measurement at any time, contact the Consumer
Care Center in your country.
Do not attempt to modify or reassemble the device.
The expected service life of the thermometer is
2 years.
5 Press the power button to start the
measurement. (Fig. 12)
- When the measurement is done, you hear
2 beeps.
6 Remove the probe tip from the ear canal (Fig.
13).
- The display shows the measured
temperature. The temperature light ring
around the power button may light up red,
depending on the measurement result.
Note: The temperature display on the device
shows the measurement result for 30 seconds or
until you perform a new measurement.
Note: The thermometer is equipped with a thermal
sensor located in the tip of the device. Immediately
after a measurement the device needs a short time
(approx. 6 seconds) to stabilize the thermal sensor
to ensure the accuracy of the next measurement.
Within these 6 seconds a measurement cannot be
taken. The backlight of the device will switch o
as soon as the thermometer is ready to do a new
measurement. If you try to measure multiple times
within 6 seconds, the thermometer will give audible
feedback in the form of three short sequential
beeps, indicating no measurement was done. In this
case you should wait a few moments and try again.
Temperature light ring
This device is equipped with a temperature light
ring around the power button (Fig. 14).
After the measurement, the ring may light up red,
depending on the measured temperature.
- When the temperature light ring lights up red,
the measured temperature is between 38.0°C
(100.4°F) and 42.9°C (109.2°F)
