How to use

Measuring human body temperature in the Ear Canal.

Press the `on/recall’ button to turn on the thermometer, a beep sound is heard and the LCD displays as Fig. A in one second.

When the LCD displays as Fig. B , now ready to measure.
Straighten the ear canal by pulling the outer ear up and back to give a clear view of the eardrum.
– For children under 1 year, Pull the ear straight back.

– For children ages 1 year to adult, Pull the ear up and back. (Caution: Many pediatricians suggest use of ear thermometers for children older than 6 months.)
While pulling the outer ear, insert the probe snugly into the ear canal (best to insert deep), press the `scan’ button.
Release it when you hear a beep sound. A beep indicates measurement is complete. Remove the thermometer from the ear. The display show the measure temperature.
Measuring again: If measuring again, please unclinch the scan’ button and wait for the ‘ symbol to display, then press `scan’ button to measure again. Note: The time between each reading should be not less than 12 seconds otherwise there is not any change on the LCD.
Memory search: Press the `on/recall’ button, the last ten memories (NO.9-NO.0) will take turns to display on the LCD as Fig. C and Fig. D.
The LCD will displays ‘Er1’ as Fig. E and cannot displays temperature when the ambient temperature is out of the range of 16°C to 35°C.

Note: Before measuring, the thermometer shall be stabilized at the operating ambient condition for a minimum of 30 min.
Shut off: The thermometer shall automatically shut off without manipulating in one minute.

Cleaning and Storage

Store thermometer in a dry location free from dust and contamination and away from direct sunlight. The ambient temperature at the storage location should remain fairly constant and within the range of -25°C to 55°C.
