User's Manual
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing our BébéSounds®Ear Thermometer.
This Ear Thermometer will enable you to take an accurate
temperature in just one second.
The ear thermometer is a delicate electronic device designed to
measure body temperature. This thermometer will provide you
with an accurate and reliable temperature reading by detecting
infrared heat from the eardrum. The eardrum reflects the body’s
temperature because it shares blood vessels with the part of
the brain that controls body temperature.
Temperature readings from an ear thermometer are considered
to be as accurate as those taken orally. Please keep in mind
that body temperature will differ based on a person’s age and
the time of day it is taken. Temperature will also vary from ear
to ear. Therefore, for best results, temperature should be taken
from the same ear whenever possible.
NOTE: According to extensive clinical examinations, the
temperature readings given by an ear thermometer are
equivalent to those given by its oral counterparts.
Use of this ear thermometer should not replace a visit to your
doctor. It is recommended that you advise your doctor any
time a temperature is above 100°F/37.8°C.

BATTERY INSTALLATION
NOTE: The word Lo by itself does not mean the battery is low and
needs to be changed. It means the temperature being measured is
out of the thermometer’s range.
Replace the battery when the low battery
warning symbol appears (See Fig. 1). If
only the symbol appears, you may still
use the thermometer but you will need to
replace the battery soon. If the symbol
appears with the word Lo (See Fig. 2),
you must replace the battery to use the
thermometer.
1. Slide the battery
compartment lid off.
2. Carefully release the battery
by using a non-metal tool
3. Insert one 3-volt CR-2032
lithium battery with the the
positive side (+) facing up.
4.
Replace the battery compartment
lid by sliding it forward.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Please do not use this ear thermometer when the ear canal is wet.
1. Press and realease the POWER/SCAN
button. The system will start its self-
testing cycle (See Fig. 4).
2. Once the self-testing is completed
(approximately 1 second), the
thermometer will beep twice and the
display will show the last temperature
recorded. This indicates the thermometer
is ready to take a temperature (See Fig. 5).
3. Press the POWER/SCAN button again
and do not release it. The symbol
will appear beneath the last reading
(See Fig. 6). The word Lo may also
appear indicating the temperature
registering is lower than 93.2°F/34°C.
NOTE: The word Lo does not mean the
battery is low and needs to be changed
unless the low battery icon appears with
it (See Fig. 7). It means the
temperature being measured is out of
the thermometer’s range.
4. Keeping the POWER/SCAN button
depressed, insert the probe into the ear
canal. The probe must be inserted well
into the ear to allow the probe tip to
continuously scan the ear canal. This
will ensure an accurate temperature
measurement (See Fig. 8).
5. After one second you will hear a beep
indicating the reading is complete.
Remove the thermometer from the ear
and release the POWER/SCAN button to
get the temperature reading.
6. A smiling face will appear
indicating a temperature reading lower
than 100.4°F/38°C. A frowning face
accompanied by one long and two
short beeps, will indicate a temperature
of 100.4°F/38°C or higher (See Figs. 9
and 10).
7. To change the reading from Celsius to
Fahrenheit, press the POWER/SCAN
button without releasing it, then press
the blue M button on the underside of
Figure 7

the thermometer. First release the M
button and then the POWER/SCAN button.
8. The Ear Thermometer stores and
recalls the last 10 temperature
readings. To recall the prior readings
simply press the blue M button on the
underside of the thermometer. The
memory symbol, the number of the
reading, and the temperature reading
will appear on the display (See Fig. 11).
9. If you want to immediately take a
second reading, please wait at least
10 seconds.
10. The temperature may vary between
both ears so try to take the
temperature from the same ear each
time. If your child has an ear infection,
avoid taking a temperature in that ear.
11. The thermometer has a temperature
measurement range of 93.2°-109.4°F/
34°-43°C. If the temperature being
measured is below the range, the
word Lo will appear. The word Hi will
appear when the temperature
measured is above 109.4°F/43°C
(See Figs. 12 and 13).
12. If the ambient temperature is outside
the thermometer’s range (60.8°-
104°F/16°- 40°C), the word Err will
appear (See Fig. 14).

CARE AND CLEANING
1. The ear thermometer is a delicate electronic device.
Although the probe can be cleaned with alcohol, the body
of the thermometer should never be submerged in water or
any other liquid.
2. Clean the probe with a cotton swab moistened with alcohol
after every measurement and before each use. Clean the
body of the thermometer with a soft dry cloth. Never use an
abrasive.
3. Avoid touching the probe with your fingers.
4. Do not expose the thermometer to direct sunlight.
5. Keep out of the reach of children when not in use. The
optimal storage temperature range is 4°-122°F/-20°-50°C.
6. Use the ear thermometer to take temperature from the ear
canal only. Do not use it to take rectal, oral, or underarm
temperatures.
7. Do not disassemble the thermometer.
8. Only use a 3-volt CR-2032 lithium battery.
NOTE: According to extensive clinical examinations, the
temperature readings given by an ear thermometer are
equivalent to those given by its oral counterparts.
Use of this ear thermometer should not replace a visit to your
doctor. It is recommended that you advise your doctor any
time a temperature is above 100°F/37.8°C.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Consistent low temperature readings:
a. The probe is not positioned properly in the ear canal.
The tip of the probe must be snug and fully seated
against the opening of the ear canal. Failure to properly
position the probe may lead to a low temperature
reading.
b. The probe lens is dirty. Clean the lens with a soft cloth
moistened with water or alcohol.
2. The word Lo or Hi appears. Temperature is out of the range
of thermometer:
a. The probe is not positioned properly in the ear canal.
The tip of the probe must be snug and fully seated
against the opening of the ear canal. Please properly
position the ear thermometer in the ear canal and then
repeat the measurement.
3. Thermometer will not take a reading
a. Check to see if the low battery icon appears with the word
Lo. If it does, the battery needs to be replaced. See
Battery Installation section of the manual.
b. Check to see if the low battery icon appears by itself. If it
does, the battery may need to be replaced. See the
Battery Installation section of the manual.
NOTE: If you believe your thermometer is defective or
otherwise not operating properly, please check the battery first.
If the thermometer is still not operating properly or if you are
having any other technical problems, please contact the
Unisar®help desk at 1-888-232-6476.
