If no beep is heard, press
and release the ON button
again.
As soon as you hear the

• As long as the symbol is displayed, a new
measurement can be taken.
• 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.
