[. . . ] Measurement of children's temperatures must be conducted under adult supervision!It can be cleaned by wiping it with a cloth or cotton-wool ball soaked in rubbing alcohol. · Use of the thermometer is no substitute for medical treatment!· The unit has an off-set function to compensate for the influence of the ambient temperature. [. . . ] Immediately after exercise or a bath, the temperature may be raised. GB Press the ON button [ON]. · As long as the symbol is displayed, a new measurement can be taken. 8 C/98. 24 F For the temperature to be measured accurately in the ear, the tip of the probe must be directed towards the eardrum. · It is advisable to take the temperature in the same ear, since the values measured in the left and right ear may be different. · In the case of patients whose auditory canal is curved, the temperature values measured may deviate owing to anatomical influences. · The ear should not be obstructed, for example by excessive amounts of ear wax. 34. 8 C/94. 64 F 5 - GB 6 - GB TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT FOREHEAD In order to ensure accurate measurement, the patient should first rest for 20 minutes in the same room as the thermometer. Immediately after exercise or a bath, the temperature may Always check that the probe attachment is fixed onto the thermometer. Prior to measurement, the forehead should be free of perspiration, make-up, etc. Place the probe tip with the attachment on the patient's forehead.

Press the ON button (you will hear a beep) and keep it pressed down as you slide the thermometer towards the left, moving it for at least three seconds over the temporal artery. · The precise sensing system records the heat emitted naturally through the skin. If the thermometer is not moved over the temporal artery, the temperature recorded may be lower. It is advisable to take the temperature 2 - 3 times and to record the highest value, since the position of the temporal artery varies from person to person. In some patients the forehead temperature may differ as a result of environmental factors and it is advisable to take and record your forehead temperature when healthy. The measurement of forehead temperature is an excellent point of reference for recognising raised body temperature. If you are in any doubt about the temperature measured, please measure it again in the ear and, for the sake of accuracy, record the highest value. GB GB · · MEASURING WATER AND ROOM TEMPERATURE · Measurement should be conducted in ear mode only. · To measure water temperature, keep the probe at least 1cm (± 0. 5 cm) above the surface of the water. The greater the distance from the surface of the water, the less accurate the measured values will be. 7 - GB 8 - GB MEMORY In order to switch over to Celcius (°C), press the MEM button and then press and release the ON button while the memory cell number is displayed on the LCD panel.
