Thermometer Display and Controls
The tympanic thermometer has a liquid crystal display. The display shows the patient's temperature in
numerics and guides you with symbols through the measurement process.
1 Eject key
2 Change unit key: °Celsius / °Fahrenheit
3 Start measurement key
4 Pulse timer key
Functional Keys Description of Use
Press the eject key to eject the probe cover. The eject key symbol is shown on
the display when a measurement has been taken and transmitted.
Press the change unit key after a measurement to switch between °C and °F.
Press the start measurement key when you are ready to take a patient's
temperature.
The pulse timer key can be used to time vital signs you take manually.
Press and hold the pulse timer key to enter timer mode. Press the pulse timer key
again to start the timer.
The thermometer will issue a one beep at 15 seconds, two beeps at 30 seconds,
three beeps at 45 seconds, and four beeps at 60 seconds.
