Is the temperatures measured in the right ear different from that
measured in the left ear?
Among healthy people, there should be no significant difference in the
measurement results. Differences may be caused by the following reasons:
1) The infrared sensor is not inserted in the same way.
2) Measurement is not conducted by inserting the unit in a stable manner in
the same angle. Try to measure in either ear that can show the highest
measurement value constantly. In accordance with the “10 seconds mode,”
the unit detects the highest temperature. (Refer to paragraph 3.2).
The temperature shown is rather low.
1 The probe cover is dirty.
2 The infrared sensor is dirty.
3 You removed the unit from the ear before the measurement is finished.
4 The ear is cold. The temperature tends to indicate low when you use
an ice bag or an ice pack, or immediately after coming in from the
cold in winter.
5 The thermometer is not inserted deep enough in the ear.
6 The infrared sensor is not directed towards the eardrum.
Use the 10 seconds measurement mode (Refer to paragraph 3.2).
