digital ear thermometer
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

• Correct installation of the hygiene cover ensures accurate readings.
• Using the thermometer without a hygiene cover may cause inaccurate readings.
• Do not submerge the device in any liquids or expose it to direct moisture.
• This thermometer is not intended as a substitute for a doctor’s consultation.
• If the condition does not improve consult your doctor.
• This is not an AP or APG product.
• Intended use: The infrared ear thermometer can measure the infrared heat
 generatedbyeardrumareaandsurroundingtissuestoreectpatient’sbody
temperature accurately.
• Choking from swallowing hygiene covers and connection ring by children or pets
is possible, please keep out of reach of children and pets.
TEMPERATURE ALARM
• If the thermometer detects a body temperature 99.5°F (37.5°C), one long beep will
sound followed by three short beeps to warn the user of potential fever.
SWITCHING BETWEEN FAHRENHEIT (°F) AND CELSIUS (°C)
• In ‘Power off’ mode, press and hold the ‘Scan’ button.
• Then press the ‘On/Mem’ button for 3 seconds whilst still holding the scan button. The
‘°C’ will change to ‘°F’. You can use the same process to change from ’°F’ back to ‘°C’.
MEMORY FUNCTION
• Press the ‘On/Mem’ button again to see the last temperature stored. The thermometer
will automatically save the last reading into the memory, if it is within the temperature
range of 93.2°F to 108.0°F (34°C to 42.2°C).
Beforerstuse,pulltoremovethetabfromthebatterycover.
Correct installation of the hygiene cover ensures accurate readings. Always use a
new and undamaged hygiene cover before each reading.

Gently pull the baby’s ear
back, straightening the ear
canal. Position the probe
snugly into the ear canal,
ensuring an accurate reading.
The temperature will show
clearlyontheLCDdisplay.
HANDY TIP
Ensure the ear canal
is clean.

The probe is the most delicate part of the thermometer. When cleaning the lens handle
with care to avoid damage. If device is accidentally used without a hygiene cover, clean
the probe as follows:
1. Use a cotton swab (Alcohol 70% concentration) to clean the lens found inside the
probe.
2. Allow the probe to fully dry for at least 1 minute.
• The thermometer should be stored at temperature between -20°C to +50°C.
• Keep the unit dry and away from any liquids and out of direct sunlight.
• The probe should not be submerged in any liquids.
• If the thermometer is used according to the instructions, periodic re-adjustment is not
required. If at any time you question the accuracy of the temperature readings please
contact us.
Understanding the meaning of your child’s temperature.
READING MEANING
>96.3° - 99.4°F (>35.7° - 37.4°c) Acceptable
>99.4° - 101.3°F (>37.4° - 38.5°c) Elevated
>101.3° - 108.0°F (>38.5° - 42.2°c) Possible High Fever
REMEMBER if you are concerned about your child’s health you should see a
doctor. Even in the absence of fever those who exhibit a normal temperature
may still need to receive medical attention.
CARE AND CLEANINGCARE AND CLEANING
HOW TO INTERPRET YOUR READINGHOW TO INTERPRET YOUR READING
• Always use a new and undamaged hygiene cover before each reading.
• It is recommended that you measure 3 times in the same ear. If the 3 readings are
different, select the highest temperature.
• There is no gender and age limitation for using infrared thermometers.
• Holding the thermometer too long may cause a higher ambient temperature reading.
This could make the body temperature reading lower than it actually is.

RECOMMENDED SEPARATION DISTANCE BETWEEN PORTABLE AND MOBILE RF
COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT AND THE DIGITAL EAR THERMOMETER
The digital ear thermometer is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment (for home healthcare)
in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the digital ear thermometer
can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and
mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the digital ear thermometer 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 meters (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.
