Directions

Please read the full Instructions for Use provided with the product prior to using.
•Allow thermometer to rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature (10˚C – 40˚C)
•Test your temperature when you are well so you have a comparison when you are unwell
•Do not bathe, use a cold compress or exercise 30 minutes prior to the reading
•Remain in a stable environment for at least 5 minutes
•Make sure your ear canal is clean. Do not use when ear canal is wet
•Do not test the ear that you have been laying on
•Make sure you always use a clean probe cover with each use. Do not use without a probe cover
•When taking the measurement, gently pull your ear back to straighten the ear canal and snugly position the probe into the ear canal
•When measuring the temperature of an infant, note that infant body temperature is generally higher than adult body temperature and easily affected by external factors. For example, body temperature tends to increase after nursing or crying. Therefore, it is recommended to take measurements when the infant is calm
•Keep still during the measurement
•Take three measurements in the same ear, if they are different, select the highest temperature
•The reading will be stored automatically in the memory
•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
•Forehead and ear thermometer readings can be different due to one being an external reading and the other an internal reading
•Do not store the thermometer in a cold room
