Normal temperature range with various thermometers

Beurer tip

• Temperatures measured with different thermometers should never be compared with one another.
• Tell your doctor what type of thermometer you used to take your temperature and on what part of the body. Also bear this in mind if you are diagnosing yourself.

Holding the thermometer for too long in the hand before taking a measurement can cause the device to warm up. This means the measurement could be incorrect.

Influences on body temperature

• A person’s individual metabolism
• Age

Body temperature is higher in babies and toddlers than in adults. Greater temperature fluctuations occur faster and more often in children. Normal body temperature decreases with age.

• Clothing
• Outside temperature
• Time of day

Body temperature is lower in the morning and increases throughout the day towards evening.

• Activities

Physical and, to a lesser extent, mental activities increase body temperature.

Beurer tip
Taking the body temperature provides a current measurement of a person’s temperature. If you are uncertain about interpreting the results or if the values are abnormal (e.g. fever), please consult your doctor. This also applies in the case of slight temperature changes if there are other symptoms of illness such as agitation, severe sweating, flushed skin, fast pulse rate, tendency to collapse, etc.

2. What you should know about using this thermometer
Before using a forehead thermometer, an ear thermometer or a conventional rod thermometer, the following should be noted: The different thermometers listed above are suitable for measuring body temperature in different parts of the body: forehead thermometer: measurement only on the forehead, ear thermometer: measurement only in the ear, rod thermometer: rectal (in the back passage), axillary (under the arm) or oral measurement (in the mouth). The temperature varies depending on the part of the body where the measurement is taken. The difference in healthy persons between different parts of the body can be between 0.2 – 1°C. The approximate normal temperature ranges are as follows:

• forehead temperature – measured with a forehead thermometer: 35.8 °C to 37.6 °C.
• Ear temperature, measured with an ear thermometer: 36.0 °C to 37.8 °C.
• Rectal temperature, measured with a conventional thermometer: 36.3 °C to 37.8 °C.
• orally measured temperature – measured with a conventional thermometer: 36.0 °C to 37.4 °C.

Beurer-Tip:
Temperatures measured with different thermometers cannot be compared with one another. You should therefore tell your doctor or bear in mind if you are diagnosing yourself what thermometer you used to take your temperature and in what part of the body.

The temperature of a healthy person is also influenced by the following factors:

• The person’s individual metabolism.
• Age (body temperature is higher in babies and small children and falls with increasing age. Greater temperature fluctuations occur faster and more often in children).
• Clothing.
• The outside temperature.
• The time of day (body temperature is lower in the morning and increases during the day towards evening).
• Preceding physical and, to a lesser extent, mental activity.

3. Description of device

4. Functions
This infrared thermometer is for measuring
– temperature at a person’s forehead,
– surface temperature of objects and liquids,
– ambient temperatures.
The thermometer also offers additional functionalities:
– 9 memory locations for simple plotting of changes in temperature,
– date and time, also with all stored temperatures measured,
– Optical and acoustic fever alarm at temperatures over 37.5 °C,
– switchable to °C and °F.

5. Operation
Remove the protective cap and switch on the thermometer with the “ ” button. After a short self-test and two short beep tones, the thermometer is ready for forehead temperature measurement.

5.1 Setting time and date
With the thermometer switched on, hold the “POWER” button depressed for 5 seconds. As soon as the “SET” symbol appears in the display, you can use the “SCAN” button to set in turn the 12 or 24 hour mode, hour, minute, year, month and day (‚24‘ appears in the display for the 24-hour mode). Confi rm the values set in each case with the “ POWER ” button.

5.2 Batteries
The Type 3V CR2032 battery is already fi tted and depending on usage has a life of around 3000 measurements. When the battery gets weak, the battery warning symbol appears . It is still possible to measure the temperature. Battery must be replaced. When the battery symbol fl ashes , the battery must be exchanged by sliding the battery compartment cover off to the rear. Switch off the device, press the batttery compartment lock with a sharp object and slide the battery compartment cover downwards at the same time. Insert a new battery of the same type with the positive pole at the top. Close the battery compartment cover again.

