from such a person as to how the device should be
used. Children have to be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the device.
 Do not expose the device to
- extreme temperatures,
- strong vibrations,
- heavy mechanical loads,
- direct sunlight.
Otherwise there is a danger that the device will be
damaged.
 Please note that the guarantee does not cover damage
caused by incorrect handling, non-compliance with the
operating instructions or interference with the device
by unauthorised individuals.
 Under no circumstances should you take the device
apart. Improper repairs may place the user in consider-
able danger. Repairs should only be carried out by
specialist personnel.
 Do not use the device if it is damaged. Otherwise

Safety
 Please consult a doctor if the thermometer indicates
that the body temperature measured is high. With this
measuring method, a fever is indicated if the tempera-
ture is above 38.0°C (100.4°F). The red LED 6is a
warning. Please take several measurements at intervals
of 0.5 to 1 hour in order to follow the progression of
the temperature. The values you measure will help
your doctor make a diagnosis.
 Do not use the temperature under extreme temperature
conditions and/or outdoors. This will result in inaccurate
measuring results. Please observe the details regarding
ambient and storage temperatures (see “Technical data”).
 The infrared sensor should not be touched directly or
blown on. This will result in inaccurate measuring results.
 Mobile telephones should not be used in the immediate
vicinity when the thermometer is being used. Otherwise
the consequence may be inaccurate measurement
results.
Safety instructions
 This appliance is solely intended for private use. That
is why it is not subject to mandatory verification.
 Do not continue to use the device if it is damaged or if
the measured values appear unrealistic to you. Consult
the section entitled “Functions/error analysis - problem-
solving” or contact our service centre.

Temperature measurements
Measuring room temperature (standard mode)
When you have finished setting the time and date and do
not carry out any further procedures, the device switches
to sleep mode after 1 minute in order to save the battery.
In the condition as supplied to the customer the sleep
mode is activated, as shown by the symbol, and the LC
display 5is completely switched off. When the sleep
mode is deactivated, the device remains switched on,
while the time and room temperature are still shown and
updated once a minute. The LC display 5shows
the time and date alternately (Illustration D).
Measuring body temperature (ear mode)
IMPORTANT! It is advisable to carry out 3 meas-
urements in a row on the same ear and to take the highest
temperature as the measured value. A new measurement
can be taken when the display “ ” goes out.

Operation
 Do not use the thermometer if pain occurs when the
measurement is being taken. This could damage the
ear canal.
 Do not use the thermometer with external ear disorders
(e.g. inflammation of the ear canal, injuries to the outer
ear). The condition of the affected areas could worsen.
 Do not use the thermometer straight after bathing or
swimming when the ear canal is wet. This could dam-
age the ear canal.
 Due to the risk of contamination of the measuring
head, clean the appliance after every use.
 In this mode, only measure the temperature in the ear
and at no other place on the body.
1. If the sleep mode has been activated, activate the
thermometer again by pressing any button before
taking the measurement.
2. Carefully press on the protective cap 9and remove
it with a gentle rotary motion and without using any
force.
3. Check that the measuring head 2and the measuring
sensors are clean.
4. Carefully clean the ear canal with a cotton bud.
5. Please pull the outer ear slightly in the direction of the
back of the head and diagonally upwards or backwards
so that the ear canal is freely accessible and there are
no obstacles between the infrared reception and the
ear drum.

8. The end of the measurement is indicated by means of
2 acoustic signals.
9. Now you can read off the measurement result on the
LC display 5. At the same time, one of the 3 LEDs
will come on.

Measuring the body temperature
(forehead mode)
IMPORTANT! It is advisable to carry out 3 meas-
urements in a row at the same place and to take the
highest temperature as the measured value.
 With different room temperatures, let the appliance
lie in the room where the temperature is to be taken
for at least 30 minutes to “acclimatise” it.
 Before measuring your body temperature, you should
relax for about 5 minutes.
 If you have done any physical activity or taken a
bath, wait for at least 30 minutes before taking a
measurement in order to get a measurement that is
as accurate as possible.
 Ensure that the forehead or temple is clean, free of
injuries and not covered with sweat, cosmetics or
ointment.
Take a note of what measurement method you used to
measure the temperature and inform your doctor of it.
1. If the sleep mode has been activated, activate the
thermometer again by pressing any button before
taking the measurement.

Operation
Note: The appliance automatically switches off if it is not
operated for longer than 1 minute. When the sleep mode
has been activated, the LC display 5switches itself off.
When the sleep mode has been deactivated, the appliance
switches to standard mode. If the thermometer has been
operated under normal conditions, the result of the last
measurement taken before the appliance was switched off
is stored. The measured value is available again along
with information on the date, time and measurement mode
when the “MEM/SET” button 1is pressed again. The
appliance has 9 storage spaces (see “Functions/error
analysis - the memory function”).
Use as a household thermometer (scan mode)
The thermometer can also be used in the house for
non-contact temperature measurements in the range of
–22.0°C-80.0°C (–7.6°F-176.0°F).
Attention! Do not use this mode for measuring
body temperature.
– With this measurement, the current surface temperature
of the object is displayed. It can be different from its
internal temperature, especially if the surface is exposed
to direct sunlight or a draught!
 Due to its design, the thermometer measures the precise
value when its casing has adjusted to room temperature.
That is why you should not hold it in the hand for a
long time when you want to take a measurement and
why you should keep it away from direct sunlight!

Operation
 Do not use the appliance immediately after cleaning
the measuring head 2. The evaporative cooling effect
of the detergent may falsify the measuring result.
Sample applications:

- The temperature of bathwater
1. If the sleep mode has been activated, activate the
thermometer again by pressing any button before
taking a measurement.
2. Carefully press on the protective cap 9and remove
it with a gentle rotary motion and without using any
force.
3. Make sure that the measuring head 2and the
measuring sensor are clean.
4. Press the “FOREHEAD” button 4and the “EAR”
button 3repeatedly at the same time until “Food”
is shown in the LC display 5(Illustration E).
5. Hold the measuring head at a distance of 1cm from
the liquid and/or surface whose temperature you
want to measure.
6. Press the “EAR” button 3to start the measurement.
7. Now you can read off the measurement result on the
LC display 5(Illustration E).
