When the measuring process is completed (after
about 1 second) the device will beep.
The measured temperature is indicated, the
symbol blinks for about 5 seconds and the
device beeps two times. The device is now ready

cated, if it is too low you will see ‘

cally. Only the

rements (memory function for up to nine readings

Fever alarm
The device has a ‘Fever Alarm’function. If the
body temperature is above 37.5 °C (99.5 °F) you
will first hear one long beep and then three short