Used batteries should not go into domestic refuse. You are legally obliged to dispose of the batteries correctly. Dispose of them through your electrical dealer or local recycling centre.
Note: you will fi nd these symbols on batteries containing toxic substances: Pb = battery contains lead, Cd = battery contains cadmium, Hg = battery contains mercury. The battery in this device does not contain toxic substances.

6. During use
Always ensure that the sensor is clean and undamaged. Switch on the thermometer with the “POWER ” button.

6.1 Forehead measurement
After a short self-test and two short beeps, the thermometer is ready for measuring the temperature at the forehead/temple. The infrared thermometer is in ‘Forehead thermometer’ mode. This is indicated by the symbol FORHEAD.
Note that

– the thermometer must have been at least 30 minutes in the room in which the measurement is made,
– the measuring result may be falsifi ed by physical activity, fundamentally increased sweat formation on the forehead, consumption of vasoconstrictive medications and skin irritations,
– the forehead or temple must be free of sweat and cosmetics.

Apply the thermometer to the left or right temple and press the “SCAN” button. Move the thermometer to and over the temple. During the measurement you can hear short beeps signalling that the thermometer has found a new maximum temperature. The end of the measuring time is signalled with a long beep. Release the “SCAN” button. You can now read off the temperature measured. The LED is also illuminated according to the test result: a green LED indicates that body temperature is within the normal range, but a red LED lights up with measured values over 37.5 °C, i.e. it is a fever alarm. The measurement normally takes from 5 to 8 seconds, but can take up to 30 seconds.
The thermometer signals with two short beeps and a no longer flashing forehead symbol that the thermometer is ready for a new measurement.

6.2 Saving the temperatures measured
The temperature last measured, i.e. only the last temperature of a series measured, is saved automatically as soon as the thermometer is switched off. There are 9 memory locations available for this.
You can call up the last temperature measured with the “POWER ” button. The date and time are also shown. The LED does not support any requests for stored measured values. If you continue to hold down the “ POWER ” , you will enter a special measuring mode, in which the thermometer will not make a correct measurement. In this event, allow the thermometer to switch off automatically after about 1 minute and then switch it on again.

6.3 Surface temperatures
When you want to measure surface temperatures with this infrared thermometer, you must change to the “SCAN” mode.
With the thermometer switched on (standard forehead thermometer mode) keep the “ SCAN” button depressed and at the same time press the “SCAN” button. This mode is indicated with the symbol. If you keep the “SCAN” button depressed, the surface temperature measured is continuously displayed. You can apply the sensor tip directly to the surface to be measured or measure at close range (do not immerse in liquids).
Note that the temperature displayed is the surface temperature measured but not adjusted. It cannot be compared with the forehead temperature.

6.4 Ambient temperature
After the measurement, the thermometer automatically switches to standby mode after about 1 minute, but only if the time has been set. This mode is identified by the symbol and the ambient temperature is shown continuously.
If you want to use the thermometer to measure the ambient temperature, it should be positioned so that the measurement is not influenced by solar radiation or other influences such as cold draughts from air-conditioning systems. In addition to the ambient temperature, which is updated once every minute, the date and time are displayed alternately.

6.5 Changing the temperature unit
You can display the temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit (°F). With the thermometer switched off or in standby mode, select the unit by holding down the “SCAN” button and at the same time pressing the “POWER ” button. Keep the two buttons depressed until the temperature unit changes. All stored temperatures are displayed in the new temperature unit.

• forehead temperature – measured with a forehead thermometer: 35.8 °C to 37.6 °C.
• Ear temperature, measured with an ear thermometer: 36.0 °C to 37.8 °C.
• Rectal temperature, measured with a conventional thermometer: 36.3 °C to 37.8 °C.
• orally measured temperature – measured with a conventional thermometer: 36.0 °C to 37.4 °C.

Beurer-Tip:
Temperatures measured with different thermometers cannot be compared with one another.
You should therefore tell your doctor or bear in mind if you are diagnosing yourself what thermometer you used to take your temperature and in what part of the body.

