1. Product overview
First of all, thank you for choosing the Beaba Ear and
Forehead thermometer.
It is a high-technology medical thermometer mainly
intended for measuring the temperature of the human
body via infra-red rays emitted by the surface of the skin
and by the ear-drum.
It may be used:
• to measure ear temperature on the ear-drum
• to measure the temperature on the forehead
• to measure ambient temperature
• to display the time
Readings are displayed almost immediately.
Practical and economical, its watertight probe is easy to
clean and does not require a probe hood.
Fast and reliable, it gives an accurate temperature
reading.
Simple to use: just remove the probe cover to change
from forehead reading to ear reading.
Caution:
Before first use please take off the plastic strip which
insure the battery protection. See picture bellow.
Do not throw the thermometer with household waste.
Use the collection systems available to you.

2. Usage precautions
• Your thermometer probe is watertight and may be
cleaned with a disinfectant wipe or cotton wool soaked in
alcohol.
• The body of the thermometer is not watertight; do not
place it in a liquid, use a clean, dry tissue.
• Do not expose the thermometer to extreme
temperatures for long periods, e.g. in the sun, in a car.
• Avoid violent impacts and do not drop the product
• Avoid direct contact between fingers and the tip of the
probe.
• Do not try to dismantle the thermometer
• The thermometer has been designed to be used without
a probe hood; it is pointless to use a probe hood.
• Keep the probe clean; grease and ear-wax can affect
the results of infra-red measurements.
• Do not take readings less than half an hour after a meal,
exercise, a bath or a period spent in a particularly hot or
cold environment.
• Leave an interval of at least 1 minute between readings,
otherwise slight variations may occur.
• An individual’s body temperature corresponds to an
average value. There is no absolute standard for body
temperature. The best way to proceed is to measure your
temperature during a normal period and use this average
reading as a benchmark against which to judge your
fever.
• When the ambient temperature is outside the optimum
operating temperature band of between 16°C and 40°C,
an error meassge “Err” appears (1).
