Rossmax RA600 User manual

To change the Unit from °C to °F:
1. Turn off the device.
2. Hold down the “Start” button, then press and
hold the“ON/OFF/Memory” button until the LCD
shows °C.
3. Press the “Start” to change the °C to °F, then
release the “Start” button.
4. During the setting adjustment, each old or new
temperature scale setting will be ashing for 6
seconds. After 6 seconds without changing, the
temperature scale adjustment will be completed,
and the unit will be entered into measurement
mode.
b. Replace the probe cover after each use to ensure an accurate
reading and avoid cross contamination.
c. This thermometer must only be used with rossmax probe
covers, other covers can lead to inaccuracy. If running out
of probe covers, please contact with the original seller or dis-
tributor for buying new probe covers.
4. Measuring the ear temperature: Use the index nger to trigger, by
pressing “Start” button, a long beep will be sounded when meas-
urement is done.
5. For the next measurement, remove the used probe cover and put
on a new one.
6. Power off: If left idle for more than 1 minute, device will automati-
cally shut off for extending battery life. Or press “On/Off/Memo-
ry” button for at least 3 seconds to turn the device off.
7. Fever alarm: When the measuring temperature is higher than 37.5
°C(93.2°F), the reading will ash, the backlight will be enabled, and
4 short beeps will be sounded. If measuring temperature is higher
than 42.2 °C(108°F), the display will show “Hi”, the backlight will
be enabled, and 4 short beeps will be sounded.
a. It is recommended that you measure 3 times with the same
ear within a short period of time. If the 3 consecutive meas-
urements are different, select the highest temperature.
b. To avoid the risk of cross contamination, please clean the probe
according to “Clean and Storage“ section after each use.

1. To achieve accurate readings, make sure a new, clean probe cover is
in place before each measurement and the ear canal is clean.
a. Install the probe cover by clockwise rotating then x it.
b. Remove the probe cover by anti-clockwise rotating then releas-
ing it.
2. Press the “On/Off/Memory” button, the thermometer is ready
for use after the ear icon is ashing, two beeps are sounded, and
three dash segments are appeared.
3. Gently pull the ear back to straighten the ear canal and snugly posi-
tion the probe into the ear canal, aiming towards the membrane of
the eardrum to obtain an accurate reading.
a. Before measurement, correct installation of the probe cover
ensures accurate measurement.
There are total 9 set memories for measurement records. If the read-
ing of the thermometers is within the normal temperature range of
34 °C to 42.2 °C (93.2 °F to 108°F ), when the measurement is done,
the measurement data is saved into memory.
• Press “On/Off/Memory” button to repeatedly to recall each tem-
perature memory.
• It means measurable and reminds to use a probe cover for
measurement.
• When battery icon always appears, please replace the battery.

Troubleshooting
EN
If you continuously obtain different measurement results, it is recom-
mended that you use Scanning Mode to measure.
Measuring the ear temperature: Use the index nger to trigger, press
and hold the “Start” button for 3 seconds to take measurement.
During the measuring process, gently pivoting the probe side-to-side
to view the entire ear canal or in order to nd the highest tempera-
ture. Release the “Start” button until hearing a long beep sound and
the measurement is completed.
Scanning Mode The probe is the most delicate part of the thermom-
eter. Use with care when cleaning the lens to avoid
damage.
1. Please use the cotton swab with the Alcohol to clean
the lens (on the inside of the probe).
2. Allow the probe to fully dry for at least 5 minutes.
a. Please check the device if it falls and damages. If you can’t
make sure of it, please send the complete device to the
nearest retailer for recalibration.
b. Keep the unit dry and away from any liquid and direct sun-
light. The probe should not be submerging into liquids.

1. Besides the oral temperature, the body temperature measured
by ear may be different from measurements taken by rectal or
axillary. Therefore, there is no any meaning to compare them.
Take the temperature periodically to nd out the normal ear
temperature reading , then use that reading as the basis for
comparison with any measurement taken when you suspect
a fever.

vertically and snugly inserted into the ear channel so as to get the
correct temperature reading.
21. Be sure to consult a doctor if you feel that your health is in poor
condition.
22. Do not judge your health only on the presence or absence of a
fever.

Recommended separation distance between portable and mobile RF communications equip-
ment and the RA600
The RA600 is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF
disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the RA600 can help prevent
electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and
mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the RA600 as recommended
below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended
separation distance d in metres (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to
the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the
transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency
range applies.
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation
is affected by absorption and reection from structures, objects and people.

d = 2,3 √P 800MHz to 2,5 GHz
Where P is the maximum output power rating
of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the
transmitter manufacturer and d is the recom-

Field strengths from xed RF transmitters, as
determined by an electromagnetic site survey, a
should be less than the compliance level in each
frequency range. b
Interference may occur in the vicinity of equip-
ment marked with the following symbol:
NOTE1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation

a. Field strengths from xed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cord-
less) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast
and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the elec-
tromagnetic environment due to xed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey
should be considered. If the measured eld strength in the location in which the
RA600 series is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the RA600
series should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating
the RA600 series.
b. Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, eld strengths should be less than
3 V/m.