The temperature of a healthy person is also influenced by the following
factors:

• The person’s individual metabolism.
• Age (body temperature is higher in babies and small children and falls with increasing age. Greater temperature fluctuations occur faster and more often in children).
• Clothing.
• The outside temperature.
• The time of day (body temperature is lower in the morning and increases during the day towards evening).
• Preceding physical and, to a lesser extent, mental activity.

Beurer-Tip:
Taking the temperature gives a measurement that provides information about a person’s current body temperature. If you are uncertain about interpreting the results or if the result is abnormal (e.g. fever), you should consult your doctor. This also applies in the case of slight temperature changes if there are other symptoms of illness such as agitation, severe sweating, flushed skin, fast pulse rate, tendency to collapse etc.

3. Description of device

4. Functions
This infrared thermometer measures the
– Temperature in the human ear,
– surface temperature of objects and liquids,
– ambient temperatures.
The thermometer also offers additional functionalities:
– 9 memory locations for simple plotting of changes in temperature,
– date and time, also with all stored temperatures measured,
– Optical and acoustic fever alarm at temperatures over 37.5 °C,
– switchable to °C and °F.

5. Operation
This thermometer is designed for use in the ear (ear passage / eardrum) usually for persons aged over 6 months. In children under 6 months, the ear passage is still very narrow so that the temperature of the eardrum can often not be recorded and and the measurement result displayed is too low. Before taking the temperature, remove the protective cap and ensure that the sensor tip and also the ear passage are clean. If there are signs of acute inflammation (discharge of pus or secretion, pain), in the case of injuries or directly after operations on the ear, the non-affected side should be chosen. Otherwise, the measurement result can be incorrect.
Use of the thermometer in different persons can be inappropriate in certain acute infectious diseases because of the possible spread of germs despite cleaning and disinfection. Discuss this with your doctor in the individual case. It must only be used without disposable covers. There is a battery in it already so that it can be used immediately when operated for the first time. Switch on the thermometer with the “ ” button. After a brief self-test and two short beeps, the thermometer is ready to measure the temperature in your ear.

5.1 Setting time and date
With the thermometer switched on, hold the “ ” button depressed for 5 seconds. As soon as the “SET” symbol appears in the display, you can use the “SCAN” button to set in turn the 12 or 24 hour mode, hour, minute, year, month and day (‚24‘ appears in the display for the 24-hour mode). Confirm the values set in each case with the “ POWER ” button.

5.2 Batteries
The Type 3V CR2032 battery is already fi tted and depending on usage has a life of around 3000 measurements. When the battery gets weak, the battery warning symbol appears . It is still possible to measure the temperature. Battery must be replaced. When the battery symbol fl ashes , the battery must be exchanged by sliding the battery compartment cover off to the rear. Switch off the device, press the batttery compartment lock with a sharp object and slide the battery compartment cover downwards at the same time.
Insert a new battery of the same type with the positive pole at the top. Close the battery compartment cover again. Used batteries should not go into domestic refuse. You are legally obliged to dispose of the batteries correctly. Dispose of them through your electrical dealer or local recycling centre.
Note: you will fi nd these symbols on batteries containing toxic substances: Pb = battery contains lead, Cd = battery contains cadmium, Hg = battery contains mercury. The battery in this device does not contain toxic substances.

6. During use
Always ensure that the sensor is clean and undamaged. Switch on the thermometer with the “ ” button.

6.1 Measuring in the ear
After a brief self-test and two short beeps, the thermometer is ready to measure the temperature in your ear. The infrared thermometer is in „ear thermometer“ mode. This is indicated by the symbol As the ear passage is slightly curved, you have to pull the ear slightly up and backwards before inserting the sensor tip. This is particularly important so that the sensor tip can be pointed directly at the eardrum. Insert the sensor tip carefully and press the “SCAN” button for 1 sec.
The end of the measuring time is signalled with a long beep. Release the “SCAN” button. You can now read off the temperature measured. The LED is also illuminated according to the test result: a green LED indicates that body temperature is within the normal range, but a red LED lights up with measured values over 37.5 °C, i.e. it is a fever alarm. The thermometer signals with two short beeps and the cessation of fl ashing of the ear symbol “ ” that the unit is ready to continue measurement.

