BACK LIGHT FOR READING IN THE DARK
The thermometer has a back light function. The back
light appears automatically when the unit is turned
on and remains alight until the unit is ready for taking
a measurement. The back light also appears when
the thermometer is switched between °C and °F, and
when the 10 stored measurements in the memory are
recalled.
To read the display in low light conditions, when the
measurement has finished being taken, press the
ON/OFF button and hold it down for more than one
second to turn on the back light. The back light will go
out when the ON/OFF button is released and the ear
thermometer turns off at the same time.
USING THE THERMOMETER
MODEL ACT8000
CARING FOR AND CLEANING YOUR THERMOMETER
To ensure that the thermometer measures accurately, it
is very important to keep the probe lens clean, dry and
undamaged. Cerumen (ear wax), fingerprints, dust, or other
soiling deposits reduce the opacity of the window resulting
in lower temperature readings. If, by mistake, the thermometer
is placed in the ear canal without a probe cover in place, the
lens should be cleaned immediately.
To clean the probe lens, gently wipe its surface with a cotton
swab slightly moistened with 70% alcohol or a suitable
medical wipe and immediately dry with a clean cotton swab.
After cleaning, allow approximately 6 minutes drying time.
Before using, make sure the probe lens is clean and dry.
Avoid touching the lens except when cleaning is required.
Note: Do not use any chemical other than an alcohol solution
to clean the probe lens.
To clean the thermometer, display and exterior, dispenser
and cradle base, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a
70% alcohol solution or a suitable medical wipe. Do not use
abrasive cleaners. Never submerge the thermometer in water
or any other liquid. Keep the thermometer and probe covers
in a dry location (the thermometer is not protected against
ingress of water). Keep them free from dust, contamination,
and away from direct sunlight. The ambient temperature
at the storage location should remain fairly constant ideally
within the range of 10 °C to 40 °C (50 °F to 104 °F).
