- Digital Infrared In-Ear Thermometer
Thank you for buying the Centrios Digital Infrared In-Ear
Thermometer. It applies the Infrared Technology to measure the
infrared energy sent out from the eardrum and surrounding tissue, and
then converts it into a temperature reading. The Infrared Thermometer
provides more convenient and accurate reading than the traditional
thermometer does. The ergonomic and rotatable probe makes use
more comfortable, and the lightweight design lets you carry it
anywhere. The protective case is convenient for storage when
travelling or not in use.
The infrared ear thermometer’s features include:
Rotatable Probe — rotates for easy placement in the ear to get the
accurate measurement.
10 Temperature Memories — stores and recalls the last 10
temperature readings.
Degree Format Selection — lets you switch the temperature from
Celsius to Fahrenheit, or vice versa.
Automatic Shut Off — automatically shuts off about one minute after
the last measurement to conserve battery power.
