- Under any circumstances, the temperature taking result is ONLY for reference. Before taking any medical action, please consult your doctor.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
Low battery warningWhen the battery power becomes low, the low battery symbol will appear on the display. The thermometer can still be used during this time, but the batteries should be replaced as soon as possible. If the batteries run out completely, “Lo” willbe displayed along with the low battery symbol. In this case, the batteries will need to be replaced before using the thermometer again.
Replacing the Battery
- Gently slide the battery cover back.
- Carefully remove the old batteries and properly discard.
- Insert new batteries (Two 1.5V alkaline AAA Size) according to the proper polarity.
- Slide the battery cover back on.
Note
- It is recommended to remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for an extended period of time.
- Please store batteries away from small children and heat.
- Do not use rechargeable batteries.
- Dispose of used batteries in accordance with the applicable legal regulations.
- Never dispose of batteries in the normal household waste.
PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION
DESCRIPTION OF LCD DISPLAY
SWITCHING BETWEEN CELCIUS OR FAHRENHEIT
Your thermometer can display results in either degrees Celsius (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit (°F).To switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit, while the unit is on press and hold both the Human/Object button and the Memory button for approximately 3 seconds. This will change the mode to either °C or °F. Once the thermometer beeps, at which time the mode has been changed and you may release the buttons.
Switching between 4 Kinds of Scan Mode
- Under power on status, you can press the Human/Object button to switch different scan mode. There are 4 kinds of mode which including human Object, Human/Night, and Object/Night mode (in order).
- The beep sounds will be closed when your choice in Human/Night mode, and Object/Night mode, and the Moon symbol will appears on the LCD in both night mode.
Note: Each press will comes with a beep sound to ensure the setting is activated. (Except both Night modes)
TIPS FOR MEASURING HUMAN TEMPERATUREBear in mind that the thermometer needs to have been in the room in which the measurement is taken for at least 30 minutes before use.
- Attempting to take temperature readings from sites on the body other than the forehead may produce inaccurate results.
- The patient should remain still while the reading is being taken.
- Infrared forehead temperature readings are equivalent to oral temperature readings. In all of these cases, please consult your doctor.
- Readings taken while asleep should not be compared directly to readings taken while awake, as body temperature while asleep is typically lower.
- Do not take body temperature readings within 30 minutes of being outdoors, exercising or bathing.
MEASURING HUMAN TEMPERATURE
- Press the Power button to turn the thermometer on. The unit will run a self-test and all symbols on the display will momentarily appear.
- Ensure that the thermometer is in Human mode; the Human symbol will be on the display. To alternate between modes press and release the Human/Object Mode button until you see the desired measurement symbol on the display.
- Press and hold the “Scan & measure button”, aiming the Measurement Sensor at the person’s forehead, holding the thermometer approximately 0.5~3 cm. But don’t touch the forehead.
- Release the “Scan & measure button”. In about a second, you will hear a short beep means this temperature reading has been completed and accompany with a back-light.
- If the temperature measurement is below 38°C, a “Smiling Face” will be appear next to the reading. If the reading is 38°C or above, a “Frowning Face” will be displayed and the RED LED light up.Fever Alarm – Only in Human Mode and Human/Night Mode
- After about 30 seconds after use, the thermometer will automatically beep and shut off.
MEASURING OBJECT TEMPERATURE
- Press the Power button to turn the thermometer on. All symbols on the display will momentarily appear.
- Ensure that the thermometer is in Object mode; the Object symbol will be on the display. To alternate between modes press and release the Human/Object Mode button until you see the desired measurement symbol on the display.
- Press and hold the “Scan & measure button”, aiming the Measurement Sensor at the object, holding the thermometer approximately 0.5~3 cm.
- Release the “Scan & measure button” and the temperature reading will be displayed.
- After about 30 seconds after use, the thermometer will automatically beep and shut off.
MEMORY FUNCTION
You can recall up to 30 stored measurements in memory to share with your doctor or trained healthcare professional.
Memory Recall button.
- When the device is on, press once briefly on the “MEM button”, then pass it again to show the last measurement accompanied by symbol.
- The symbol or symbol will appear with each measurement stored in memory to indicate whether a person or object temperature was taken.
- Each press of the same button recalls a previous measurement, so then all the way to . Continue to press the Memory Recall button button to view the next previously stored measurement.
- Any new measurement will be recorded and the oldest memory deleted without you having to do anything.
Memory Deletion
- Under power on status, you may keep press MEM Button for more than 3 seconds to delete all the readings.
- You will see “–” on display and “sound four short beeps”, that mean all the memories are cleared.
- Automatically on the 31th measurement: when the 30 memories have been used up, any new measurement will be recorded with and the oldest memory deleted without you having to do anything.
All the readings will be cleared no matter record in Human mode or Object mode.

Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of the Ear Thermometer, including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter.
Recommended separation distance. d=1.2 d=1.2 80 MHz to 800 MHZ d=2.3 800 MHz to 2,5 Ghz where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in meters (m). Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey,” should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range.” Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol: |
| NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people. |

| Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations from radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast can not be predicted theoretic call with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Ear Thermometer is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Ear Thermometer should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the Ear Thermometer. Over the frequency range 150kHz to 80MHz, field strengths should be less than [V1] V/m. |
