- 09 -
@nursalonline
Press the button to turn on the unit and a
beep is heard, remove the probe cover of the
thermometer. It will switch from
forehead mode to ear mode.
For children under 1 year old, pull the ear
gently backwards.
For children over 1 year to adult, pull the ear
gently backwards and upwards.
Insert the probe into the ear canal.
Pull the ear upwards and backwards so that
the middle of the ear is clearly visible.
For the temperature to be measured
accurately in the ear canal, the tip of the
probe must be directed towards the eardrum.
