Before you use your thermometer for the first time you need to remove the tab from the battery cover. It’s very important to fit a new hygiene cover for each and every reading.
Fitting a new hygiene cover:
Press the ‘on/mem’ button to see the last temperature stored. The thermometer will automatically save the last reading into the memory, if it is within the temperature range of 34 C to 42.2 C (93.2 F to 108 F).
The fever alarm does exactly that – it alerts you when the temperature reads over 37.5 Celsius (99.5 F), warning of a potential fever. The alarm will sound as a lengthy beep, followed by three short beeps.

Firstly, in ‘power off’ mode, press and hold the ‘scan’ button. Once done, press the ‘on/ mem’ button for 3-seconds whilst still holding the ‘scan’ button. The ‘C’ will change to ‘F’. You can use the same process to go the other way too.
The thermometer is supplied with one lithium cell battery (CR2032)
Follow the 4 steps below to change the battery:
**Keep the battery away from children**
We know it’s important to get a good lifespan from the battery - it should therefore last a long time, up to 3000 readings.

Always use a new and undamaged hygiene cover before each reading and measure the same ear 3 times. If the readings are different take the highest.
An incorrect reading (around 2°C lower) can be measured if the ear canal is not straightened correctly. The ear canal is not identical in each ear; this can result in a slight difference in some individuals. It’s therefore important to straighten the ear canal prior to taking a reading. For children under 2 years old, gently pull the ear back as per the image below.
**Technique is critical to ensure an accurate reading**
The probe is the most delicate part of the thermometer. When cleaning the lens, be sure to handle it with care, avoiding damage. If the thermometer is accidentally used without a hygiene cover, don’t worry, as the probe can be cleaned in the following way:

How to identify the different error messages on your thermometer and what they mean.
Firstly, make sure that you have a new hygiene cover in place (you need to use a new cover for every reading) and that the thermometer has been in the same room for at least 15 minutes, as this allows it to detect the ambient room temperature.
Secondly, don’t hold the thermometer in your hand for more than 3 minutes as this can affect the reading, making it read lower. Ensure that the ear canal is clean and straight, as the probe needs to be aimed at the eardrum. If your little one is under 2 years of age, gently pull the ear back to take the reading. If they are over 2, pull the ear up and back to straighten the ear canal.
To ensure that the temperature readings are accurate, we advise to follow the steps below:
