2 Operation

2.1 Getting started

Removing / inserting batteries
A battery providing power for approx. 1000 readings is already
inserted in the MEDISANA FTO infra-red ear thermometer.
Should the battery symbol in the LCD display start to flash after
an extended period of use, the battery (CR-2032 type) must be
replaced.
Removal:
Gently pull off the cover of the battery compartment from the
infra-red thermometer. Remove the battery by carefully levering
it out of the mounting with a pointed object.
Insertion:
Insert the new battery (CR 2032 type) with the positive pole
pointing upwards. Replace the cover and push it up until you
hear it snap into place.
2.2 Operation
Remove the protective cap from the MEDISANA FTO infra-red
ear thermometer.
There is no need to attach a special probe cover to the sensor
area, as the sensor is completely sealed (see also: cleaning and
maintenance tips).
2.2.1 Switching on
Press the ON/OFF button , to be found directly below the
LCD display . All display symbols and the result of the last
reading taken will appear for about 2 seconds, after which the
backlight for the display will switch off. As soon as the unit is
ready to use, you will hear a short tone. The LCD display now
shows a thermometer symbol and the chosen unit of measure-
ment. "°C" indicates that the results will be displayed in de-
grees Centigrade, while "°F" means that body temperature
will be displayed in degrees Fahrenheit.
The measuring range of the MEDISANA FTO infra-red thermo-
meter is from 0 °C to 100 °C (32 °F to 212 °F), displayed in steps
of 0,1 °C or 0,1 °F.
2.2.2 Taking a body temperature reading
Tilt the patient's head slightly in the opposite direction and sup-
port the head (especially in the case of children). Pull on the ear
slightly in order to straighten the auditory canal. Carefully
insert the sensor into the auditory canal. If you are taking
your own temperature, use one hand to pull on the ear and the
other to operate the thermometer.
