the measured temperature.
IMPORTANT: 10 short beeps will sound when the temperature is
higher than 37.5°C in order to alert the patient that he/she may
have fever.
7. Replace the probe cover after each measurement. To do this,
please follow the instruction in point 6 „HOW TO RELOAD A
NEW AND CLEAN PROBE COVER?“.
8. In order to assure the accurate readings, please wait at least 30
seconds after 3-5 continuous measurements.
ADVICES FOR A CORRECT MEASUREMENT
• For an infant, it is best to have the child laying flat with his head
sideways so the ear is facing upwards. For an older child or
adult, it is best to stand behind and slightly to the side of the
patient.
• Always take the temperature in the same ear, since the temperatu-
re readings may be different from the right ear and left ear.
• Please wait for a few minutes to take the ear temperature after
sleeping.
• Take three temperatures in the same ear and consider the highest
one taken as the reading.
