General information
Reading and storing the user
manual
This user manual accompanies this
ear and forehead thermometer (re-
ferred to below only as the “ther-
mometer”). It contains important
information about start-up and handling.
Before using the thermometer, read the user
manual carefully. This particularly applies to
the safety instructions. Failure to read this
user manual may result in severe injury or
damage to the thermometer.
Store the user manual for future use. If you
pass the thermometer on to third parties,
please be absolutely sure to include this user
manual.
Proper use
The thermometer is only designed for measur-
ing the temperature of the human body in the
ear or on the forehead as well as for measur-
ing the temperature of liquids (e.g. milk or wa-
ter) or surfaces. The thermometer is intended
only for domestic and private use/application,
but not for commercial use.
The user is the proper operator of the ther-
mometer. Only use the thermometer as de-
scribed in this user manual. Any other use is

deemed improper and may result in damage
to property or even personal injury.
The thermometer is not a children’s toy.
The manufacturer or vendor accepts no liabili-
ty for damage caused by improper or incorrect
use.
Application and function
The thermometer is an infrared temperature
measuring device that you can use to easily
and simply perform precise measurements of
the body temperature on the forehead or in
the ear or of liquids or surfaces. An acoustic
signal indicates that the temperature mea-
surement is complete; you can then read the
temperature that has been measured on the
LCD display. The device can save and display
data from the last 9 measurements of body
temperature taken on the forehead or in your
ear. The green or red illuminated display indi-
cates whether the measured body tempera-
ture is in the normal range (green) or whether
the body temperature is too high (red).
The flashlight function facilitates orientation
and use when it is dark.
No special training or knowledge is required to
use the thermometer.
The reference body site is core and the mode of
operation is adjusted mode.

− Do not engage in any other activity
when performing a measurement.
− If you are not sure how to use the
thermometer, you should consult your
physician before using it.
− Keep this user manual for the entire
service life of the product and include
it if you pass the thermometer on to
third parties. Make sure that the user
manual is also accessible to third
parties. The user manual is part of the
thermometer. When passing it on to
third parties, make sure they too are
aware of the risks associated with the

− This thermometer cannot serve as a
substitute for medical advice or treat-
ment! The measurements taken are
only for reference. If you experience
problems with your health, it is imper-
ative that you consult your physician.
− Do not touch the infrared sensor and
do not blow on it. Dirt on the infrared
sensor could result in inaccurate mea-
surement results.
− Do not attempt to measure your body
temperature in your ear if your ear is
inflamed or infected.
− Do not measure the temperature in
your ear if you suffer from an illness
affecting your ears or if there is still

the thermometer and persons whose
body temperature is being measured
should have been in the same environ-
ment for at least 30 minutes.
− Do not measure the temperature in your
ear if you suffer from a disease affecting
your ears or if there is still water in your
ear, e.g. from showering or swimming.
− Ear wax or a greasy forehead could
result in inaccurate measurements.
You should therefore clean your ear or
forehead before taking your tempera-
ture. Then wait approx. 5 – 10 minutes
before you perform a temperature
measurement.
− Repeat the measurements approx.
every 15 minutes if the readings are
unusually low or if you feel they are in-
accurate. If possible, use a conventional
clinical thermometer to take an oral or
rectal temperature reading for compari-
son. Ask your physician if in doubt.
− If possible, measure body tempera-
ture in the same ear as the tempera-
ture in the right or left ear may differ.
− If ear drops or other medications have
been administered in one ear, you
should measure your body tempera-
ture in the other ear.
Safety

Information about body
temperature
Body temperature refers to the internal tem-
perature of the body (core temperature). It
fluctuates over the course of the day and is
lowest in the morning and highest in the late
afternoon.
Normal body temperature is not reflected by a
fixed value, but a range of values.
Age Normal body
temperature
in °C
Normal body
temperature
in °C
0 to 2 years 36.4–38.0 °C 97.5–100.4 °F
3 to 10 years 36.1–37.8 °C 97.0–100 °F

over 65
years
35.8–37.5 °C 96.4–99.5 °F
The range for normal body temperature dif-
fers from person to persons and is affected by
numerous factors: Age, gender, time of day,
place and manner in which the temperature is
measured, level of activity, mood and effect of
medication and other factors. As a result, the
