Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Omron
®
Instant Ear Thermometer.
Please read carefully this instruction manual completely before using
the thermometer.
This ear thermometer offers a safe, accurate and quick temperature reading
from the ear canal. This thermometer senses the infrared heat from the
eardrum (tympanic membrane).
No need to worry about broken glass or mercury hazards.
An ear temperature is not affected by talking, eating or drinking. These factors
do affect an oral temperature.
In one second, it changes the heat measured into an equivalent oral temperature.
The unit is easy to use for children and adults. Temperatures can be taken
when a child is sleeping.
We recommend you practice taking a temperature with the Omron
®
Instant
Thermometer on each member of your family when they are healthy. This way
you will be confident in your technique when using the ear thermometer
on a sick family member.
The Omron
®
Instant Ear Thermometer has been clinically tested and proven
to be safe and accurate when used in accordance with this operating
instruction manual.
Contact your Healthcare Provider if you have any questions regarding
specific temperatures.
