PRECAUTIONS (Intended Use)
-
The CTD504 is a clinical electronic thermometer that uses an infrared sensor to
detect the body temperature of people of any age from the auditory canal in a
home setting. -
Do not use the CTD504 as a replacement for medical advice. Consult your
doctor if you have any concerns. -
ONLY the CTD504 probe tip is waterproof. Do not immerse it in water or any other liquid.
-
Do not drop the CTD504, and avoid any strong impact.
-
Do not use the CTD504 on any body part other than your ear.
-
Do not move or shake your body while measuring.
-
Do not use for any purpose other than the intended use. The manufacturer is not
liable for misuse. -
The CTD504 can measure up to six times a day. To know your normal body
temperature range, we suggest you measure regularly. -
If any damage occurs to the sensor inside the probe tip or to the unit itself,
return the product to your local distributor. -
Keep the CTD504 away from children. Do not let them use the CTD504 on their
own. They may choke on the battery or tiny component parts by accident. -
Install a new CR2032 lithium battery when the power is low. Use of any other
battery may lead to inaccurate results or malfunction. -
Without regular recalibration, the results may not be accurate. Every CTD504 is
calibrated right after production. See “Warranty and Recalibration” for details. -
Keep the CTD504 away from sunlight and dusty places.
Important Notice:
The CTD504 does not require a probe cover during use. It is important to
clean and disinfect the CTD504 before and after each use. See “Cleaning and
Disinfection” for details.
For measurement:
- When asleep, pressure on the ear may cause higher-than-normal temperature. Wait a few minutes, and then measure again.
- Clean your external ear before measuring. To ensure an accurate result, keep your ear free from obstructions or excess earwax.
- The measuring results from the left and right ears may differ slightly. We recommend measuring in the same ear.
- Before measuring, the user and the CTD504 should be in a steady room temperature for at least 30 minutes. The user should also rest for 30 minutes after exercising.
HOW TO OPERATE
- Press the |/O button. The LCD screen displays all digital segments.
- If the CTD504 has saved past results, the LCD screen automatically displays the latest result.
3. When C or F fl ashes with a short beep, the CTD504 is ready to use.
- To improve accuracy, follow the illustrations below. For adults, pull the ear up and back. For infants and children, pull the ear back.
2. Fit the probe tip into the ear canal, and then press the START button. Release the button and wait a few seconds until you hear a long beep.
3. Take the CTD504 out of the ear canal. The LCD displays the latest measuring result. Without any operation, the CTD504 automatically shuts off after 1 minute.
Note: Before re-measurement, wait 1 – 3 minutes.
HOW TO SWITCH FROM C TO F
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
- BATTERY flashes: You can still measure, but the accuracy may not impaired.
- BATTERY lights or no reaction at all: Change the battery as soon as possible.
Note: Change the battery away from small children and any source of heat.
- Press the upper part of the battery cap to unlock it.Insert the tip of a tool into the gap at the side of the battery compartment. Remove the worn-out battery.
- Insert a new CR2032 lithium battery into the CTD504, according to the polarities in the figure. Push it firmly into place with a “click”, then replace the cap.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
The CTD504 does not require a probe cover during use. Clean and disinfect the
CTD504 before and after each use. If you wish to share the CTD504 with others,
follow the instructions below.
Preparation
- Cotton bud: Available in supermarkets.
- 70 % concentration alcohol swab: Available in supermarkets.
Note: Dispose of used cotton buds and alcohol swabs in accordance with local regulations.
Cleaning : Probe area
Use a clean cotton bud to wipe off any visible dirt or ear wax. Gently wipe
the area
clean.
Note: The most delicate and sensitive part of the CTD504 is the sensor
inside the
probe tip. Poking it with force may cause damage to the CTD504. When cleaning,
take extra care.
Hold the CTD504 facing down to prevent water getting into the CTD504. Use an
alcohol swab to clean the probe area in a circular motion for 15 seconds
(around 20
times).
DISINFECTION (Probe & Exterior Area)
- Hold the CTD504 facing down to prevent water getting into the CTD504. Use an alcohol swab to clean the probe area in a circular motion for 15 seconds (around 20 times).
- Then, use the same alcohol swab to wipe the exterior area back and forth for another 15 seconds (around 20 times).
- Wait at least 30 seconds until the CTD504 is completely dry.
Continue to set units on the next page, and start measuring. Repeat the steps above when measurement is done.
NOTE:
Do not use detergent or any strong chemicals on the CTD504.
FEVER ALERT
The CTD504 has a built-in “Fever Alert” feature. If you have a fever between
37.5 °C – 43.0 °C (99.5 °F – 109.4 °F), the “Fever Alert” function will inform
you by a fl ashing result, red LED backlight, and a series of beeps.
