HOW TO TAKE A TEMPERATURE READING
1. Always make sure that the waterproof probe has been
cleaned with a cotton swab moistened with rubbing
alcohol before each use.
2. Press and release the “SCAN” button. All display
symbols will appear for approximately one second
(Figure 2).
3. When the ear thermometer is ready, the display will next
show the results from the last reading.
4. Press and release the “SCAN” button again
with the ear
thermometer outside of the ear.
In DAY MODE: An arrow symbol will appear on the
display (Figure 7).
In NIGHT MODE: In addition to the arrow symbol, the
flashlight will turn on for approximately two seconds.
5. Insert the probe tip of the ear
thermometer into the ear canal
within two seconds (Figure 8). It is
important that the probe tip be well
positioned within the ear canal.
Measurement time for the actual
reading is approximately one
second.
6. A beep will indicate the end of the measurement.
Results of the temperature measurement will be
displayed. In NIGHT MODE, the display will illuminate
for five seconds, and the thermometer will not beep.
If a temperature reading
is greater than or equal
to 100˚ F (37.8° C), the
fever alarm will display a
frowning face and beep
twice to alert the user that it is likely that a fever is
present (Figure 9). A FEVER MAY BE PRESENT AT A
LOWER TEMPERATURE. For more information on the
Fever Alarm feature, please refer to the “What is the
Fever Alarm?” section of this manual (page 6).
