This thermometer offers a wide measurement range feature from

0 - 100.0 °C / 32.0 - 212.0 °F, meaning the unit can be used as an

ear thermometer to measure body temperature or it can be used to

measure surface temperature of the following:

• Milk surface temperature in a baby’s bottle

• Surface temperature of a baby’s bath

• Ambient temperature

Measurement in 1 second

The innovative infrared technology allows measurement of ear tempe-

rature in only 1 second.

Accurate and reliable

The unique probe assembly construction, incorporating an advanced

infrared sensor, ensures that each measurement is accurate and

reliable.

Gentle and Easy to Use

• The ergonomic design enables simple and easy use of the

thermometer.

• This thermometer can even be used on a sleeping child, thereby

causing no disruption.

• This thermometer is quick, therefore child-friendly.

Auto-Display Memory

The last reading is automatically displayed for 2 seconds when the

unit is switched ON.

Multiple Reading Recalls

Users will be able to recall the last 12 readings when entering the recall

mode, enabling efficient tracking of temperature variations.

Safe and Hygienic

• No risk of broken glass or mercury ingestion.

• Completely safe for use on children.

• Disposable probe covers make this thermometer completely

hygienic for use by the whole family.

10 short beeps and a red LCD backlight alert the patient that he/she

may have a temperature equal to or higher than 37.5 °C.

2. Important Safety Instructions

• This device may only be used for the purposes described in this

booklet. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage

caused by incorrect application.

• Always use the thermometer with a new undamaged Probe Cover

for each measurement to prevent infection. Only Microlife branded

probe covers can ensure that you get an accurate measurement.

•Never immerse this device in water or other liquids. For

cleaning please follow the instructions in the «Cleaning

and Disinfecting» section.

• Do not use the device if you think it is damaged or notice

anything unusual.

• Never open the device.

• Earwax in the ear canal may cause a lower temperature reading.

Therefore it is important to ensure the subject’s ear canal is clean.

• This device comprises sensitive components and must be trea-

ted with caution. Observe the storage and operating conditions

described in the «Technical Specifications» section.

• Protect it as well as the probe covers from:

- extreme temperatures

- impact and dropping

- contamination and dust

- direct sunlight

- heat and cold

• If the device is not going to be used for a prolonged period the

batteries should be removed.

• Ensure that children do not use the device unsupervised; some

parts are small enough to be swallowed.

• The function of this device may be compromised when used

close to strong electromagnetic fields such as mobile phones or

radio installations and we recommend a distance of at least 1m.

In cases where you suspect this to be unavoidable, please verify

if the device is working properly before use.

WARNING:

Use of this device is not intended as a substitute for consultation

with your physician. This device is NOT waterproof so do not immerse

in liquids.

4. How this Ear Thermometer Measures Ear Temperature

This thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from the eardrum

and the surrounding tissue. This energy is collected through the lens

and converted to a temperature value. The measured reading obtained

directly from the eardrum (Tympanic Membrane) ensures the most

accurate ear temperature.

Measurements taken from the surrounding tissue of the ear canal gene-

rate lower readings and may result in misdiagnosis of fever.

To avoid an inaccurate measurement:

• First slip on a probe cover.

• Switch on the thermometer by pressing the O/I button.

• After one beep is heard (and the temperature scale icon is flashing),

straighten the ear canal by gently pulling the middle of the ear back

and up.

• Place the probe firmly into the ear canal, press the START button

and keep the probe in the ear until the thermometer beeps to

signal the completion of the measurement.

This thermometer has been clinically tested and proven to be

safe and accurate when used in accordance with its opera-

ting instruction manual.

6. How to Reload a New Probe Cover

NOTE:

• In order to avoid cross-contamination, please reload a new probe

cover attached tightly.

(1) Place a probe cover onto

the storage case hole

with paper side upwards.

(2) Take the unit, vertically

penetrate the probe into

the center part of the

probe cover.

7. Directions for Use

Important: Prior to every measurement, fit a new undamaged Probe

Cover on the measuring probe. Failure to do so may result in incorrect

temperature measurement.

1. Press the O/I button. The display is activated

to show all segments for 2 seconds.

2. The last measurement reading will automati-

cally be shown on the display for 2 seconds

with the «M» icon.

3. When the «°C» or «°F» icon is flashing, a

beep sound is heard and the thermometer is

ready for measurement.

4. Straighten the ear canal by pulling the ear up and back to give a

clear view of the eardrum.

• For children under 1 year; pull the ear straight

back.

• For children of 1 year to adult; pull the ear up

and back.

Also refer to the short instructions at the front.

5. While gently pulling the ear, insert the

probe snugly into the ear canal (max. 1 sec.)

and immediately press the START button.

Release the button and wait for the beep

sound. This is the indication that confirms

the end of measurement.

6. Remove the thermometer from the ear canal.

The display shows the measured temperature.

NOTE:

To ensure accurate readings, wait at least 30 sec. after 3-5

continuous measurements.

Replace the probe cover after each measurement. To do this, please

follow the instruction in point 6 «How to Reload a New Probe Cover».

• 10 short beeps and a red LCD backlight alert the patient that he/

she may have a temperature equal to or higher than 37.5 °C.

• For an infant, it is best to have the child lying flat with his/her head

sideways so the ear is facing upwards. For an older child or adult,

it is best to stand behind and slightly to the side of the patient.

• Always take the temperature in the same ear, since the tempera-

ture readings may be different from ear to ear.

• In the following situations it is recommended that three tempera-

tures in the same ear be taken and the highest one taken as the

reading:

1) New born infants in the first 100 days.

2) Children under three years of age with a compromised immune

system and for whom the presence or absence of fever is critical.

3) When the user is learning how to use the thermometer for the

first time until he/she has familiarized himself/herself with the

device and obtains consistent readings.

4) If the measurement is surprisingly low.

8. Changing from Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice-versa

The thermometer can display temperature measurements in either

Fahrenheit or Celsius. To switch the display between °C and °F, simp-

ly turn OFF the unit, press and hold the START button for 5 seconds

until «---»and the flashing «°C» or «°F» icon is shown on the LCD.

Switch the measurement scale between °C and °F by pressing the

START button again. When the measurement scale has been chosen,

wait for 5 seconds and the unit will enter the ready for measuring

mode automatically.
