Status Screens
The thermometer performs an internal test at every start-up to verify that the system components are
functioning properly. It measures the ambient temperature. During start-up and measurement, the
thermometer screens communicate the current status.
Making a Temperature Measurement
WARNING
Inaccurate measurement results can be caused by:
incorrect application of the thermometer.
anatomical variations in the ear.
build up of earwax in the ear.
excessive patient movement during the measurement.
absent, defective or soiled probe covers.
probe covers other than the specified probe covers.
1 Ensure that the base station is connected via the appropriate cable to the connector on the
monitor.
2 Remove the thermometer from the base station.
The thermometer is latched to the base station to avoid an accidental fall when the base station is
moved. To pick up the thermometer from the base station move it slightly up and then lift it from
the base station to release the latch.
3 Press the eject key on the thermometer to discard any probe that may have been left on the
thermometer from a previous use.