6.2 Saving the temperatures measured
The temperature last measured, i.e. only the last temperature of a series measured, is saved automatically as soon as the thermometer is switched off. There are 9 memory locations available for this. You can call up the last temperature measured with the “ POWER” button. The date and time are also shown. The LED does not support any requests for stored measured values. If you continue to hold down the “ POWER ”, you will enter a special measuring mode, in which the thermometer will not make a correct measurement. In this event, allow the thermometer to switch off automatically after about 1 minute and then switch it on again.

6.3 Surface temperatures
When you want to measure surface temperatures with this infrared thermometer, you must change to the “SCAN” mode. With the thermometer switched on (Ear thermometer mode) keep the “POWER ” button depressed and at the same time press the “SCAN” button. This mode is indicated with the symbol. If you keep the “SCAN” button depressed, the surface temperature measured is continuously displayed. You can apply the sensor tip directly to the surface to be measured or measure at close range (do not immerse in liquids). Note that the displayed temperature is the measured and not the adapted ear surface temperature. It is not the same as the ear temperature.

6.4 Ambient temperature
After the measurement, the thermometer automatically switches to standby mode after about 1 minute, but only if the time has been set. This mode is identified by the symbol and the ambient temperature is shown continuously. If you want to use the thermometer to measure the ambient temperature, it should be positioned so that the measurement is not influenced by solar radiation or other influences such as cold draughts from air-conditioning systems. In addition to the ambient temperature, which is updated once every minute, the date and time are displayed alternately.

6.5 Changing the temperature unit
You can display the temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit (°F). With the thermometer switched off or in standby mode, select the unit by holding down the “SCAN” button and at the same time pressing the “POWER ” button. Keep the two buttons depressed until the temperature unit changes. All stored temperatures are displayed in the new temperature unit.

7. Trouble shooting

8. Cleaning, storage, disposal
Clean the sensor tip after every use. Use a clean cloth or cotton bud that can be moistened with disinfectant, alcohol or warm water. To clean the entire device, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild soapy solution. Water must never get into the device. If water gets into the device, remove the battery immediately. Only use the device again when it is completely dry. Do not use any harsh cleaning agents. Never immerse the device in water.
Always store the thermometer with the cap on in order to protect the sensor.
The device must not be stored or used at too high or low a temperature or humidity (see 9. technical data), in sunlight, in association with an electrical current or in dusty locations. Otherwise, inaccuracies can occur. If prolonged storage is intended, you should remove the battery.

6. What you should know about using this thermometer
There are different thermometers for taking temperature measurements in different parts of the body:

• Ear/forehead thermometer (this thermometer, for measuring in the ear or on the forehead area)
• Rod thermometer (for rectal [in the back passage], axillary [under the arm] or oral measurement [in the mouth])

Taking the temperature gives a measurement that provides information about a person’s current body temperature. If you are uncertain about interpreting the results or if the value is abnormal, please consult your doctor. This also applies in the case of slight temperature changes if there are other symptoms of illness such as agitation, severe sweating, flushed skin, fast pulse rate, tendency to collapse, etc.

Temperatures measured with different thermometers cannot be compared with one another. You should therefore tell your doctor (or bear in mind if you are diagnosing yourself) what thermometer you used to take your temperature and in what part of the body.

The temperature of a healthy person is influenced by various factors: individual metabolic rate, which depends on the person, age (body temperature of infants and small children is higher and decreases as they age). Greater temperature fluctuations occur faster and more often in children, e.g. due to growth spurts), their clothing, the ambient temperature, the time of day (body temperature is lower in the morning and increases throughout the day towards evening), the preceding physical and, to a lesser extent, mental activity.

The temperature varies depending on the part of the body where the measurement is taken. The difference can be between 0.4 °F (0.2°C) and 1.8 °F (1°C) for a healthy person. The normal temperature ranges are as follows:

• on the forehead: 96.4°F – 99.7°F (35.8°C – 37.6°C), with a forehead thermometer,
• in the ear: 96.8°F – 100°F (36.0°C – 37.8°C), with an ear thermometer,
• in the back passage: 97.3°F – 100°F (36.3°C – 37.8°C), with a conventional thermometer,
• in the mouth: 96.8°F – 99.3°F (36.0°C – 37.4°C), with a conventional thermometer.

