perature will be taken should also be in
the same room for at least 5 minutes be-
fore taking the reading. Whilst taking the
temperature, make sure that the patient
and thermometer are not exposed to
direct heat, sunlight or air conditioning.
• Before taking the reading, check that the
ear canal is clean and accessible; do not
clean the ear just before using the probe
as the use of hot or cold water will affect
the reading.
• Do not take a person' s temperature for at
least thirty minutes after physical effort, a
bath or after a meal.
• If the probe is pointed at a hot object,
it will perform a remote temperature
reading. To avoid such reading errors,
keep the time from when it is switched
on to when it takes the ear reading to a
minimum.
• Do not touch the sensor, the probe or
the probe cap with your fingers. If fin-
gerprints get left on the sensor, remove
them following the instructions pro-
vided in the "CARE AND MAINTENANCE"
section.
READING PROCEDURE
Important: before switching the ap-
pliance on, the probe cap must be
fitted correctly, following the instruc-
tions provided in the "Fitting the
probe cap" section.
Fitting the probe caps.
1. Place the probe cap in the hous-
ing in the thermometer case (see
diagram 1). Important: position the
probe cap making sure the adhe-
sive part, i.e. the knurled section,
(see diagram 1 ) is facing upwards.
2. Align the centre of the probe cap
with the centre of the probe.
3. Insert the probe into its seat until
you hear it click into place; this
mean it is now ready to use.
If the probe cap is not fitted correctly,
when the appliance is switched on,
the
symbol will blink on the dis-
play and it will not be possible to take
any readings (the appliance will beep
three times and no message will ap-
pear on the display).

If this happens, fit the probe cap again
following the instructions provided in
points 1-3 of this section very care-
fully.
Warning! Only use dedicated probe
