Wait for the “ready” beep and place the probe snugly into the ear canal; correct probe placement is essential for accurate readings.

Press and release the Start Button. The thermometer will beep once. The green ExacTemp light above the Start Button flashes, indicating correct probe placement.

A long beep and a solid green ExacTemp light signals the end of an accurate measurement.

Eject the used probe cover. For the next measurement, put on a new, clean probe cover.

If the probe is placed incorrectly or was moved while taking a temperature, the device beeps, the green ExacTemp light goes out and POS (Position

Error) displays.

Press button to recall the last temperature.

To change default temperature scale: With the device off, press and hold the button for about

5 seconds. Release the button when desired scale is shown.

error messages and solutions

No probe cover is attached – Attach new, clean probe cover.

(POS = position error) The infrared monitor cannot find a temperature equilibrium and allows no measurement – Clear the display by changing the probe cover. Ensure that the positioning of the probe is correct and remains stable.

Ambient temperature is not within the allowed operating range 50-104 °F

(10-40 °C) or changing too rapidly – Allow the thermometer to remain for 30 minutes in a room where the temperature is between 50 and 104 °F / 10 and 40 °C.

System Error – Wait 1 minute until the thermometer turns off automatically, then turn on again. If error persists reset the thermometer by removing the batteries and putting them back in. If error still persists contact your Welch Allyn representative.

Battery is low, but thermometer will still operate correctly –

Insert new batteries.
