[. . . ] Note: According to extensive clinical studies, readings taken at the ear are comparable to readings taken orally by conventional thermometers. Only the sensor is water resistant, the device itself is not water resistant. The thermometer is only to be used for measuring the temperature of the human body. ⷠIncorrect operation and improper handling may cause problems with the appliance and/or injury to the user. [. . . ] ⷠDo not throw batteries away with your household rubbish!You should keep it away from extremes of temperature, humidity and direct sunlight. Avoid dropping or knocking the unit and protect it from dust. ⷠThe temple and ear thermometer is not suitable for rectal measurements. The accuracy of measurements may be limited by the following factors: increased sweat formation on the forehead, the intake of vasoconstrictive medication and skin irritation. The temple and ear thermometer is calibrated for ear temperature measurement at the manufacturer, inside the ear the sensor is protected against external temperature and consequently produces a more precise measurement. On the temple or forehead the skin is cooler, depending upon ambient temperature, i. In an extremely cool environment this deviation may be even greater. ⷠPlease remember that this does not replace a visit to your doctor. ⷠSelf-diagnosis and self-treatment using this measurement device are dangerous. Only a doctor can evaluate your measurements. The sensor (A) must be positioned in the ear canal in order to record the sustained heat of the eardrum (See fig. Remove the temple and ear thermometer in order to read the results on the display (fig. Measurements on the temple/forehead: Please note that the ambient temperature outside of the ear may influence the measurement result. Alternatively, you can also take a measurement from the temple or forehead. You can now read the result from the LCD display (E). Changing the display from °C / °F: This temple and ear thermometer can be altered from Celsius to Fahrenheit. ⷠHold down the On/Off button (D) and press the save button (C) briefly. Meaning of the face symbols: In the case of a result below 38 degrees Celsius a smiling face will appear on the LCD display (E), in contrast, a sad face is displayed at temperatures above 38 degrees, with 2 acoustic signals also heard. Saving measurements: The temple and ear thermometer automatically saves the last 10 measurements, numbered from 0 to 9. Repeated pressing of the memory button (C) enables the values from 0 to 9 to be accessed individually, on after another. ⷠIt is advisable to wait at least 5 seconds between individual measurements in order to ensure measuring accuracy. [. . . ] The tip must be entered deeply, otherwise measurements may be too low. Clean the sensor (A) with a soft damp cloth or cotton wool buds with alcohol solution. the result is outside of the measurement range · Switch the device on prior to inserting it in the ear or holding it to the temple. It is possible that the measured temperature lies outside of the range when you begin the measurement, before the sensor reaches the eardrum or temple. [. . . ]
