.0 °F).
• Low battery indicator AL : When the unit is turned on, the
triangle icon will keep flashing to remind the user to replace the
