TH859S Ear-Type Thermometer
Thank you for purchasing the thermometer. This thermometer is
designed with an advanced infrared and ambient temperature
compensation technology for instantaneous self-diagnosis and
accurate temperature measurements. Do not use this device for
Live & Dead decision or Safety related applications.
Please
consult with doctor if you have health concerns.
Operating Instructions:
NOTE
：
The device must stay in stable ambient (room)
temperature for 15 minutes before operating.
1.
Gently squeeze the opposite ends of the thermometer to pull
off the probe cap. Do not use force to remove the cap.
2.
Always use a new and undamaged probe cover.
Make sure the ear canal is clean.
Warning: Choking from swallowing small parts and batteries by children or pets is possible, please keep small
parts and batteries at places where children and pets can’t reach.
3. Install Probe Cover
1) Place a new probe cover on the connection ring. (See Figure 1)
NOTE
：
Make sure to place the “Adhesive Side” of probe cover “Upward.”
2) Align the probe with the center of probe cover. Insert the probe into the probe cover on the connection ring.
(See Figure 2)
3) Push the connection ring until the “Click” sound. This means the probe cover has been installed successfully.
NOTE
：
If the probe cover did not connect firmly,
the “ ” icon will flash
on the LCD screen. Please check the setting of the probe cover again.
Proper installation of the probe cover and using the specific probe cover ensure accurate measurements.
4. Press “ON/MEM” button to power on. The thermometer is ready for use after the ear icon stop flashing and two short beep
sound.
5. Gently pull the ear back to straighten the ear canal and snugly position the
probe into the ear canal, aiming towards the membrane of the eardrum to obtain
an accurate reading. ( Fig.4-1)
6. Measuring the ear temperature
：
Use the index finger to trigger. Press the “Scan”
button until you hear a long beep. ( Fig.4-2 ).
7. Power of
f
：
This device will automatically shut down after 1 minute pending
to extend battery life.
NOTE
：
a. Before the measurement, please stay in a stable environment for 5mins and avoid the exercise, bath for 30mins.
b. It is recommended that you measure 3 times with the same ear. If the 3 measurements are different, select the
highest temperature.
c. To avoid the risk of cross contamination, please clean the probe according to “Cleaning and Storage” section after
each use.
d. The "Clinical Bias” is -0.2 ~ -0.4°C.
e. The "Limits of Agreement” is 0.58.
f. The "Repeatability” is 0.17°C.
Fever Alarm:
If the thermometer detects a body temperature
≧
37.5°C (or 99.5°F), three short beep sound will follow one long beep sound to
warn the user for potential fever.
Switching between Fahrenheit(°F) and Celsius(°C):
In “Power Off” mode, press and hold the “SCAN” button, then press the “ON/MEM” button for 3 seconds, icon “°C” will be switched
to icon “°F”. You can also use the same process to change the LCD display from °F to °C.
Memory Function:
When in power on, press the “ON/MEM” button to see the temperature stored. The thermometer provides 9 sets
memory for the body temperature.
Cleaning and Storage:
The probe is the most delicate part of the thermometer. Use with care when cleaning the lens to avoid damage.
Storage temperature Range: It should be stored at room temperature between -20~+50°C, RH
≦
85%
Keep the unit dry and away from any liquids and direct sunlight.
The Probe should not submerge into any liquids.
** If device is accidentally used without probe cover, clean the probe as follows:
a. Please use the cotton swab with Alcohol (70% concentration) to clean the lens( on the inside of the probe).
b. Allow the probe to fully dry for at least 1 minute.
NOTE
：
Please check the device if damaged once it falls. If you can’t make sure of it, please send the complete device to the nearest
retailer for recalibration.
Holding the thermometer too long may cause a higher ambient temperature reading of the probe.
This could make the body temperature measurement lower than usual.
Changing the Battery:
This device is supplied with one lithium cell (CR2032 x 1).