7. Measuring
Before each use, please check that the lens is intact. If it is damaged, please contact your retailer or the service address. Bear in mind that the thermometer needs to have been in the room in which the measurement is taken for at least 30 minutes before use.

Measuring body temperature in the ear

• Some people produce diff erent readings in their left and right ear. In order to record temperature changes, always measure a person’s temperature in the same ear.
• The ear thermometer may be used by children only under adult supervision. Measurement is usually possible over the age of 6 months. In infants under 6 months, the ear canal is still very narrow so the temperature of the eardrum often cannot be recorded and the result displayed is often too low. • The measurement must not be taken in an ear affected by inflammatory diseases (e.g. discharging pus or secretion), after possible ear injuries (e.g. eardrum damage) or in the healing period after operative procedures. In all of these cases, please consult your doctor.
• Use of the thermometer on different persons can be inappropriate in the event of certain acute infectious diseases because of the possible spread of germs despite cleaning and disinfection. If you have any doubts, please consult your doctor.
• This thermometer may only be used without a disposable protective cover.
• If you have been lying on one ear for some time, the temperature is slightly raised. Wait a little while or measure in the other ear.
• As ear wax can affect the measurement, you should clean the ear before measuring if necessary.

• Press the POWER button for 1 second to switch the thermometer on. Following a successful self test, the device emits two short beeps.
• Remove the cap by gently pushing it up (1) and then pulling it off forwards (2).

Make sure that the sensor tip and also the ear canal are clean. As the ear canal is slightly curved, you have to pull the ear slightly up and backwards before inserting the sensor tip. This is important so that the sensor tip can be pointed directly at the eardrum.

• Insert the sensor tip carefully and press the POWER button for 1 second.
• Release the POWER button. The end of the measuring time is signalled with a short beep and the measured value appears on the display.

If the measured value is within the normal range (< 100.4°F/38°C), the green LED lights up for 3 seconds. If the measured value is higher (≥ 100.4°F/38°C, high temperature), the red LED is illuminated.

Measuring body temperature on the forehead

Please note that the forehead/temples must be free from sweat and cosmetics and that taking vasoconstrictive medication and skin irritations can distort the result when measuring temperature on the forehead.

• Press the POWER button for 1 second to switch the thermometer on. Following a successful self test, the device emits two short beeps.
• Place the measuring head with the forehead/cover cap fitted on the temples, hold down the Stirn Forehead button and move the thermometer smoothly over the forehead to the other temple.
• Then release the Stirn Forehead button. The end of the measuring time is signalled with a short beep and the measured value appears on the display.

If the measured value is within the normal range (< 100.4°F/38°C), the green LED lights up for 3 seconds. If the measured value is higher (≥ 100.4°F/38°C, high temperature), the red LED is illuminated.

Measuring surface temperature

• Press the POWER button for 1 second to switch the thermometer on. Following a successful self test, the device emits two short beeps.
• Then press the and buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds to switch to the Object temperature mode. The symbol appears in the display.
• Press and hold the SCAN button or Stirn Forehead and point the sensor tip towards the object or liquid to be measured (never immerse in liquids), maintaining a distance of 3 cm.
• Release the button or Stirn Forehead. The end of the measuring time is signalled with a short beep and the measured value appears on the display.

Please note that the displayed temperature is the measured and not the adapted surface temperature. It is not the same as the forehead/ear temperature.
To switch back to the Ear/Forehead thermometer mode, press the MEMORY and POWER buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until the SCAN symbol disappears and there is a short beep. By switching the thermometer off and on again, it automatically exits the Object temperature mode.

The temperature measurement varies depending on the part of the body where the measurement is taken. In a healthy person, the variance can be between 0.2 °C and 1 °C (0.4 °F and 1.8 °F) in different parts of the body.

