ZEAL
THE GOLD STANDARD SINCE 1888
TAKING A MEASUREMENT
Gently insert the probe into the ear canal and press the
“SCAN” button while keeping the probe snugly in place.
If the probe has been correctly inserted into the ear canal
for the full measuring cycle, an audible beep will signal
the end of the measuring process. At the same time the
Measurement Indicator Light will illuminate for
approximately 1 second. The thermometer senses that
an accurate measurement has been taken and shows the
result on the LCD display.
To ensure an accurate reading, gently pull the ear back
to straighten the ear canal and snugly position the
probe into the ear canal, aiming towards the membrane
of the eardrum.
For children over 3 months and under 2 years old:
> Pull the ear straight back.
For children over 2 years old and adults:
> Pull the ear straight up and back.
The Zeal tympanic thermometer turns off automatically
after about 60 seconds of non use. It can also be turned
off manually by pressing the ON/OFF button.
TURNING THE THERMOMETER OFF
USING THE THERMOMETER
MODEL ACT8000
The thermometer automatically stores the last 10
measurements taken into its memory. The latest
temperature taken is displayed first when recalled from
the memory. To recall a temperature from the memory,
turn the thermometer off, then press and hold down the
ON/OFF button for approximately 2 seconds. A flashing
‘01’ will appear with a small ‘M’ at the lower right of the
display. The temperature value of this memory is shown
on the display for 2 seconds. If the ON/OFF button is
pressed again before the 2 seconds are up, the next
memory ‘02’ temperature is displayed. Repeat this process
to see all of the 10 stored temperatures; otherwise the
thermometer returns to the normal measuring mode.
Remember that the latest measurements taken are
displayed first when recalled from the memory.
CHANGING DISPLAY FROM °C TO °F
Your Zeal thermometer can display in either degrees
Celsius (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit (°F). It is preset to
display Celsius (°C).
To switch to Fahrenheit, press the ON/OFF button twice,
one right after another. Hold the second press down for
about 2 seconds until the symbol “°F” (or “°C”) appears,
with a beep, on the display. Releasing the on/off button
returns the thermometer to the measuring mode. Repeat
the procedure to change back to Celsius.
