BASIC INFORMATION USA D Thank you for purchasing Ear and Forehead Thermometer. For safe use of this product, be sure to read and fully understand this manual as well as the safety precautions, prior to any use. Please keep this manual safely stored for convenient reference. The device is intended for the intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature by consumers in the home.
BASIC INFORMATION USA 1.0 Definition of symbols The safety symbols shown in this instruction manual contain information concerning the correct use of the device and your safety.
USA D BASIC INFORMATION 2.0 Application and functionality The Ear and Forehead Thermometer is an infrared temperature measurement device with which you can easily and straightforwardly carry out precise measurements of the body temperature on the forehead or in the ear as well as the temperature of liquids or surfaces. An acoustic signal indicates the end of the temperature measurement; then, you can read the temperature measured on the LCD display.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS USA 2.2 Field of application This device is intended to be used and applied only in a domestic environment, but it is not suitable for commercial usage. 3.0 Safety instructions 3.1 General safety instructions 3.1.1 In case of a defect, the device must not be used. Do not try to modify (change), disassemble or repair the device or replace any parts. 3.1.2 If irregularities occur during the use of the device, you must stop the application immediately and seek medical advice. 3.1.
USA D SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 3.1.8 Do not drop the device, do not shake it and do not expose it to any impacts. 3.1.9 In order to ensure precise measurement results, particularly protect the infrared sensor of the device against moisture, dirt and damage. 3.2.0 Do not expose the device to direct sunlight and excessively high or low temperatures. Use and store the device only in dry environments free from any contamination. 3.2.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS USA 3.3 Environment for which the DSO 364 device is not suited 3.3.1 Do not use the device in damp and wet environments. Keep the device away from any liquids while in use and, above all, never immerse it in liquids. 3.3.2 Do not use the device near highly flammable substances or gases or near explosives. 3.3.3 While using the device, it may interfere with other electric devices or may be impaired by other electric devices. Therefore, do not use the device near other electric devices.
USA D SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 3.4 Usage by children and adolescents 3.4.1 The device must be stored out of the reach of children and adolescents younger than 18 years. 3.4.2 Supervise children in order to prevent them from playing with the device. 3.4.3 Keep the device out of the reach of children. Small parts or batteries could be swallowed by children who might then choke. Children could hurt themselves when using the device. 3.5 Information on the application of the device 3.5.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS USA 3.5.5 Do not use the device if it is damaged. Using a damaged device might result in injuries, serious risks and inaccurate measurement results. 3.5.6 Do not perform any measurements in the ear if you suffer from an ear disease or if there is still water in the ear (e.g. after having taken a shower, after swimming...). 3.5.7 Earwax or oily skin on the forehead might result in inaccurate measurements. Therefore, clean the ear and / or the forehead before carrying out a measurement.
USA D SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 3.6.1 If ear drops or other medication were administered in one ear, the measurement of the body temperature should be carried out in the other ear. 3.6.2 Babies and toddlers have a higher body temperature than adults. With increasing age, the body temperature decreases. In most cases, temperature fluctuations are higher for children and occur more quickly and more frequently. 3.6.
BODY TEMPERATURE USA 4.0 Questions concerning body temperature 4.1 What is body temperature? The body temperature is the internal temperature of the body (core temperature). It fluctuates during the course of the day and is lowest in the early morning and highest in the late afternoon. The normal value of the body temperature is not a fixed value, but rather a temperature range. In general, the body temperature decreases with increasing age.
USA D BODY TEMPERATURE Measurements performed on different parts of the human body produce different results: Usually, the body temperature measured rectally is approx. 0.5 °F / 0.3 °C higher than the body temperature measured in the mouth, and this, in turn, is 0.5 °F / 0.3 °C higher than the body temperature measured in the armpit.
BODY TEMPERATURE USA 4.3 Information on measuring the body temperature in the ear For babies younger than 12 months: Gently pull the ear slightly diagonally backwards in order to straighten the ear canal. Carefully insert the measuring probe into the ear canal in order to ensure that the measuring probe is directed towards the eardrum (see Fig. 3).

BASIC FUNCTIONS USA 8.0 Basic functions 8.1 Commissioning of the device The two batteries have already been inserted in the device, but are protected by means of an insulating strip. Before using the device for the first time, open the cover of the battery compartment on the rear Fig. 4 side of the device (see also page 34). Remove the insulating strip as shown in Fig. 4 and close the cover of the battery compartment. Now, the device switches on with 4 short acoustic signals and, on the LCD Fig.
USA D BASIC FUNCTIONS if you hold the device in such a manner that the front side with the buttons is facing the user. In the temperature measurement mode and in the memory mode, it is the other way round: In this case, the display is in the correct position if you hold the device in such a manner that the rear side is facing the user.
BASIC FUNCTIONS USA 8.2 Warning indicator if the body temperature is too high The device is equipped with a backlighting, which immediately indicates by means of different colours after the body temperature has been measured in which range the body temperature is: Green backlighting: the body temperature measured is below 99.5 °F (37.5 °C) Red backlighting: the body temperature measured is in the elevated temperature range from 99.5 °F (37.5 °C) to 100.3 °F (37.
USA D BASIC FUNCTIONS 8.4 Energy saving mode By default, the device has been set in such a way that it switches to the standby mode (time, date and ambient temperature are shown alternately) approx. 30 - 60 seconds, depending on the respective mode, after the last button has been pressed. If you wish that the device switches off completely after approx. 1 minute, you can proceed as follows: Press the SET button in the standby mode and keep it pressed for approx.
TIME AND DATE USA 9.0 Display / setting time and date 9.1 Display of time and date In the standby mode and in the memory mode, the device alternately shows ambient temperature (°C or °F), time (hours / minutes) in the 24hour or 12-hour mode (PM) and date (month / weekday). The two flashing points between the hour and minute display signal intervals of one second. 9.2 Setting time and date Step 1: Press the SET button and keep it pressed for approx. 2 seconds in order to access the setting mode.
USA D TIME AND DATE Step 4: On the display, the minute display flashes now and you can set the value from 00 to 59 by pressing the MEM button and save the value set by pressing the SET button. Step 5: On the display, the calendar year display flashes now and you can set the value from 2001 to 2099 by pressing the MEM button and save the value set by pressing the SET button.
TIME AND DATE USA PLEASE NOTE: If you press the MEM button when setting the date and time values, the respectively next higher value is set.