Normal temperature range with various thermometers

Beurer tip

• Temperatures measured with different thermometers should never be compared with one another.
• Tell your doctor what type of thermometer you used to take your temperature and on what part of the body. Also bear this in mind if you are diagnosing yourself.

Holding the thermometer for too long in the hand before taking a measurement can cause the device to warm up. This means the measurement could be incorrect.

Influences on body temperature

• A person’s individual metabolism
• Age: Body temperature is higher in babies and toddlers than in adults. Greater temperature fluctuations occur faster and more often in children. Normal body temperature decreases with age.
• Clothing
• Outside temperature
• Time of day: Body temperature is lower in the morning and increases throughout the day towards evening.
• Activities: Physical and, to a lesser extent, mental activities increase body temperature.

Beurer tip
Taking the body temperature provides a current measurement of a person’s temperature. If you are uncertain about interpreting the results or if the values are abnormal (e.g. fever), please consult your doctor. This also applies in the case of slight temperature changes if there are other symptoms of illness such as agitation, severe sweating, flushed skin, fast pulse rate, tendency to collapse, etc.

you should carefully read the operating instructions before using it, retain
the instructions for later use and also keep them accessible for other
users.

• The thermometer is intended to measure the temperature of the human body.
• The BY 11 thermometer is only designed for the measuring area on the human body stated in the instructions for use.
• Children should not use the thermometer without supervision.
• Before each use, check the thermometer for signs of damage or wear. Damaged or worn thermometers should not be used.
• Always wait for the acoustic signal which indicates the minimum time required for measurement. Discuss the temperature with your family physician.
• The thermometer contains sensitive electronic parts. Therefore, protect it from blows, bending, high temperature or direct exposure to sunlight.
• This thermometer has a flexible measuring tip to provide greater comfort and safety during measurement, particularly in infants and persons who are asleep or have a reduced level of consciousness. The tip must not be bent more than 90°!
• Using the thermometer in strong electromagnetic fields such as next to a mobile phone, can cause a malfunction.
• When the thermometer is switched on, it carries out a self-test. Therefore the accuracy of measurement need not be tested at regular intervals.
• If the temperature is very abnormal, please contact your family doctor promptly.
• This device meets the requirements of the EU Directive 93/42/EC concerning medical devices, as well as those of the Medizinproduktegesetz (German Medical Devices Act), the European Standard EN 12470-3: Clinical thermometers – part 3: Performance of compact electrical thermometers (non-predictive and predictive) with maximum device and the European Standard EN60601-1-2, and is subject to particular precautions with regard to electromagnetic compatibility. Please note that portable and mobile HF communication systems may interfere with this unit. More details can be requested from the stated Customer Service address or found at the end of the instructions for use.

Measuring methods:
Temperature measurement in the anus (rectal)
This method of measurement is most reliable and most accurate. Guide the tip of the thermometer carefully 2 to 3 cm into the anus. The measurement time with this thermometer at this site is only about 10 seconds. The end of the measuring time is indicated by an signal tone.

Measurement in the mouth cavity (oral)
For this purpose, guide the tip of the thermometer carefully into one of the heat pouches beneath the tongue, to the left or the right of the root of the tongue.

Measurement of temperature in the armpit (axillary)
This method of measurement is relatively inaccurate. Therefore, it cannot
be recommended from a medical point of view.

Use
Press the On/Off switch to turn the unit on. A short acoustic signal will announce that it is switched on. The thermometer will carry out a self-test for about 2 seconds. During the self-test all segments of the display will be visible. Then “Lo °C (Lo °F)” or the value of the last measurement will appear in the display. Then the reference value of 37 °C (98.6 °F) will appear. Then the flashing symbol “°C” (“°F”) appears and the symbol “Lo” is shown in the display screen. The thermometer is now ready for use. During the measurement, the current temperature is displayed continuously, and the “°C” (“°F”) symbol flashes on and off. The measurement is completed when a stable temperature has been reached. An acoustic signal (10 long beeps) sounds, the “°C” (“°F”) symbol stops flashing and the measured temperature is displayed. So long as the temperature is less than 32 °C (89.6 °F), the “°C” (“°F”) symbol continues to flash and “Lo °C (Lo °F)” is shown on the display. Higher values are displayed directly, e.g. 32.1 °C (89.8 °F). If temperatures over 37.8 °C (100 °F) are measured, a fever alarm (30 short beeps in 10 seconds) sounds. If temperatures over 43.0 °C (109.4 °F) are measured, the symbol for “Hi °C (Hi °F)” appears. The measurement time is very quick compared to conventional thermometers and is only 10 seconds for the rectal measurement. More accurate measurements are possible by extending the measurement time beyond below. The customer or the user of the BY 11 should assure that it is used in such an environment.

