Using the Thermometer
Before each use, please check that the lens is intact, cleaned, if damaged, please contact your retailer or the service address. Bear in mind that the thermometer needs to have been in the room in which the measurement is taken for at least 30 minutes before use.
Measuring body temperature in the ear
• Some people produce different readings in their left and right ear. In order to record temperature changes, always measure a person’s temperature in both ears and use the higher reading.
• The ear thermometer may be used by children only under adult supervision. Measurement is usually possible over the age of 6 months. In infants under
6 months, the ear canal is still very narrow so the temperature of the eardrum often cannot be recorded and the result displayed is often too low.
• The measurement must not be taken in an ear affected by inflammatory diseases (e.g. discharging pus or secretion), after possible ear injuries (e.g. eardrum damage) or in the healing period after operative procedures. In all of these cases, please consult your health professional.
• Use of the thermometer on different persons can be inappropriate in the event of certain acute infectious diseases because of the possible spread of germs despite cleaning and disinfection. If you have any doubts, please consult your health professional.
• This thermometer should be used without a disposable protective cover.
• If you have been lying on one ear for some time, the temperature will be slightly higher in that ear.
• As ear wax can affect the measurement, you should clean the ear before measuring if required.

Using the Thermometer
Measuring body temperature in the ear
1. Press the EAR button for 1 second to switch the thermometer on. Following a successful self test, the device emits two short beeps.
2. Remove the cap by gently lifting the front of cap upwards (1) while simultaneously pulling it off forward (2).
2 1
3. Make sure that the sensor tip and also the ear canal are clean. As the ear canal is slightly curved, you have to pull the ear slightly up and backwards before inserting the sensor tip. This is important so that the sensor tip can be pointed directly at the eardrum.
4. Insert the sensor tip carefully and press the EAR button for 1 second.
5. Release the EAR button. The end of the measuring time is signaled with a short beep and the measured value appears on the display and is spoken.
10
Using the Thermometer
Measuring body temperature on the forehead
1. Please note that the forehead/temples must be free from sweat and cosmetics and that taking medication and skin irritations can distort the result when measuring temperature on the forehead.
2. Press the HEAD button for 1 second to switch the thermometer on. Following a successful self test, the device emits two short beeps.
3. Place the measuring head with the forehead/cover cap fitted on the temples, hold down the HEAD button and move the thermometer smoothly over the forehead to the other temple.
4. Then release the HEAD button. The end of the measuring time is signaled with a short beep and the measured value appears on the display and will be spoken.
Press Forehead thermometer mode button

Using the Thermometer
Measuring surface temperature
1. Press the EAR button for 1 second to switch the thermometer on. Following a successful self test, the device emits two short beeps.
2. Then press the “MEM” and EAR buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds to switch to the Object temperature mode. The symbol appears in the display.
3. Press and hold the EAR button or the HEAD button and point the sensor tip towards the object or liquid to be measured (never immerse in liquids), maintaining a distance of 3 cm.
4. Release the EAR button or the HEAD button. The end of the measuring time is signaled with a short beep and the measured value appears on the display and is spoken.
5. Please note that the displayed temperature is the measured and not the adapted surface temperature.
It is not the same as the forehead/ear temperature.
6. To switch back to the Ear/Forehead thermometer mode, press the “MEM” and EAR buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until the symbol disappears and there is a short beep. By switching the thermometer off and on again, it automatically exits the Object temperature mode.

When the battery symbol flashes" " and Lo appears in the display, the batteries must be replaced. If the batteries are too flat, then the thermometer will switch off automatically.
NOTE:
• When changing the batteries, use batteries of the same type, make and capacity.
• Always replace both batteries at the same time.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• Please use batteries free from heavy metals.
1. Loosen the screw on the battery compartment lid and pull the lid off downwards.
2. Remove the used batteries and insert two new (AAA) batteries in the direction indicated.
3. Place the battery compartment lid back on and screw it closed.
Dispose of used batteries in accordance with the applicable local regulations. Never dispose of batteries with your normal household waste.

Trouble-shooting
When a malfunction or incorrect temperature measurement occurs, an error message will appear as described below (comes with backlight and voice prompt).
LCD Display Cause
The temperature measured is higher than
1. Ear/Forehead
thermometer mode:
50°C (122.0°F)
2. Object temperature mode:
100°C (212.0°F)
The temperature measured is lower than
1. Ear/Forehead
thermometer mode:
10°C (50.0°F)
2. Object temperature mode:
0°C (32.0°F)
The operating temperature is not in the range from
16°C~35°C
(60.8°F~95°F)
Solution
Operate the thermometer only between the specified temperature ranges. If necessary, clean the sensor tip.
In the event of a repeated error message, contact your retailer or
Customer Services.
Operate the thermometer only between the specified temperature ranges.
When talking on:
Prompt: "measurement error, please try again”
