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-

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.

General safety information
WARNING!
Danger for children and persons
with impaired physical, sensory or
mental capacities (e.g. partially dis-
abled persons, older persons with
reduced physical and mental ca-
pacities) or lack of experience and
knowledge (e.g. older children).
Children or persons, who lack knowl-
edge and/or experience handling
the device or with impaired physical,
sensory and/or mental abilities, must
not use or play with the thermometer
without supervision and instruction
by a person who is responsible for
their safety.
Attention! Risk of injury!
Store the device and accessories so
they are not accessible to children and
persons under 18 years of age.
Supervise children to prevent them
from playing with the thermometer.
Ensure that the thermometer does
not end up in the hands of children.
Safety
12
Children could ingest small parts or
batteries and choke. Children could
injure themselves when using the
thermometer.
Children’s temperature measure-
ments may only be taken by an adult.
WARNING!
Risk of injury!
Improper handling of the thermometer
may result in injury.
The thermometer must not be used in
the event of a defect. Do not attempt
to modify, disassemble or repair the
thermometer or to replace parts of it.
Check the thermometer for damage
before each use. If there is an error or
a defect (e.g. caused by children, pets
or pests), the thermometer must not
be used. In this case, please contact
the service center or the manufacturer.
If you experience any irregularities
(such as an allergic reaction) while
using the thermometer, immediately
stop using it and consult your physician.
Safety
13
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
thermometer.
The thermometer has a class 1 LED
(flashlight function). Do not look
directly into the LED beam for a pro-
longed period and do not point the
LED beam in the eyes of other persons
or animals.
Avoid improper use and use that does
not correspond to the designated
purpose.
Keep the infrared sensor clean and
dry and avoid damages. This is the
only way to obtain accurate measure-
ments.
Safety
14
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
water in your ear (e.g. from showering
or swimming).
Do not use the thermometer if it is
damaged. Using a damaged device
can result in injury, pose serious risks
and lead to inaccurate measurement
results.
Wait a while before measuring tem-
perature if the thermometer was
stored in an area with a large tempera-
ture difference to the place where you
intend to measure temperature. Both
Safety

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
16
When taking the temperature of per-
sons with hearing aids or ear plugs,
it is recommended to wait approx.
30 minutes after they have been
removed from the ear before taking
their temperature.
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
Improper handling of the thermometer
may result in damage.
Do not use any accessories from other
devices.
Do not let the thermometer fall, do
not shake it and do not expose it to
shocks.
For accurate readings, ensure in
particular that the infrared sensor of
the thermometer is protected against
damage and exposure to wetness and
dirt.
Do not expose the thermometer to
direct sunlight, fire, dirt, lint, dust, wa-
ter, heat or extreme temperatures to
prevent damage to the thermometer.
Safety
17
Do not open the thermometer and
do not attempt to repair it yourself in
the event of disturbances or damage.
This will void your warranty claim. The
thermometer may only be repaired by
authorized qualified professionals.
Do not store the thermometer in areas
where it is exposed to extremely high
or low ambient temperatures (under
-4°F (-20°C) or over 131°F (55°C) or in
an extremely dry or moist environ-
ment as this can affect the accuracy of
the measurements.

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
11–65 years 35.9–37.6 °C 96.6–99.7 °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
