7 Measuring
Before each use, please check that the lens is intact. If it is damaged, please contact your retailer or the service address.
Bear in mind that the thermometer needs to have been in the room in which the measurement is taken for at least
30 minutes before use.
Measuring body temperature in the ear
• 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 proce-
dures. In all of these cases, please consult your doctor.
• Use of the thermometer on dierent persons can be inappropriate 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 thermometer may only be used without a disposable protective cover.
• If you have been lying on one ear for some time, the temperature is slightly raised. Wait a little while or meas-
ure in the other ear.
• As ear wax can aect the measurement, you should clean the ear before measuring if necessary.