After this process, the thermometer shows the word OFF in the display and switches off automatically.

Turning volume on and off again
Turn the device on and the speaker symbol [15] shows whether the voice function is on or off. Press the Set S button to turn the voice function on and off. When you turn the voice function on, a short beep sounds (speaker symbol visible = voice function on; speaker symbol not visible = voice function off).

6. What you should know about using this thermometer
There are different thermometers for taking temperature measurements in different parts of the body:

• Ear/forehead thermometer (this thermometer, for measuring in the ear or on the forehead area)
• Rod thermometer (for rectal [in the back passage], axillary [under the arm] or oral measurement [in the mouth])

Taking the temperature gives a measurement that provides information about a person’s current body temperature. If you are uncertain about interpreting the results or if the value is abnormal, please consult your doctor. This also applies in the case of slight temperature changes if there are other symptoms of illness such as agitation, severe sweating, flushed skin, fast pulse rate, tendency to collapse, etc.

Temperatures measured with different thermometers cannot be compared with one another. You should therefore tell your doctor (or bear in mind if you are diagnosing yourself) what thermometer you used to take your temperature and in what part of the body.

The temperature of a healthy person is influenced by various factors: individual metabolic rate, which depends on the person, age (body temperature of infants and small children is higher and decreases as they age). Greater temperature fluctuations occur faster and more often in children, e.g. due to growth spurts), their clothing, the ambient temperature, the time of day (body temperature is lower in the morning and increases throughout the day towards evening), the preceding physical and, to a lesser extent, mental activity.

The temperature varies depending on the part of the body where the measurement is taken. The difference can be between 0.4 °F (0.2 °C) and 1.8 °F (1 °C) for a healthy person. The normal temperature ranges are as follows:

• on the forehead: 96.4 °F – 99.7 °F (35.8 °C – 37.6 °C), with a forehead thermometer,
• in the ear: 96.8 °F – 100 °F (36.0 °C – 37.8 °C), with an ear thermometer,
• in the back passage: 97.3 °F – 100 °F (36.3 °C – 37.8 °C), with a conventional thermometer,
• in the mouth: 96.8 °F – 99.3 °F (36.0 °C – 37.4 °C), with a conventional thermometer.

In order to track temperature change, always take the measurements in the same part of the body.

7. Measuring
Before each use, please check that the lens is intact. If it is damaged, please contact your retailer or the service address. Bear in mind that the thermometer needs to have been in the room in which the measurement is taken for at least 30 minutes before use.

Measuring body temperature in the ear

• Some people produce different readings in their left and right ear. In order to record temperature changes, always measure a person’s temperature in the same ear.
• The ear thermometer may be used by children only under adult supervision. Measurement is usually possible over the age of 6 months. In infants under 6 months, the ear canal is still very narrow so the temperature of the eardrum often cannot be recorded and the result displayed is often too low. • The measurement must not be taken in an ear affected by inflammatory diseases (e.g. discharging pus or secretion), after possible ear injuries (e.g. eardrum damage) or in the healing period after operative procedures. In all of these cases, please consult your doctor.
• Use of the thermometer on different persons can be inappropriate in the event of certain acute infectious diseases because of the possible spread of germs despite cleaning and disinfection. If you have any doubts, please consult your doctor.
• This thermometer may only be used without a disposable protective cover.
• If you have been lying on one ear for some time, the temperature is slightly raised. Wait a little while or measurein the other ear.

