• This thermometer has been designed to be used with the original probe covers from
Alvita. This is to prevent the sensitive probe tip from becoming blocked with wax
from ear.
• Use a new probe cover for each reading to ensure an accurate measurement and
prevent cross contamination.
• Ear wax can aect the measurement, you should clean the ear before measuring if
necessary. (Care should be taken when cleaning the ear.)

Introduction
Health advice
- Consult a doctor if you feel that you are in poor health.
- Do not judge your health only on the presence or absence of a fever.
- Measurement results are for reference only, diagnosis or treatment should be made
on the advice of a healthcare professional.
- The patient is the intended operator.

How to use the Alvita Infrared Ear Thermometer
To obtain accurate measurements, make sure a new, clean probe cover is attached
to the thermometer before each measurement and that the ear canal is clean.
Step 1
Attach the probe cover by
rotating it clockwise to
lock into position.
(Remove the probe cover
by rotating it anti-clockwise
to release).
The correct attachment of the probe cover ensures accurate temperature
measurements.
This thermometer must only be used with Alvita probe covers. Other
covers can lead to inaccurate measurements. Replacement Alvita probe
covers can be purchased from your local retailer.
Step 2
Press the grey “On/O Memory” button. The thermometer is ready to use when the
ear icon flashes and two beeps sound.
When the device has been stored below 10°C (50°F) or above 40°C
(104°F), place it in the correct temperature range for at least 30 minutes
before use.
Step 3
Gently pull the ear upwards (1) and back to
straighten the ear canal (2) and snugly position
the probe into the ear canal.
The ear thermometer must be inserted correctly into the ear to obtain the
correct temperature measurement. This thermometer is only designed to
measure the ear temperature. Do not use it in any other body site.

Step 4
Press and hold the blue “Temperature” button for 3
seconds whilst gently pivoting the probe from side to
side within the ear. This allows you to measure the
temperature of the entire ear canal to find the highest
temperature.
Replace the probe cover after use, to ensure an accurate measurement
and avoid cross contamination.
Only use Alvita probe covers.
Step 5
After 3 seconds, a long beep will be heard. This is when the measurement can be read.
A further two beeps will sound to indicate that the thermometer is ready to take another
measurement.
If the recorded temperature:
Is lower than 34°C (93.2°F) The display will show “Lo”
(4 short beeps will sound).
Is between 34°C (93.2°F) and 37.5°C (99.5°F) The display will show the temperature
1 long beep will sound).
Is higher than 37.5°C (99.5°F) Fever Alarm:
The display will show the temperature flashing
(4 short beeps will sound).
Is higher than 42.2°C (108.0°F) The display will show “Hi”
(4 short beeps will sound).
It is recommended that you take 3 measurements from the same ear replacing
the probe cover each time. If the 3 measurements dier, select the highest
temperature.

Step 6
The device will automatically shut o if unused for more than 1 minute, to maintain
the battery life. Alternatively press the grey “On/O Memory” button for at least 3
seconds to turn the device o.
Cleaning and Storage
The probe is the most delicate part of the thermometer. Care should be taken when
cleaning the lens, to avoid damage.
1. A cotton swab dipped in Alcohol (70% concentration) should be used to clean
the lens.
2. Allow the probe to dry for at least 5 minutes. Keep the device dry and away from any
liquid and direct sunlight. The probe should not be submerged into liquids.
Memory function
If the measurement is within the range 34°C to 42.2°C (93.2°F to 108°F), the
measurement is saved to the memory.
The thermometer stores 9 recent measurements in the memory.
To review the measurements in the memory:
1. Turn the device on.
2. Press the grey “ON/OFF/Memory” button again, to display the
measurements stored.
Switching the sound o
1. Turn the device o.
2. Hold down the blue “Temperature” button, then press and hold the
grey “ON/OFF/Memory” button until the LCD shows °C. Release both buttons.
3. Press the grey “ON/OFF/Memory” button again to switch the sound o, then
release the button.
4. Use the same process to turn the sound on.

Switching between Fahrenheit and Celsius
1. Turn the device o.
2. Hold down the blue “Temperature” button then press and hold the grey
“ON/OFF/Memory” button until the LCD shows °C. Release both buttons.
3. Press the blue “Temperature” button again to change the °C to °F,
then release the button.
4. Use the same process to change the LCD display from °F to °C.
Replacing the battery
The thermometer is provided with one lithium battery (CR2032).
1. Turn o the thermometer before replacing the battery.
2. Open the battery cover, and flip the battery out with a small screwdriver.
3. Insert the new battery with the positive (+) side up. Press it down until you hear
a click.
4. Replace the battery cover.
