Using the Thermometer
Before each use, please check that the lens is intact,
cleaned, if damaged, please contact your retailer or the
service address. Bear in mind that the thermometer
needs to have been in the room in which the
measurement is taken for at least 30 minutes before
use.
Measuring body temperature in the ear
• Some people produce different readings in their left
and right ear. In order to record temperature
changes, always measure a person’s temperature
in both ears and use the higher reading.
• The ear thermometer may be used by children only
under adult supervision. Measurement is usually
possible over the age of 6 months. In infants under
6 months, the ear canal is still very narrow so the
temperature of the eardrum often cannot be
recorded and the result displayed is often too low.
• The measurement must not be taken in an ear
affected by inflammatory diseases (e.g.
discharging pus or secretion), after possible ear
injuries (e.g. eardrum damage) or in the healing
period after operative procedures. In all of these
cases, please consult your health professional.
• Use of the thermometer on different persons can be
inappropriate in the event of certain acute
infectious diseases because of the possible spread
of germs despite cleaning and disinfection. If you
have any doubts, please consult your health
professional.
• This thermometer should be used without a
disposable protective cover.
• If you have been lying on one ear for some time, the
temperature will be slightly higher in that ear.
• As ear wax can affect the measurement, you should
clean the ear before measuring if required.

Measuring body temperature in the ear
1. Press the EAR button for 1 second to switch the
thermometer on. Following a successful self test, the
device emits two short beeps.
2. Remove the cap by gently
lifting the front of cap
upwards (1) while
simultaneously pulling it off
forward (2).
3. Make sure that the sensor tip and also the ear canal
are clean. As the ear canal is slightly curved, you
have to pull the ear slightly up and backwards before
inserting the sensor tip. This is important so that the
sensor tip can be pointed directly at the eardrum.
4. Insert the sensor tip carefully and press the EAR
button for 1 second.
5. Release the EAR button. The end of the measuring
time is signaled with a short beep and the measured
value appears on the display and is spoken.

Measuring body temperature on the forehead
1. Please note that the forehead/temples must be free
from sweat and cosmetics and that taking medication
and skin irritations can distort the result when
measuring temperature on the forehead.
2. Press the HEAD button for 1 second to switch the
thermometer on. Following a successful self test, the
device emits two short beeps.
3. Place the measuring head with the forehead/cover
cap fitted on the temples, hold down the HEAD
button and move the thermometer smoothly over the
forehead to the other temple.
4. Then release the HEAD button. The end of the
measuring time is signaled with a short beep and the
measured value appears on the display and will be
spoken.

Measuring surface temperature
1. Press the EAR button for 1 second to switch the
thermometer on. Following a successful self test, the
device emits two short beeps.
2. Then press the “MEM” and EAR buttons
simultaneously for 3 seconds to switch to the Object
temperature mode. The symbol appears in the
display.
3. Press and hold the EAR button or the HEAD button
and point the sensor tip towards the object or liquid
to be measured (never immerse in liquids),
maintaining a distance of 3 cm.
4. Release the EAR button or the HEAD button. The
end of the measuring time is signaled with a short
beep and the measured value appears on the display
and is spoken.
5. Please note that the displayed temperature is the
measured and not the adapted surface temperature.
It is not the same as the forehead/ear temperature.
6. To switch back to the Ear/Forehead thermometer
mode, press the “MEM” and EAR buttons
simultaneously for 3 seconds until the symbol
disappears and there is a short beep. By switching
the thermometer off and on again, it automatically
exits the Object temperature mode.

When the batteries get weak, the battery
warning symbol appears" ". It is still
possible to measure temperature. The
batteries must be replaced. When the
battery symbol flashes" " and Lo
appears in the display, the batteries must
be replaced. If the batteries are too flat,
then the thermometer will switch off
