The shape of the thermometer prevents it from being inserted too far into the ear canal to damage the eardrum. However, as with any thermometer, proper technique is critical to obtaining accurate temperatures. [. . . ] In these cases, remove the individual from the situation and wait 20 minutes prior to taking a temperature. 8 Memory mode The last temperature taken before the thermometer powers down is stored in memory. To enter the memory mode, press the /mem button. Even in memory mode, a new temperature can be taken provided that the ready symbol is shown. IRT 3020 The last stored temperature is displayed along with the MEM symbol. To quit the memory mode, press the /mem button again. IRT 3520 This model allows you to store up to 8 temperatures. When pressing the /mem button, the display shows the memory cell number (e. g. When releasing the /mem button, the stored temperature is displayed. Each time the /mem button is pressed, a new memory cell is displayed (up to MEM 8). An empty memory cell shows «- - - °F». Only the first empty memory cell will be displayed. To quit the memory mode, press the /mem button again after reaching MEM 8 or «- - - °F». Memory clear Press the /mem button for 5 seconds to clear the temperatures stored in memory. Release the /mem button to return to the ready symbol . LCD light (model IRT 3520 only) For easy nighttime reading. 9 Changing the temperature scale This thermometer is shipped with the Fahrenheit temperature scale activated. If you wish to switch to Celsius (°C), proceed as follows: · Turn on the thermometer. (If it is already turned on, make sure it is not in memory mode. ) · Press the /mem button and keep it pressed. Then press and release the activation button to switch over to the «change temperature scale» mode. · By pressing the activation button again, the Celsius scale is activated, «°C» is displayed on the LCD. Each further pressing of the activation button toggles the scale between °C and °F. IRT 3020 · Release the /mem button to return to the ready symbol .
