Operating Instructions The clock function must be set when using the thermometer for the first time or when re-installing the battery. This step is critical to activating the ambient room temperature measurement function and to ensure the proper operation of the thermometer. (1) To set the clock, press the battery release button downwards to remove the battery cover from the thermometer. Next, press the time-setting button. This will make the hour digits blink.
How to switch from forehead scan mode to ear scan mode To switch from forehead scan mode to ear scan mode, simply take off the front cover. Alternatively, replace the front cover onto the thermometer when switching from forehead scan mode to ear scan mode. Taking temperature readings with the ear scan mode To take the temperature in the ear, first ensure the front cover is removed from the thermometer, next press the power/scan button.
Taking temperature readings with the forehead scan mode To take the body temperature using the forehead mode, first ensure the front cover is on the thermometer, next press the power/scan button. The screen will display in sequence the symbols of all segments, followed by the last temperature reading taken. Next, the thermometer will beep twice and enter into standby mode. It is now ready for use. Place the tip of the probe onto either side of your temples, while keeping the power/scan button pressed.
Notes: • A “Hi” symbol will appear when the temperature exceeds the measuring range. • The remark “Err” appears if the operating temperature is not within the permissible range. • Multiple readings should be at least 5 seconds apart to ensure precise temperature readings. • Once finished taking measurements, thermometer will automatically revert to clock/ambient room temperature mode. • Condition of skin and surrounding environment affect forehead temperature readings.

Care and cleaning Clean the uniquely-designed waterproof probe with a soft, alcohol-moistened cloth after each use.
Troubleshooting 1. Consistent low temperature readings: • The probe is not positioned properly in the ear canal. - The tip of the probe must be fully seated against the opening of the ear canal. Failure to properly position the probe may lead to a low temperature reading. • The waterproof lens is dirty. - Thoroughly clean the lens with a soft, alcoholmoistened cotton cloth. 2. Temperature taken is not within the measuring range. • Scanning sequences are not operated in the ear canal.
