Important notes
• This thermometer is designed for taking temperature
readings from the ear and forehead only. DO NOT use it for
measuring rectal, oral or underarm temperature.
• This thermometer is calibrated and ready to use.
• This thermometer does not require probe covers.
• The thermometer body is NOT waterproof, only the infrared
probe is. Direct contact of the body with water or other
liquids must be avoided.
• A low battery symbol ( ) indicates that the battery needs
to be replaced.
• This thermometer is a delicate electronic device. Please
handle with care.
• Do not expose the thermometer to direct sunlight.
• Store at normal room temperature and humidity.
Safety notes
• Please read the entire instruction manual before using this
thermometer. Proper measuring technique is crucial to
achieving accurate readings. Improper use will affect
results.
• Earwax and other obstructions will affect the accuracy of
the readings. Before using, ensure that the optical lens is
clean. If it is covered by earwax, wipe it with a cotton swab.
If desired, moisten the swab with alcohol. If alcohol is used,
wait 5 minutes after cleaning the lens before taking a
reading.
• Do not use the thermometer if the ambient temperature is
below 10°C (50°F) or above 40°C (104°F).
• Do not use the thermometer if the ambient humidity is
higher than 95%RH.
Operating Instructions
1- Make sure that the optical lens is clean.
(see safety notes)
2- Press the On/Off button to turn the power on. The display
will show all screen icons and will emit a “beep”. When
the symbol “ ” appears, the thermometer is ready to
take a reading.
3- To change the reading mode, press the function switch
button and hold it for 3 seconds. The “ ” symbol
indicates that the thermometer is now in forehead mode.
To switch back to ear mode, press the function switch
button again and hold it for 3 seconds (the “ ” will
disappear).
To measure temperature in forehead mode
1- Ensure that the forehead mode is active (“ ”).
2- Place the probe at temple level leaving 1 cm between the
probe and the skin.
3- Press the scan button. A “beep” will indicate that the
measurement is complete. The temperature will appear
on the display.
Since forehead temperature is lower than ear temperature
and it is easily influenced by ambient temperature, we
recommend to also measure the ear temperature when
the result is higher than 37°C in forehead mode.
• Do not use the thermometer if the ear canal is wet or if the
person is suffering from an ear disease.
• Do not apply force when inserting the probe into ear canal.
• This thermometer is intended for household use only. Use
of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for
physician’s consultation.
Recommendation
• Wait at least 30 minutes after eating, exercising or bathing
before taking a temperature reading.

About body temperature
Several factors can affect normal body temperature. It
fluctuates throughout the day; being generally lower in the
morning and higher during the afternoon. Also as we age, our
normal body temperature tends to decrease slightly (see table
below for reference). Different parts of human body also have
different temperatures: generally, ear temperature is close to
oral temperature but higher than underarm temperature.
Body temperature average per age
Body temperature is controlled by the hypothalamus. The
blood flowing through the hypothalamus also flows through the
eardrum in the middle ear. For this reason, taking a
temperature reading in the ear can give a good estimation of
body temperature.
The Physio Logic Insta-Therm Quick-Scan Thermometer uses
infrared technology, which allows detection of the energy
emitted from the eardrum and its surrounding tissue and
conversion of the energy into a temperature reading.
Normal body temperature is different from person to person.
Knowing this temperature can be important for future
situations. Use your Physio Logic Insta-Therm Quick-Scan
Thermometer to take a normal temperature reading of you and
each member of your family and write it down on the last page
of this booklet for future reference.

To measure temperature in ear mode
1- Ensure the ear mode is active (“ ”).
2- Gently pull on the top of the ear to straighten the ear canal.
This will give the thermometer a clear path to the eardrum
(for children under 1 year old, see note below).
Note : For children under 1 year old
Pull the ear straight back instead
of pulling it up.
(While tugging the ear, fit the probe snugly into the ear
canal, as deep as possible.)
3- Press the scan button. Do not move the unit before a “beep”
is heard.
4- After the “beep”, remove the thermometer carefully from the
ear canal. The temperature value will appear on the display.

be accompanied by the original bill of sale.
To recall memory
• Press the On/Off button to turn the unit on.
• Press the On/Off button again.
• The display will show the number 1 and then the value of
the last reading.
• Press the On/Off button again. The display will show the
number 2 and then the value of the previous reading.
• Repeat the same process described above to view your
last 10 readings.
• Each time that a new reading is taken, the oldest value in
memory is deleted and the new one is kept in memory.
To change temperature scale
• Press the On/Off button to turn the unit on.
• Press the On/Off button again and hold. While holding,
press the scan button once. The scale icon will switch from
°C to °F. Press the scan button again to return to the
previous scale. After selecting the desired scale, release
the On/Off button.
Fever alarm
• When the temperature detected is above 38°C (100.4°F),
the LCD will be illuminated in orange colour to indicate
fever. Otherwise, the screen colour remains green.
Troubleshooting
1. Consistently low temperature readings :
• The waterproof lens is dirty.
- Thoroughly clean the lens with a soft, alchool-
moistened cotton cloth.
• The probe is not positionned proprely in the ear canal
(if used in ear mode)
- The tip of the probe must be fully seated against the
opening of ear canal. Failure to proprely position the
probe may lead to a low temperature reading.
2.
(HI, LO, AH or LH).
• Verify that you are using the correct reading mode (ear or
forehead).
• Scanning sequences are not operated in the ear canal
(if being used in ear mode).
- This may occur if you press the scan button before
placing the thermometer in the ear while the ambient
temperature is not within the measuring range (see
“technical specifications”).
• If operating in forehead mode, ensure that the probe is not
too far or too close from the skin (1cm is recommended).
.
Verify that the ear mode icon is visible.
Temperature reading is reported with an “out of range”
