How to Use the Thermometer
1 When Using Thermometer for the 1
st
Time:
• Open the battery compartment cover by sliding it to the small
end of the thermometer.
• Put 2 x AAA batteries into the battery compartment
in the
direction illustrated
inside the battery compartment.
• Replace the battery compartment cover.
• Turn on and use thermometer as described below.
Note: If the batteries have been inserted the wrong way, the thermometer
will not work and the handle might warm up, in which case immediately
remove the batteries (to prevent damaging the thermometer) and re-insert.
2 Switching Thermometer ON:
• The thermometer can be switched ON in all 3 temperature
modes - Forehead, Ear or Ambient (room or outside).
• Start by briefly pressing ‘On/Off/Take Temp’ button which turns
on the thermometer. All icons will display on the screen for 2
seconds followed by a short beep sound indicating that the
thermometer is now ready to use. The screen is also
automatically backlit for 10 seconds.
• Once ON, if the probe is IN (Fig. 5), the screen displays
the ambient temperature which is continued to be measured
until either the thermometer is turned OFF or the temperature
mode is changed.
• Once ON, if the probe is OUT (Fig. 6), the screen displays the
last ear or forehead temperature taken. Briefly pressing the
‘On/Off/Take Temp’ button now will measure ear or forehead
temperature.
3 Switching Thermometer OFF:
• If ON in ambient temperature mode, press the ‘On/Off/Take
Temp’ button - which will instantly sound an immediate short
beep - and hold it for 3 seconds until you hear a second short
beep and OFF appears on the screen.
• If ON in Ear or Forehead temperature mode, the thermometer
can not be switched off manually because it turns itself OFF
automatically after 30 seconds if left idle. This is a power save
feature. If you want to switch it OFF before 30 seconds, you can
switch to ambient temperature mode (see 6 on next page) and
repeat the above operation.
4 Measuring Ambient Temperature:
• If ON with the probe IN (Fig. 5), the thermometer is in Ambient
temperature mode as displayed on the screen by a House
icon. No further action is required as the temperature is
taken automatically and will automatically be re-taken every 4
minutes.
Note: Always keep the probe guard closed in Ambient temperature mode
to prevent a build up of dirt and dust on the probe.
