Note that the thermometer will display a default temperature of
00.0˚F/00.0˚C after battery power is restored and until a
measurement is taken.
When the low battery symbol appears on the display (Figure 3),
the battery should be replaced. When the low battery symbol
appears with the “Lo” symbol, the battery must be replaced in
order for the ear thermometer to function.
NOTE: Do not discard used lithium batteries in trash. Please
turn in at an official collection point. If the monitor will not be
used for an extended period of time (three months or more),
please remove battery.
CHANGING TEMPERATURE SCALE BETWEEN
CELSIUS AND FAHRENHEIT
To switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit readings, press and
hold the “Scan” button while the unit is on and immediately
press the “MEMORY” button to toggle between scales. Once
the desired scale is selected, press the “Scan” button to take a
new reading or allow the unit to turn off automatically and then
turn it back on to view the converted temperatures stored in
memory.
USING NIGHT MODE & DAY MODE
Night Mode is a unique feature that allows a temperature
reading to be taken in a dark setting.
Night Mode functions like Day Mode with the addition of an
LED flashlight feature to aid in guiding the probe into the ear
canal and a display that will illuminate for 5 seconds after
measurement.
Select Night Mode or Day Mode by using the slide switch on
the bottom of the device. For Night Mode, slide the switch to
the right. For Day Mode, slide it to the left.
Day Mode is recommended for general use in order to
preserve battery life. Modes can be changed at any time before
or after measurement. They can also be changed regardless of
whether the unit is turned on/off. Do not change modes during
measurement as the accuracy of the reading may be affected.
