Taking your Temperature

Before You Start

• This product is intended for household use only. lf you have questions about the meaning of a specific temperature, please consult your physician.
• Use the thermometer at room temperature between 60.8ºF – 104.0ºF (16ºC – 40ºC). lf the ear thermometer is stored in an environment where the temperature is out of that range, move the thermometer to a location with a room temperature of 60.8ºF – 104.0ºF (16ºC – 40ºC). Allow the thermometer to equalize to that temperature range before use.

DO NOT measure temperature if:

• Your ear is cold, wet or blocked with ear wax
• lt is within 30 minutes after eating, taking a bath or physical exercise
• You are suffering from an ear infection
• NOTE: Make sure the tip of the thermometer is clean. A dirty lens may cause an inaccurate measurement. Clean the lens with a soft, alcohol moistened cloth or cotton swab. Never use an abrasive cleaner. Never submerge the body of the thermometer in water or any other liquid.
• We recommend you practice with the A&D Medical ear thermometer on yourself and family members while you are healthy. This way you know how the thermometer works and will feel more confident of the measurements when you or a family member is ill.

How The Ear Thermometer Works

• The A&D Medical ear thermometer utilizes infrared thermo scanning principies to scan the temperature of the human eardrum. The eardrum is located beneath the surface and not easily influenced by the changing temperature in the environment.
• The A&D Medical ear thermometer is faster, safer and easier to use than traditional stick thermometers. lt scans the eardrum 512 times per second and displays the highest temperature detected. Measurements can even be taken while your child is sleeping.
• For adults, an ear thermometer offers fast, comfortable, accurate readings in seconds.

Why The Ear?

• Research indicates that the ear is an ideal site for taking body temperature. The eardrum shares blood vessels with the hypochalamus, the part of the brain that controls body temperature. Therefore, the ear is an accurate indicator of internal body temperature.

1. Press the Fronthead cover’s sides to remove it.
2. Press the Power/Scan button for one second consecutively. The system will perform a self-test, and all symbols will be displayed on the LCD for one second

4. Press the Power/Scan ” ” again. The symbol will appear beneath the last reading.
5. insert the probe into the ear canal. The probe must be inserted well into the ear to allow the probe tip to continuously sean the ear canal. This will ensure an accurate temperature measurement.
6. After one second a beep will sound indicating the reading is complete. Remove the thermometer from the ear to get the temperature reading.
7. A smiling face” ” will appear indicating a temperature reading lower than 38ºC (100.4ºF).
8. A sad face “ ” accompanied by one long and two short beeps will indicate a temperature of 38ºC (100.4ºF) or higher.
9. A “Lo” or a “Hi” symbol appears when the temperature measured is out of the measurement range.
10. The symbol “Err” appears if the operating temperature is not within 16ºC (60.8ºF) and 35ºC (95ºF).
11. To recall past readings, press the “M” button on the underside of the unit. The memory symbol and the set index appear at the top left side of the display.
12. To ensure a long battery life, this thermometer will automatically power off after one minute of non-use.

positioned properly in the ear. The tip of the thermometer must form a seal around the opening of the ear.
The waterproof lens is dirty. Clean the lens with a soft, alcohol moistened cotton swab.
Why is the reading taken in the right ear different from that taken in the left ear?| The temperature is roughly the same in both ears, but the values may differ because the shape and cleanliness of each ear is different. Also, the position of the thermometer can affect the reading.
Can I use this thermometer to measure an animal’s temperature?| No. This thermometer has been designed exclusively for human use. The UT-302 ear thermometer was programmed specifically for the human ear construction and human body temperature.
