Functions
Ear temperature
This thermometer has been designed for everyday use. It’s not meant to replace
a visit to the doctor. Please also remember to compare the measurement results
to your regular body temperature.
Forehead Temperature
This thermometer has been designed for everyday use. It’s not meant to replace
a visit to the doctor. Please also remember to compare the measurement results
to your regular body temperature. Please consult with doctor if you have
health concerns.
Room temperature
Suitable ambient temperature is important for the baby and patient. The
thermometer always helps you recognize the room temperature.
Surface Mode
The surface mode shows the actual and undusted surface temperature which is
different from the body temperature. It can help you monitor if the object
temperature is suitable for the baby or patient, for example the baby’s milk.
Fever Indication
If the thermometer detects a body temperature above 37.5°C, there will be a
long beep followed by three short beeps to warn the user of potential fever.
Last Reading
When you get a new temperature reading in ear mode or forehead mode, the last
reading will be shown on the screen (in the top right corner) with the last
reading icon.
Memory Locations
There are a total of 25 memory sets for ear measurements. —When powered on,
press the “ON/MEM” button to see the temperatures stored with memory icon.
°C / °F Switch
In “Power Off” mode, press and hold the “SCAN” button, then press the ON/MEM
button for 3 seconds. The temperature icon “°C” will switch to “°F”. You can
also use the same process to change from °F to °C.
Mute mode
The buzzer setting defaults to on. You can toggle the buzzer on/off in mute
mode.With the power on, press and hold the “ON/MEM” button for 3 seconds. The
mute icon will flash on the display. Release the “ON/MEM” button to turn on

Installing/changing batteries
-
Open the battery cover: Make sure the thermometer is in ”forehead mode”. Insert a coin into the twist cover at the rear of the device
and twist it clockwise. The battery is located under the cover. -
Hold the device and flip the battery out with a small screwdriver.
-
Insert the new battery under the metal hook on the left side and press the right side of the battery down until you hear a click.
-

- Keep the positive (+) side up and the negative (-) side pointed down.
- Comply with local regulations for the disposal of used batteries.
Measurement
- Always make sure the probe is clean and undamaged.
- Power on: Press the “ON/MEM” button.
- Mode selection:
- Ear mode: Press the “ON/MEM” button, the default mode of thermometer is ear mode. The thermometer is can be used after you see the ear icon on the display and hear two beep sounds. In this mode, you can measure the body temperature by ear measurement.
- Forehead mode: After power on, press and hold the “ON/MEM” button, and press the “SCAN” button one time for forehead mode. The forehead icon will display and you will hear two beeps. In this mode, you can measure the body temperature by forehead measurement.
- Surface mode: After power on, press and hold the “ON/MEM” button, and press the “SCAN” button one time for surface mode The surface icon will display. In this mode, you can measure surface temperature of an object.
4. Measuring temperature:
Ear temperature measuring. Points for attention:
(1) Gently pull the ear back to straighten the ear canal and snugly position
the probe into the ear canal, aiming towards the membrane of the eardrum to
obtain an accurate reading.
(2) Press and hold the “SCAN” button until you hear a beep sound. Remove the
probe from the ear and read the temperature measurement on the LCD.
NOTES
- It is recommended that you measure 3 times with the same ear. If the 3 measurements are different, select the highest temperature.
- To avoid the risk of cross contamination, please clean the probe according to the “Care & Maintenance” section after each use.
- Temperature varies in healthy persons and different parts of the body can have differences between 0.2 to 1°C.
Forehead temperature measuring: Points for attention:
(1) The temporal artery, a major artery of the head, is connected to the heart
via the carotid artery. This thermometer is designed to measure the skin
surface around the temporal artery.
(2) Place the thermometer on the temple (see picture). (You can choose left or
right temple.)
(3) Press the “SCAN” button, and gently scan around the temple area. While
scanning, you will hear a beep sound, which indicates the newest measurement
is taking place. Measurement is complete when the forehead icon stops flashing
after a short beep. Measurement time may be between 5 ~ 8 seconds and up to 30
seconds) depending on how much time the device needs to get the correct
forehead temperature.
NOTE
This mode shows actual, unadjusted surface temperatures, which are different
from body temperature.
5. After measurement:
(1) Power off: Device will automatically shut off to extend battery life if
left idle for more than 1 minute. The device can only be powered off
automatically. (In surface mode, you can manually turn the power off by
pressing ON/MEM” button for 3 seconds.)
(2) Clean the probe after each use to ensure accurate readings and avoid cross

NOTES
- This thermometer has been designed for everyday use. It’s not meant to replace a visit to the doctor. Please also remember to compare the measurement result to your regular body temperature. Please consult with doctor if you have health concerns.
- Holding the thermometer too long may cause a higher ambient temperature reading of the probe. This could make the body temperature measurement lower than usual.
Troubleshooting
CAUTION
Do not open this device. If you cannot fix the problem using the
troubleshooting instructions, contact the dealer or customer service.
Care & Maintenance
- After measurement, please use a cotton swab with alcohol (70% concentration) to clean the lens (on the inside of the probe).

- The probe is the most delicate part of the thermometer. Use with care when cleaning the lens to avoid damage.
- Please check the device for damage if it is dropped. If you are unsure how to, please send the complete device to the nearest retailer for recalibration.
- Holding the thermometer too long may cause a higher ambient temperature reading of the probe. This could make body temperature measurement lower than usual.
Technical Data
- This thermometer converts the forehead/ear temperature and displays the “oral equivalent”.
- Comply with ASTM E1965-98, EN ISO 80601-2-56, IEC/EN60601-1-2(EMC), IEC/EN60601-1(Safety) standards, ISO10993, RoHS.
