Instruction manual Infrared Thermometer iProven DMT-489
Thank you for choosing the iProvèn Dual Mode Digital Infrared Thermometer. With its unique technology, the Dual Mode Infrared Thermometer DMT-489 can be used for measuring the body temperature in two different ways. You can either measure the body temperature from the forehead by using the Head-mode or from the eardrum by using the Ear-mode. The Ear-mode can also be used to measure the ambient temperature. The Ear mode is suitable for children older than six months and adults. The Head mode is suitable for people of all ages.
To ensure accurate and stable measurements the thermometer performs a self-test every time it starts up.
The eardrum and the forehead radiate infrared heat. This thermometer accurately measures the body temperature as it scans the infrared heat radiated from the forehead and the ears.
Please read the instructions carefully in order to perform measurements in the most accurate way. Body temperature measurements will NOT be valid or accurate if they are not performed in accordance with the instructions given in this manual. Please keep these instructions handy for later reference.

Operating instructions
How to get accurate measurements
To ensure accurate measurements, follow these instructions:
- Please make sure that the temperature sensor is absolutely clean.
- Please make sure that the device is used in a closed room where there is no strong breeze or draft.
- Coverage of the forehead and the ears by hair or a hat will make the forehead and the ear warmer; therefore make sure that the forehead or the ear has not been covered during 5 minutes prior to the measurement.
- Please make sure the forehead is dry and clean before measurement to prevent the sensor from getting stained.
- Before measuring the ear temperature, please clean the ear canal.
- Please be aware that intense emotions and exertion before taking a measurement can affect the accuracy of the reading
- If the thermometer is transferred from one environmental condition to another that has a different ambient temperature, it is suggested to wait at least 30 minutes to get the thermometer adjust itself to the new conditions in order to get the most accurate reading.
- Do not hold the thermometer in your hands unnecessarily as it is highly sensitive to heat. Holding the unit for more than 3 minutes can result in inaccurate measurements.
How to use the Head-mode
To measure the body temperature from the forehead, follow these instructions:
- Point the thermometer sensor toward the temple.
- Keep some space between the sensor and the skin (approx. 1/4 inch, 0,5 cm).
- First measure your temple, then the spot between your eyebrows and then the other temple while holding the head button.
- Release the head button and take the thermometer off the forehead.
- Read the temperature from the screen.
How to use the Ear-mode
To measure the body temperature from the eardrum, follow these instructions:
- Take off the sensor cover to expose the sensor probe.
- Pull the ear backward and upward.
- Gently insert the sensor into the ear canal.
- Make sure the sensor points in the direction of the eardrum itself.
- Press the Ear button once.
- A beep indicates the measurement is successful.
- Read the temperature from the display.
The most accurate measurement will be obtained when the sensor probe has a direct view of the eardrum
Straighten the ear canal by tugging the ear upward and backward to get the most accurate measurement
To measure your own temperature, wrap your free hand around the back of your head and pull your ear upward and backward
Aged between 6 and 12 months Pull the ear backward
Aged 1 year and older Pull the ear upward and backward
Memory retrieval
Each time successful measurement is performed the measurement data is stored in the thermometer memory. The thermometer memory has a capacity of 20 sets of data.
To retrieve stored data sets follow these instructions:
- Make sure the thermometer is off. If it shows anything on the display, leave the buttons untouched for 10 seconds
- Press and hold the Ear-button for 4 seconds until the display shows “- - -M”.
- Press the Ear-button once to get the last measurement in the display
- Press the Ear-button once more to get to data set 2.
- The data consists of the measured temperature and the saved type of measurement as shown by the accompanying symbols.
- To shut down the thermometer press the Head-button once.
4.5 ˚C / ˚F switch
To switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit follow these instructions:
- Make sure the thermometer is off. If it shows anything on the display, leave the buttons untouched for 10 seconds.
- 2. Press and hold the Ear-button for 10 seconds until the display shows “- - -˚C” or “- - -˚F”.
- Release the Ear-button.
- Press the Ear-button once to switch from ˚C to ˚F or from ˚F to ˚C.
- Wait 5 seconds for the thermometer to save the setting and shut off.
Automatic power off
- If the buttons are left untouched for 10 seconds the thermometer will automatically shut down.
Measurement results
- Body temperatures between 36.0˚C and <37.6˚C or 96.8˚F and <99.7˚F are considered normal body temperatures.
- When normal body temperature is measured; one beep will sound and the display will light green. The measured temperature is shown on the display
- Body temperatures between 37.6˚C <42.2˚C or 99.7˚F <108˚F are considered fever. When the measurement is in this temperature range, the fever alarm will sound; 7 beeps will sound and the display will light red. The measured temperature is shown on the display.
Ear-mode/ Ambient temperature mode
- In Ear-mode/ Ambient temperature mode the temperature measurement range is 0.0˚C - 100.0˚C or 32˚F - 212˚F. After any successful measurement between 0.0˚C < 37.6˚C or 32˚F < 99.7˚F one beep will sound and the display will light green. When the measurement is between 37.6˚C and <100.0˚C or 99,7˚F <212˚F, the fever alarm will sound; 7 beeps will sound and the display will light red. The measured temperature is shown on the display
Head-mode
- In head-mode the temperature measurement range is 0.0˚C - 100.0˚C or 32˚F - 212˚F. After any measurement between 32˚C and < 37.6˚C or 89.6˚F and < 99.7˚F one beep will sound and the display will light green. When the measurement is between 37.6˚C and < 42.2˚ or 99.7˚F and <108˚F, the fever alarm will sound; 7 beeps will sound and the display will light red. The measured temperature is shown on the display
Out-of-range temperatures
- Temperature measurements that are outside the measurement ranges will result in error codes L˚ or H˚ on the display, accompanied by three beeps and the display lighting red for three seconds.
- “ L˚ ”: Measurement is below 32.0˚C or 89.6˚F in Head-mode or below 0.0˚C or 32˚F in Ear-mode/ Ambient temperature mode. Please make sure you are following the instructions on how to get accurate measurements.
- “ H˚ “: Measurement is exceeding 42.2˚C or 108˚F in Head-mode or over 100.0˚C or 212˚F in Ear-mode / Ambient temperature mode. Please make sure you are following the instructions on how to get accurate measurements.
Cleaning
- Regularly clean the thermometer with a damp cloth.
- Do not use alcohol or benzine for cleaning.
- Prevent the sensor from getting stained by cleaning the ears before using the Ear-mode
- Prevent the sensor from getting stained by cleaning and drying before using the Head-mode
- Caution: This thermometer is not waterproof! Do not expose this thermometer to water or any other liquid.
Storage
- Store this thermometer at room temperature; the most accurate temperature measurement is obtained when the thermometer has been exposed to the same ambient temperature as the user for at least 30 minutes.
