Taking the ear temperature
Moving from one mode to the other
To move from Forehead T° mode to Ear T° mode, simply remove
the cover.
To move from Ear T° mode to Forehead T° mode, simply replace
the cover.
Taking the ear temperature
• Make sure that the probe cover has been removed.
• From Clock / Ambient T° mode, press once on
.
• The thermometer then displays all the symbols (4a) then the last
reading recorded (4b) then emits 2 “beeps”. It is now ready to take
a reading (4c).
• Place the probe in the ear of your choice.
• Press the button and keep it pressed down as you rotate the
probe inside the ear canal until the thermometer emits 1 “beep”
signifying the end of the reading (4d).
• The temperature recorded is then displayed for about 30 seconds.
• At the end of the 30 seconds the thermometer emits 1 “beep” and
displays “OFF” before returning to Clock / Ambient T° mode. (It
displays “OFF” and switches off if the clock has not been set).

Taking the
forehead
temperature
Taking the forehead temperature
We recommend that you wipe the forehead with a paper tissue or
piece of kitchen roll before taking the reading.
• Make sure that the probe cover is in the right position.
• From Clock / Ambient T° mode, press once on
• The thermometer then displays all the symbols (5a) then the last
reading recorded (5b) then emits 2 “beeps”. It is now ready to take
a reading (5c).
• Place the probe cover on a temple.
• Press the button and keep it pressed down throughout the
reading.
• Keeping the probe cover in contact with the skin, sweep it across
the forehead from one temple to the other for 2 or 3 seconds (5d).
• Release the button ; the thermometer emits 1 “beep” and the
temperature reading is displayed for about 30 seconds.
• At the end of the 30 seconds the thermometer emits 1 “beep” and
displays “OFF” before returning to Clock / Ambient T° mode. (It
displays “OFF” and switches off if the clock has not been set).
Note: The reading taken on the forehead is slightly less accurate that the ear
reading as it is more sensitive to perspiration, sebum, activity and ambient T°.
It nevertheless gives an excellent indication.
The reading taken on the forehead is identical in absolute terms to the one
taken in the ear.
In practice, for certain individuals and in certain circumstances, the reading
taken on the forehead may be 0.2 to 0.3 °C lower than the ear T°.
