Warning and safety notices

Cautions

Condition the thermometer at room temperature for 30 minutes before taking a reading.
Use a new probe cover with each and every measurement to avoid inaccurate readings. Without a probe cover, results will be at least 1°C higher.
This thermometer MUST be used with a probe cover. Using the product without a probe cover could = result in inaccurate readings.
The ‘ ‘ symbol on the display indicates the device is ready for use.
Do not scratch the probe membrane as this will affect the accuracy of measurements.
If the LCD does not change or respond when you press any of the buttons, remove the batteries and then replace to reset.
Please don’t use the thermometer if your ear canal has become inflamed. Do not force the thermometer into the ear canal. If pain occurs, stop using immediately.
Do not expose this thermometer to electric shock.
Do not expose the thermometer to sunlight or to water.
Do not use near strong electromagnetic fields, i.e. Keep it away from any radio systems and mobile phones
Do not modify this device without authorization of the manufacturer.
This device must always be kept in a clean, dry area
: Degree of protection against electric shock is Type BF applied part.
: Battery disposal should be completed in accordance with local regulations.

Note:

In order to avoid the spreading of germs, use a new probe cover for each measurement.
Check to ensure probe cover is fitted on firmly before use (please see the diagrams below). If the probe cover is broken, discard and apply a new one immediately.

How to use (°C displays for example)

Measuring human body temperature in the Ear Canal

Press the ‘on/recall’ button to turn on the thermometer. After the beep the thermometer will be ready to read when the LCD display matches Fig B.
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.Newborn-1 year 1 year – adult (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 (insert as deep as is comfortable, do not force, the probe into the ear canal). Press and immediately release the ‘SCAN’ button. Do not remove the thermometer from the ear until you hear the beep sound — this beep means that the measurement is complete. Remove the thermometer from the ear. The display shows the measured temperature
Repeat measurements: wait at least 1 minute between measurements. Ensure the Ear symbol is visible in the LCD. How to use (°C displays for example)
Memory search: Press the ‘on/recall’ button, the last ten memories (N0.9-N0.0) will take turns to display on the LCD as Fig C and Fig D.
The LCD will displays ‘Er 1’ 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.

Changing from Celsius to Fahrenheit

To switch the display between °C and °F, turn the unit on. Press and hold the on/recall button for 3 seconds, the display will show as Fig. F , the unit will prepare for a measurement.

Product disposal

Please ensure environmental protection. Batteries do not belong in the domestic waste. Please hand them in at collection point or the municipal recycle material centre as special waste. This symbol on products and/or accompanying documents means that consumed electronic products must not be mixed with conventional domestic waste. Take these products to the corresponding collection points for correct treatment and recycling, where they will be accepted free of charge. For more information on the close-set collection point, Please enquire with your local authorities.

Cleaning and Storage

Store thermometer and the Disposable probe covers 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 -10°C to 55°C.
Use an alcohol swab or cotton swab moistened with alcohol (70% lsopropy) to clean the thermometer casing and the measuring probe before each use. Ensure that no liquid enters the interior of the thermometer.
Never use abrasive cleaning agents, thinners or gasoline for cleaning and never immerse the instrument in water or other cleaning liquids. Take care not to scratch the surface of the probe membrane or display.

Replacing the batteries

When voltage of the batteries are low, the LCD will display ‘‘ symbol, please replace two new batteries in unit. The thermometer cannot work accurately under the condition of low voltage.
The thermometer is supplied with two 1.5V ALKALESCENCE BATTERIES (AAA). Insert new batteries when the low battery symbol appears on the LCD.
Remove the battery cover and take out the old batteries.
Place two new batteries according to the ‘+’ or ‘-
Please take out the batteries to avoid battery leaking if unit not used for over six months.
The disposal of the probe cover, battery and device shall comply with the local environment requirements. The lithium battery or fuel cell may lead to excessive temperatures, fire or explosion.
