►As with any thermometer, proper technique is crucial

to getting accurate temperature readings. Please

read this manual thoroughly and carefully before

using.

►Always store the thermometer in a cool and dry

place: temperatures between -4ºF(-20ºC) and

122ºF(50ºC); relative humidity less than 95%. Avoid

direct sunlight.

►Avoid dropping the thermometer from a height or

strongly hitting it with a hard object.

►Do not touch the lens.
►Do not disassemble the thermometer.
►Basic safety precautions should always be observed,

especially when the thermometer is used on or near

children and disabled persons.

►The use to this thermometer is not intended to be a

substitution to consulting your physician.

The forehead temperature is served as a reference

only. It cannot be a judgment on fever.

CAUTIONS & WARNINGS

This thermometer is clinically proven to produce

accurate temperature measurements. However,

please be advised if you have the following

situations:
►The accuracy cannot be ensured for a person who

has deformity in the ear such that the thermometer

probe cannot be properly inserted into the ear

canal.

►The accuracy cannot be ensured when blood or

drainage is found in the ear canal.

►Take temperature from the other ear if ear drops or

medications have been placed in an ear.

► For a person who wears ear plug or hearing aid,

remove the device and wait for 15 minutes before

taking temperature.

RESTRICTIONS OF USE

Never try to clean inside the ears. You may accidentally

damage the ear drum or its surrounding tissues.

Remove excess ear wax only when you can reach it

with a clean cloth. Consult a physician if you suspect

the presence of excess ear wax.

NOTE

INTRODUCTION

HOW DOES IT WORK

NOTE

Thank you for choosing Clever Ear& Forehead

Thermometer.
This innovative medical device leverages on advanced

infrared (IR) technology to measure temperature

instantly and accurately in two convenient ways: in the

ear or on the forehead. An additional function is while

resting on a table, an elegant clock displaying room

temperature will be presented. Set-up with a color

LCD backlight, Clever is an elegantly designed infrared

thermometer meant for your family.

The thermometer measures the infrared heat generated

by the eardrum and its surrounding tissue, or the

forehead skin surface over the temporal artery. The

thermometer then converts it into a temperature value

shown on LCD.

The thermometer does not send out any infrared signal.

HIGHLIGHTED FEATURES

►Provide two body temperatures: ear or forehead.

►Fast and accurate: meet the accuracy requirement

specified in ASTM E1965-98.

►Non-contact measurement that is no lens filter

required, thus saving cost of replacement.

►Clock and room temperature inter-display.

►A splash-proof probe that can be wiped using a

clean cloth slightly damped with alcohol or water.

►Automatically power down or back to the CLOCK/

RT mode if left unused over 30 seconds.

►Big cool button improves handling and activation.

►Nice backlight improves visibility especially in a

dark environment.

►Memory recall function allows you to check

previous results up to 20 measurements.

The body temperature can vary with the individual. It

also varies at different parts of the body and different

time of the day. The following table1 shows the

statistical normal ranges from different sites. Please

keep in mind that temperatures measured from different

sites, even at the same time, should not be directly

compared.

Fever means that the body temperature is higher than

normal. This symptom may be potentially caused by

infection, overdressing or immunization. But some

people may not undergo fever even when they are

ill. These include, but are not limited to, infants not

more than 3 months old, persons with compromised

immune systems, persons taking antibiotics, steroids

or antipyretics (aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen), or

persons with some chronic illnesses. Please consult

your physician when you feel ill even if there is no fever.

Ear Temperature Taking Hints

1. As with any type of thermometer, you may observe

slight variations in consecutive measurements. It is

recommended that you take 3 temperature readings

and use the highest one for the following situations:

Infants not more than 3 months old.
Children not more than 3 years old and have a
compromised immune system and the presence/
absence of fever is critical.
When you are learning to use the thermometer.
2. Please free from the following situations at least for
15 minutes before taking a reading.
When you have your ear covered.

After exercising, swimming, or taking a bath. When

expose to extreme temperature
During eating and talking.
3.To take accurate readings, the ear must be free from
excess ear wax buildup.
4. Please wait at least for 1 minute before next readings
because consecutive measurements will increase the
ear canal surface temperature.

NOTE

As the forehead temperature is likely to b

affected by

sweat, oil and the surroundings, the reading

shall be

taken as a reference only.

If the probe is placed at an angle on the forehead, the

reading will be affected by surrounding temperature.

You can scan at 3 cm distance from the forehead.

Flat

Step2

Press and hold the

On/Scan button. Put

the probe on the

temple. Make sure the

probe is flat on the

temple, not at an

angle.

TURN OFF THE DEVICE

After measurements, the meter will back to its initial

mode after unused over 30 seconds. That is, if the meter

is started from the OFF mode, it will be automatically

off after measurements. Likewise, if the meter is started

from the CLOCK/RT mode, it will be back to that mode

after measurements.

To exit the CLOCK/RT mode, you have to turn off the

thermometer.

To turn the thermometer off, press the Set button until

the hour or minute is blinking. Leave for 30 seconds

without pressing any button. The thermometer is then

automatically off.

RECALL THE MEMORY

Your thermometer stores

recent

eadings in th

memory. B

sure the thermometer is in either "OFF" o

"CLOCK/RT" mode before recall.

Step1

Press the M button to enter

the memory

Each time you press the M

button, a

esult will be displayed

in the order of dates (latest result

shown first together with M and

When the memory is full, the

oldest result is deleted as the

new one added.

NOTE

CARE & CLEANING

Keep the probe clean, as build-up of ear wax and

grease may affect the measurement.

The probe is splash-proof and can be wiped by a

clean cloth damped with water or alcohol.

The body of the thermometer is not water-resistant.

Please never put the thermometer under a running tap

or submerge it into water. Use a soft and dry cloth to

clean it. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Store the thermometer in a cool and dry location.

Please be free from dust and away from direct

sunlight.
