Infrared Tympanic Electronic Thermometer
If the display shows a system error 4 and the system error icon, the ambient conditions are changing too rapidly
for the device to be used. Allow the device to equilibrate for 20 minutes before using.
If the display shows any other system error, then reset the thermometer by installing a probe cover. If the system
error does not clear, then contact the factory for available service options. The applicable manufacturer addresses
are located in Section XII, Customer Service.
Biotech Mode
The biotech function is used to select the operational mode of the thermometer and to verify the installed software
version. All operational mode settings in biotech mode are stored in nonvolatile memory and retained through
system power cycles, such as changing batteries. All factory calibration parameters are also stored in nonvolatile
memory.
The factory default settings are shown below:
Temperature mode
°C (unlocked)
Site mode
Ear
Site text
On
The biotech mode is accessed by pressing and holding the timer and °C/°F buttons for four seconds. All LCD
segments will light for one second, the thermometer will issue a single beep, and the display will show scrolling
dashes. Pressing the timer button cycles through the biotech modes. When options are available within a mode,
the °C/°F button cycles through the options.
Pressing the timer button after the site text display will return the user to the installed software version. To exit
biotech mode, two options are available: (1) press and hold the °C/°F and timer buttons for one second, or (2) the
device will automatically exit biotech mode after about 30 seconds of inactivity. Any changes are saved.
The biotech mode sequence is shown below:
