How
do I keep the Safety Probe Lens on the Omron Instant
Ear Thermometer clean and free of scratches?
Fingerprints, ear wax or dirt will impede the accuracy
of the thermometer. The Safety Probe Lens may be gently
cleaned with a soft cotton cloth moistened with alcohol.
Do not use a paper towel. The fibers in the paper towel
may scratch the Safety Probe Lens. Allow forty- five
minutes for the Safety Probe Lens to dry completely
before attaching the Protective Storage Cap. Always
attach a clean Lens Cover and the Protective Storage
Cap to the thermometer when not in use. |

in one second. |

What
causes a low reading when using an ear thermometer?
The temperature taking technique is the general cause
for a low reading. We recommend that you practice using
the ear thermometer on yourself and other family members
when you are healthy. This will improve your technique
and you will feel more confident of the measurement
you take when someone is ill. Completely read the instruction
manual. A low reading can be caused by an ear infection.

Why take a temperature from the ear?
The Omron Instant Ear Thermometer is less threatening
to a child than a rectal thermometer. It’s faster,
safer and easier to use than an oral thermometer. Measurements
can even be taken while a child is sleeping. For adults,
the Omron Instant Ear Thermometer offers fast convenient,
accurate readings without the wait of a conventional
thermometer. |
