• This thermometer should not be used on children under
2 years of age. For older children infrared thermometers
should not be used to manage important health concerns.
• Use of this thermometer should not replace a visit
to your doctor.
• DO NOT use this thermometer to measure rectal, oral
or underarm temperature.
• This thermometer is calibrated, ready to use and does
not require probe covers.
• The thermometer body is NOT waterproof, only the
infrared probe is. Keep the thermometer away from
water and other liquids.
!
IMPORTANT NOTES
!
• This thermometer is a delicate electronic device.
Please handle with care. Do not expose it to direct sunlight.
Store at normal room temperature.
• 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 ear canal is wet
or if the person is suffering from an ear infection.
• Do not apply force when inserting the probe into ear canal.
• Do not use the thermometer if the ambient temperature
is below 10°C (50°F) or above 40°C (104°F) or if the
ambient humidity is higher than 95%RH.
• This thermometer is intended for household use only.
Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute
for a medical consultation.

Operating Instructions
Wait at least 30 minutes after eating, exercising
or bathing before taking a temperature reading.
1- Make sure that the optical lens is clean. (see p.4.)
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.
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 use in forehead mode
1- Ensure that 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 and that the result 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 if the
forehead reading is higher than 37°C.
!
!
To use in ear mode
1- Ensure that 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.
3- Press the scan button. Keep the thermometer still until a
beep is heard.
4- After the beep, remove the thermometer carefully from the
ear canal. The temperature value will appear on the display.
Fever alarm
• When the temperature detected is above
38°C (100.4°F), the backlit screen turns
orange to indicate a possible fever. When
the reading is below 38°C (100.4°F), the
screen will remain green.

• The waterproof lens may be dirty.
Solution:

alchool-moistened cotton cloth.
• The probe may not be positionned proprely in the ear
canal (if used in ear mode).
Solution:
- Verify that the ear mode icon is visible.

°C
The temperature is higher than 50°C.
The temperature is lower than 0°C.
The ambient temperature is higher than 40°C.
The ambient temperature is lower than 10°C.
The battery running low.
Please replace the battery.
Check if the unit is turned on or if the
battery has been proprely installed.
- 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. If the thermometer displays an out of range error message
(HI, LO, AH or LH).
Solutions:
• Verify that you are using the correct reading
mode (ear or forehead).
• 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
(ear mode) (see p.14). Ensure that you are following the
instructions on p. 7.
• If operating in forehead mode, ensure that the
probe is not too far or too close from the skin
(1 cm is recommended).
Care and cleaning
Clean the uniquely-designed waterproof probe with a soft,
alcohol-moistened cloth after each use.
Clean the body of the ear thermometer with a soft, dry cloth.
DO NOT RINSE THE THERMOMETER BODY USING LIQUID.
Never use an abrasive cleanser or submerge the body
of the ear thermometer in water or other liquids.

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.
Average body temperature per age
Normal body temperature is different from person to
person. Knowing this temperature can be important for
® TM
future situations. Use your Physio Logic Quick-Scan
Thermometer to take a normal temperature reading
of you and each member of your family and write it
down in the chart for future reference.
