they are different, use the highest reading.
6. Do not expose the thermometer to extreme temperature,
very high humidity, or direct sunlight.
7. Avoid extreme shock or dropping the device.
8. Before the measurement, patients and thermometer
should stay in steady state room condition for at least 30
minutes.
9. Avoid measuring temperature in 30 minutes after

instead.
15. There are no absolute body temperature standards.
Keep reliable records of your personal temperature to
serve as a reference for judging a fever.
16. Under any circumstances, the temperature taking result

Battery Installation
Low battery warning:
When 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” will be
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:
1. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to loosen battery cover
screw. Remove the battery cover.
2. Insert or replace 2 x 1.5 V AAA alkaline batteries into the
battery compartment, ensuring to match the indicated
polarity symbols. Always use new batteries.
3. Place the battery cover on the thermometer and tighten
the screw to secure it in place.
NOTE: Battery-operated
1. Please properly dispose of the batteries away from small
children and heat.
2. It is recommended to remove the batteries if the unit will
not be used for an extended period of time.
3. For long durations of non-operation, please remove all
batteries from the device.
4. Batteries must be disposed of in accordance with local
environmental and institutional policies.
5. Dispose of used batteries in accordance with the
applicable legal regulations. Never dispose of batteries
in the normal household waste.

Setting °C/°F and Date/Time
When the thermometer is used for the first time and each
time the batteries are changed, the date and time are
displayed in the format 1-1 00:00 during the basic set-up
(after the self test). Set each of the following settings in turn :
unit in which the temperature will be displayed, date and
time. To set the device, proceed in stages:
Unit – year – month – day – hours – minutes (there is no
voice output when setting date and time).
Press the SET button for 5 second to switch the
thermometer on. The device performs a brief self test: all
elements of the display are shown for approx. 1 second.
Following a successful self test, the device emits two short
beeps. In Standby mode, the date and time are shown and
“--” is displayed.

Tips for Measuring Human Temperature
Bear 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.
• Some people produce different readings in their left and
right ear. In order to record temperature changes,
always measure a person’s temperature in the same
ear.
• The ear thermometer may be used by children only
under adult supervision. Measurement is usually
possible over the age of 6 months. In infants under 6
months, the ear canal is still very narrow so the
temperature of the eardrum often cannot be recorded
and the result displayed is often too low.
• The measurement must not be taken in an ear affected
by inflammatory diseases (e.g. discharging pus or
secretion), after possible ear injuries (e.g. eardrum
damage) or in the healing period after operative
procedures. In all of these cases, please consult your
doctor.
• Use of the thermometer on different persons can be
inappropriate in the event of certain acute infectious
diseases because of the possible spread of germs
despite cleaning and disinfection. If you have any
doubts, please consult your doctor.
• This thermometer may only be used without a
disposable protective cover.
• If you have been lying on one ear for some time, the
temperature is slightly raised. Wait a little while or
measure in the other ear.
• As ear wax can affect the measurement, you should
clean the ear before measuring if necessary.
10
Measuring Body Temperature on the Forehead
NOTE:
The forehead/temples must be free from sweat and
cosmetics and that taking medication and skin irritations can
distort the result when measuring temperature on the
forehead.
1. Press the Forehead mode button or On botton for 1
second to switch the thermometer on. Following a
successful self test, the device emits two short beeps.
2. Place the measuring head with the Forehead/Cover cap
fitted on the temples, hold on the Forehead mode Button
and move the thermometer smoothly over the forehead
to the other temple.
3. Release the Forehead Scan Button. The end of the
measuring time is signaled with a short beep and the
measured value appears on the display.
11
Measuring Body Temperature in the Ear
1. Press the Power button for 1 second to switch the
thermometer on. Following a successful self test, the
device emits two short beeps.
2. Remove the cap by gently pushing it up (1) and then
pulling it off forwards (2).
3. Make sure that the sensor tip and also the ear canal are
clean. As the ear canal is slightly curved, you have to pull
the ear slightly up and backwards before inserting the
sensor tip. This is important so that the sensor tip can be
pointed directly at the eardrum.
Position thermometer probe
properly in ear canal:
• Under 1 year:
Have child lay flat with the head sideways, so that the ear is
facing upwards. Gently pull the ear straight back.
• 1 year +:
Stand behind and slightly to the side of the child/adult.
Gently pull the ear up and back to straighten the ear canal.
4. Insert the sensor tip carefully and press the Power button
for 1 second.
12
Measuring Body Temperature in the Ear
5. Release the button. The end of the measuring time is
signaled with a short beep and the measured value
appears on the display.
NOTE: Fever Alarm: Only in Human Mode
≧38°C: LED light Red
If the temperature measurement is 38°C or above,
meanwhile the backlight and alert light (RED) will light for 3
sec and then the voice pronouncing.

Measuring Object/Liquid Temperature
1. Press the Power button for 1 second to switch the
thermometer on. Following a successful self test, the
device emits two short beeps.
2. Then press the “Memory” and “SET” buttons
simultaneously for 3 seconds to switch to the “Object
Scan Mode ”.
The symbol appears in the display.
3. Point the sensor tip towards the object or liquid
(maintaining a distance of 3 cm), then take one press on
Forehead mode button or Ear mode button to take a
measurement (never immerse in liquids).
4. After the measurement process is complete, there
comes a short beep and the measured value appears on
the display.
5. Please note that the displayed temperature is the
measured and not the adapted surface temperature. It is
not the same as the temperature.
6. To switch back to the thermometer mode, press the
“Memory” and “SET” buttons simultaneously for 3
seconds until the “ ” symbol disappears and there is
a short beep.
14
Memory Function
You can recall up to 30 measurements plus an average of
all currently stored measurements in memory to share with
your physician or trained healthcare professional.
1. Press the “Memory” button. The first reading displayed
is the latest measurement stored in memory.
2. Continue to press the “Memory” button to view the next
previously stored measurement.
3. Automatically on the 31th measurement: when the 30
memories have been used up, any new measurement
will be recorded and the oldest memory deleted without
you having to do anything.
15
Care and Maintenance
• Probe and Tip:
Clean the probe and tip with an alcohol swab before and
after each measurement.
• Thermometer:
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean thermometer body. Never
use abrasive cleaning agents, thinners or benzene for
cleaning. Do not scratch the surface of the probe lens or
the display. Do not expose the thermometer to extreme
temperatures, humidity, direct sunlight, or shock.
