HOW TO INSERT THE THERMOMETER INTO THE EAR 1. Pull the ear lightly backward to straighten the ear canal. While pulling on the ear, insert the probe tip gently into the ear canal.

CARE AND CLEANING To ensure accurate measurements, keep the probe tip and probe covers clean and free of scratches. Fingerprints, ear wax or dirt will impede the accuracy of the thermometer. The probe may be gently cleaned with a dry soft cloth. Do not use a paper towel. The fibers in the paper towel will scratch the probe tip. Allow the safety probe lens to dry completely before replacing the thermometer in its protective storage case. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the body of the thermometer.
