INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

•  Correct installation of the hygiene cover ensures accurate readings.

•  Using the thermometer without a hygiene cover may cause inaccurate readings.

•  Do not submerge the device in any liquids or expose it to direct moisture.

•  This thermometer is not intended as a substitute for a doctor’s consultation.

•  If the condition does not improve consult your doctor.

•  This is not an AP or APG product.

•  Intended use: The infrared ear thermometer can measure the infrared heat
  generated by eardrum area and surrounding tissues to reflect patient’s body temperature accurately.

•  Choking from swallowing hygiene covers and connection ring by children or pets is possible, please keep out of reach of children and pets.

FUNCTIONS

TEMPERATURE ALARM

• If the thermometer detects a body temperature 5°F (37.5°C), one long beep will sound followed by three short beeps to warn the user of potential fever.

SWITCHING BETWEEN FAHRENHEIT (°F) AND CELSIUS  (°C)

• In ‘Power off’ mode, press and hold the ‘Scan’
• Then press the ‘On/Mem’ button for 3 seconds whilst still holding the scan The ‘°C’ will change to ‘°F’. You can use the same process to change from ’°F’ back to ‘°C’.

MEMORY FUNCTION

• Press the ‘On/Mem’ button again to see the last temperature The thermometer will automatically save the last reading into the memory, if it is within the temperature range of 93.2°F to 108.0°F (34°C to 42.2°C).

INSTALLING THE HYGIENE COVER

Before first use, pull to remove the tab from the battery cover.
Correct installation of the hygiene cover ensures accurate readings. Always use a new and undamaged hygiene cover before each reading.

Push until it is secure. If the hygiene cover did not connect firmly, this icon     will be flashing on the LCD  screen. Remove the hygiene cover and re-install.

TAKING A READING

HANDY TIP Ensure the ear canal is clean.

1. Press ‘On/Mem’ button. The thermometer is ready for use when the ear icon stops flashing and two short beeps have sounded.
2. Gently pull the baby’s ear back, straightening the ear canal. Position the probe snugly into the ear canal, ensuring an accurate reading.

4.To measure the ear temperature, press the ‘Scan’ button until there is a long beep.

5. The LCD screen will light up automatically after pressing the scan button, and will automatically turn off after 5 seconds.

6. The temperature will show clearly on the LCD display.

7. To power off, hold down the ‘On/Mem’ button for approximately 5 seconds, until the LCD screen shows ‘o’. The thermometer will automatically shut down after 1 minute if it is however not turned off, helping prolong battery life. TIPS FOR TAKING AN ACCURATE READI

• Always use a new and undamaged hygiene cover before each reading.
•  It is recommended that you measure 3 times in the same ear. If the 3 readings are different, select the highest temperature.
•  There is no gender and age limitation for using infrared thermometers.
•  Holding the thermometer too long may cause a higher ambient temperature reading. This could make the body temperature reading lower than it actually is.

HOW TO INTERPRET YOUR READING

Understanding the meaning of your child’s temperature.

READING **MEANING**

96.3° – 99.4°F (>35.7° – 37.4°c)                    Acceptable

99.4° – 101.3°F (>37.4° – 38.5°c)                   Elevated

101.3° – 108.0°F (>38.5° – 42.2°c)                 Possible High Fever

REMEMBER if you are concerned about your child’s health you should see a doctor. Even in the absence of fever those who exhibit a normal temperature may still need to receive medical  attention.

CARE AND CLEANING

The probe is the most delicate part of the thermometer. When cleaning the lens handle with care to avoid damage. If device is accidentally used without a hygiene cover, clean the probe as follows:

1. Use a cotton swab (Alcohol 70% concentration) to clean the lens found inside the probe.
2. Allow the probe to fully dry for at least 1 minute.

• The thermometer should be stored at temperature between -20°C to +50°C.
• Keep the unit dry and away from any liquids and out of direct sunlight.
• The probe should not be submerged in any liquids.
•  If the thermometer is used according to the instructions, periodic re-adjustment is not required. If at any time you question the accuracy of the temperature readings please contact us.

NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered.

If the measured field strength in the location in which the Digital Ear Thermometer is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Digital Ear Thermometer should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the Digital Ear Thermometer.

RECOMMENDED SEPARATION DISTANCE BETWEEN PORTABLE AND MOBILE RF COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT AND THE DIGITAL EAR THERMOMETER
The digital ear thermometer is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment (for home healthcare) in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the digital ear thermometer can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the digital ear thermometer as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

Rated maximum output| Separation distance according to frequency of transmitter  m
---|---

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter   manufacturer.

NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
