 INSTALLING THE BATTERIES

Slide off the battery cover at the back of the thermometer and insert 2 x AAA batte-ries. Make sure that the batteries are inserted with the correct polarity as indicated in the battery compartment. Do not use batteries after their expiration date.
If the low battery indicator appears on the display after the thermometer is switched on, the batteries must be replaced. When battery power is critically low, the device will not take a reading. If you will not be using the device for an extended period of time, remove the batte-ries.

SETTINGS

Setting the temperature units
The thermometer reading can be displayed in degrees Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F). When the thermometer is turned off, remove the battery cover and select the unit of measurement using the switch between the batteries. Set the switch the up position for Celsius (°C) or to the down position for Fahrenheit (°F).

Sound settings
The reading can be accompanied by an audible signal. Follow the instructions below to turn the beep on or off.

1. Switch on the thermometer with the power/measurement button.
2. Press and hold the memory/sound button for about 2 seconds.
3. When turning on the sound, the thermometer will beep. When turning off the sound, the mute symbol will appear on the display.

Setting adult or child mode
The thermometer can measure temperature in adult or child mode, on the forehead or in the ear. Child mode is specially designed for children under 12 years of age.
Select the desired mode using the adult/child mode button. When the child mode is selected, the child symbol is shown on the display.

GUIDELINES FOR MEASURING TEMPERATURE

To ensure that the reading always shows your body temperature accurately, you must take into account the following factors that may affect the measurement.

1. I t is important to know the normal healthy temperature of each individual. This is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever. To determine normal temperature, take several temperature measurements when the individual is healthy. Measure the temperature with a standard digital thermometer to confirm.
2. Users must be indoors for 30 minutes before taking a reading. Note: Users and the thermometer should be in the same temperature environment for at least 10 mi-nutes before taking a reading.
3. Users should not drink, eat or be physically active before taking a reading, inc-luding bathing, showering, shampooing or drying their hair. Before each mea-surement, remove any head covering, remove hair from the forehead and wait 10 minutes.
4. Oils or cosmetics on the forehead may lead to a lower reading than the actual body temperature.
5. Keeping your hand on your forehead for any length of time will effect the reading.
6. Do not measure the temperature on scarred skin, open wounds or abrasions.
7. Do not measure the temperature on a sweaty forehead. The resulting reading may be distorted.
8. Do not take readings while breastfeeding or immediately after breastfeeding.
9. Do not use this thermometer outdoors.
10. Do not leave the thermometer near places that are very hot, such as fireplaces and stoves.
11. The thermometer sensor is the most sensitive part of the device. Do not touch the sensor. Reading accuracy may be affected if the sensor is damaged or dirty.
12. If the thermometer is stored in an environment with a significantly different tem-perature than where you will take the reading, keep it in the reading location for approximately 30 minutes before use.
13. I t is not intended for use in an oxygen-rich environment or in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixtures of air, oxygen or nitrogen dioxide.

TAKING A READING

The thermometer offers three temperature measurement modes.

   • I n ear mode, first remove the sensor cover. Then insert the sensor into the ear canal and press the power/measurement button.
   • Caution: Do not force the thermometer into the ear canal. The ear canal may get injured. Be careful when measuring the temperature of a child with a narrow ear canal.
   • In surface mode, point the thermometer at the centre of the object you want to measure at a distance of 1 to 2 cm and press the power/measurement button.
4. The reading will be displayed.
5. To extend battery life, the thermometer automatically shuts off when idle for more than 1 minute.

Colour and sound fever alert
The thermometer reading is accompanied by a colour and a sound when measuring on the forehead or in the ear.
When the temperature on the forehead or in the ear is between 35.0 °C/95.0°F and 37.5 °C/99.5°F, a long beep sounds and the indicator glows green, indicating that the body temperature is normal.When the forehead temperature is between 37.6°C/99.6°F and 42.2°C/108.0°F and the in-ear temperature is between 37.6°C/99.6°F and 42.0°C/107.6°F, 3 short double beeps sound and the indicator glows red. The body temperature is high. The person may have a fever.

DISPLAYING THE STORED READINGS

The thermometer can store 20 readings. When the memory capacity is exceeded, the oldest stored entry will be overwritten.
Follow the instructions below to display the measured values.

1. Turn on the thermometer.
2. Press the memory/sound button. The memory mode symbol – the letter „M“ appe-ars on the display.
