1. The right ear reading may differ from the reading taken at the
left ear. Therefore, always take the temperature in the same ear.
2. The ear must be free from obstructions or excess earwax buildup
to take an accurate reading.
3. External factors may influence ear temperatures such as:
●
lying on one ear or the other
●
their ears covered
●
exposed to very hot or very cold temperatures
●
recently swimming or bathing
In these cases, remove the individual from the situation and wait
20 minutes prior to taking a temperature.
4. For persons wearing hearing aids or ear plugs, remove the device
and wait 20 minutes prior to taking a temperature.
5. When using the thermometer on infants under age 1, pull the

6. When using the thermometer on individuals over the age of 1,
pull the ear back making sure the sensor faces the eardrum.
(See Figure 6)
7. Do not touch the probe window. A cotton swab and rubbing
alcohol may be used to clean the sensor window.
8. If the thermometer is stored in a significantly different
environment than testing location, place it in the testing
location for approximately 30 minutes prior to use.
9. It is not intended for use in the oxygen rich environment and
