the ear thermometer needs to have been in the room in which

7.1 Measuring body temperature
WARNING
•
Some people produce dierent readings in their left and right
ear. In order to record temperature changes, always measure
a person's temperature in the same ear.
•
The ear thermometer may be used by children only under
adult supervision. Measurement is usually possible over the
age of 6 months. In infants under 6 months, the ear canal
is still very narrow so the temperature of the eardrum often
cannot be recorded and the result displayed is often too low.
•
The measurement must not be taken in an ear aected by
inflammatory diseases (e.g. discharging pus or secretion),
after possible ear injuries (e.g. eardrum damage) or in the
healing period after operative procedures. In all of these
cases, please consult your doctor.
•
Use of the ear thermometer on dierent persons can be in-
appropriate in the event of certain acute infectious diseases
because of the possible spread of germs despite cleaning
and disinfection. If you have any doubts, please consult
your doctor.
•
This ear thermometer may only be used with the protective
cap in place.
•
The following circumstances may influence the temperature
in the ear: if you have been lying on the ear for an extended
period, the ears are covered, the ears are exposed to exces-
sive heat/cold, or after swimming or bathing. In the event
of one of these circumstances, wait 20 minutes before per-
forming the measurement.
•
As ear wax can aect the measurement, you should clean
the ear before measuring if necessary.
1. Place a clean protective cap on to the
sensor tip of the ear thermometer.
2. Press the ON/OFF button to switch
on the ear thermometer. Three acoustic
signals sound and the display switch-
es on.
