How to use the Alvita Infrared Ear Thermometer
To obtain accurate measurements, make sure a new, clean probe cover is attached to
the thermometer before each measurement and that the ear canal is clean.
Step 1
Attach the probe cover by rotating it clockwise to lock into position.
(Remove the probe cover by rotating it anti-clockwise to release).
The correct attachment of the probe cover ensures accurate temperature
measurements.
This thermometer must only be used with Alvita probe covers. Other covers can
lead to inaccurate measurements. Replacement Alvita probe covers can be
purchased from your local retailer.
Step 2
Press the grey “On/Off Memory” button. The thermometer is ready to use when the
ear icon flashes and two beeps sound.
When the device has been stored below 10°C (50°F) or above 40°C (104°F), place
it in the correct temperature range for at least 30 minutes before use.
Step 3
Gently pull the ear upwards and back to straighten the ear canal and snugly position the
probe into the ear canal.
The ear thermometer must be inserted
correctly into the ear to obtain the correct
temperature measurement.
This thermometer is only designed to measure
the ear temperature.
Do not use it in any other body site
Step 4
Press the blue “Temperature” button. A long beep will sound when the measurement
is complete.
For the next measurement, remove the used probe cover and attach a new one.
Replace the probe cover after use, to ensure an accurate measurement and avoid
cross contamination.
Only use Alvita probe covers.
Step 5
If the recorded temperature:
Is lower than 34°C (93.2°F)
The display will show “Lo”
(4 short beeps will sound)
Is between 34°C (93.2°F) and 37.5°C (99.5°F)
The display will show the temperature
1 long beep will sound)
Is higher than 37.5°C (99.5°F)
Fever Alarm:
The display will show the temperature flashing
(4 short beeps will sound)
Is higher than 42.2°C (108.0°F)
The display will show “Hi”
(4 short beeps will sound)
It is recommended that you take 3 measurements from the same ear. If the 3
measurements differ, select the highest temperature.
Step 6
The device will automatically shut off if unused for more than 1 minute, to maintain
the battery life. Alternatively press the grey “On/Off Memory” button for at least 3
seconds to turn the device off.
Step 7
The probe must be cleaned after use, according to the “Cleaning and Storage”
instructions, to avoid cross contamination.
