QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
How many times can I measure consecutively?
You can measure consecutively up to three times. After that the main unit
will be warmed up and may not be able to measure correctly. If you are
going to measure more than four times, wait for ten minutes, then
measure again.
The temperature indicated is rather high. What are the
causes?
1) The probe cover is broken.
2) The temperature measured under the arm is relatively lower.
When measuring the temperature under the arm, it is necessary to
measure for ten minutes to obtain a correct value. When the
measuring time under the arm is short, the measured value tends to be
low.
3) You used the thermometer that had been stored in the cold. Measure
the temperature after leaving the unit for more than thirty minutes in
the room where you are going to take temperature. If you store the unit
in the room where you are going to measure the temperature, you can
use the thermometer immediately.
Is the temperature measured in the right ear different from
that measured in the left ear?
For healthy people, there should be almost no difference in the
measurement results, the following conditions may cause differences in
the readings:-.
1) The infrared sensor is not inserted in the same way.
2) Measurement is not conducted in a stable manner by inserting the unit
at the same angle.Try to measure in the ear that can show the highest
measurement value constantly.
The temperature indicated is rather low. What are the
causes?
1) The probe cover is dirty.
2) The infrared sensor is dirty.
3) The unit is removed from the ear before the measurement is finished.
4) The ear is cooled. The temperature indicated tends to be low when you
use an ice bag, or immediately after coming home in winter.
5) The thermometer is not inserted deep enough in the ear.
6) The infrared sensor is not directed towards the eardrum. Alternatively,
you can use the "Direct Mode".
