Features

•  The ear thermometer is simple and convenient to use with one  
  button operation.
•  Loading of a probe cover is not required before taking a 
  measurement, making the thermometer more user-friendly and  
  more cost-effective.
•  Measures temperature in one second.
•  Unique and slim design, following the contour of human’s palm for  
  easy handling.
•  Comes with a large LCD for easy reading.
•  Operated by two AAA batteries for easy replacement.
•  Auto-off function helps you to save energy in the batteries.
•  The ear thermometer is light and compact, allowing you to take  
  it everywhere.

Effectiveness

•  Compared to traditional thermometers, which require several 
  minutes to take the temperature, the ear thermometer takes only one  
  second to display the measurement.
•  It is safer to take the temperature in the ear, as there is no risk of  
  infection caused by contact with mucous membrane in the oral cavity 
  or the rectum as in conventional measurement.
•  Operating environment from 41°F-104°F(5°C-40°C) makes it easy for you 
  to take a measurement.

sound to signal completion of measurement. Remove the ear 

 

thermometer from the ear canal and check the reading on the 

 

display panel.

•  If you want to repeat the measurement, start measuring after it 
 

beeps (about 10 seconds after the last measurement) and the 

 

“ready to measure” sign “

” is displayed. You can repeat the 

 

process again from step 3 onwards.