 Getting to know your device

What is a digital EMS/TENS unit and what can it do?
Digital EMS/TENS units fall into the electrostimulation device category. They provide three basic functions suitable for combined operation:

1.  Electrical stimulation of nerve tracts (TENS)
2.  Electrical stimulation of muscle tissue (EMS)
3. A massage effect triggered by electrical signals

The unit also features two independent stimulation channels and four self-adhesive electrodes. It offers a wide range of functions for increasing general well-being, pain relief, maintaining physical fitness, relaxation, muscle revitalization and combating tiredness. For these purposes, you can either choose from pre-set programs or specify your own to suit your individual needs.

The principle of electrostimulation devices is based on the imitation of impulses in our bodies that are transferred to nerve and muscle fibres using electrodes via our skin. The electrodes can be applied to many parts of the body; the electrical impulses are completely harmless and virtually painless. In certain applications you will merely notice a slight tingling or vibrating sensation. The electrical impulses that are sent into the tissue influence the transmission
of stimulation into nerves, nerve centers and muscle groups in the application area.
Electrostimulation usually only has an effect after regular applications. With regard to muscles, electrostimulation does not replace regular training. However, it is a sensible, supplementary training element.

TENS, or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, relates to the electrical stimulation of the nerves via the skin. TENS is an effective non-pharmacological method of treating different types of pain that have a variety of causes. It has no side effects if administered correctly. The method has been clinically tested and approved and can be used for simple self-treatment. The pain-relieving or pain-suppressing effect is achieved by inhibiting the transference of pain to nerve fibres (caused mainly by high-frequency impulses) and by increasing the secretion of endorphins in the body. Their effect on the central nervous system reduces the sensation of pain. The method is scientifically substantiated and approved as a form of medical treatment.
Any symptoms that could be relieved using TENS must be checked by your GP. Your doctor will also give you instructions on how to carry out a TENS self-treatment regime.
TENS is clinically tested and approved to treat the following complaints:

• Back pain, particularly in the lumbar/cervical spine area
• Sore joints (e.g. knee, hip and shoulder joints)
•  Neuralgia
• Menstrual cramps in women
• Pain resulting from injury to the musculoskeletal system
• Pain caused by circulatory disorders
• Chronic pain with various causes.

Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is a widespread and generally recognized method and has been used in sports medicine and rehabilitation for years. In sports and fitness, EMS is used to complement conventional muscle training, to increase the performance of muscle groups and to adjust physical proportions to achieve the desired aesthetic results. There are two different types of EMS application: one is for targeted strengthening of the muscles (activating application), and the other is to achieve a relaxing, restful effect (relaxing application).
The activating application involves:

•  Muscle training to increase endurance and/or
•  Muscle training to support the strengthening of specific muscles or muscle groups, and to achieve the desired changes to physical proportions

The relaxing application involves:

•  Muscle relaxation for easing muscle tension
• Improving symptoms of muscular fatigue
• Acceleration of muscle regeneration after high muscle performance (e.g. after a marathon)

Thanks to integrated massage technology, digital EMS/TENS units are also able to relieve muscle tension and combat fatigue with a program based on the sensation and effects of a real massage.

The positioning suggestions and program tables in these instructions for use allow you to quickly and simply determine the corresponding application (depending on the affected area of the body) and set the unit to achieve the desired effects.

Thanks to the two separately adjustable channels, the digital EMS/TENS unit offers you the advantage of being able to set the intensity of the impulses independently from each other for two treatment areas on the body, for example to cover both sides of your body or to evenly stimulate larger areas of tissue. The option to individually set the intensity of each channel also enables you to treat two separate areas of the body simultaneously instead of having to treat the individual areas in turn, which saves you time.

Important notes

The device is not a substitute for medical consultation and treatment. Consult your doctor first if you are experiencing any pain or are suffering from an illness.
WARNING!
To avoid damage to health, we strongly advise against using the digital EMS/TENS unit in the following situations:

•  With implanted electrical devices (such as a pacemaker)
•  In the case of metal implants
•  If you use an insulin pump
• If you have a high temperature (e.g. > 39°C)
• If you have a known or acute cardiac arrhythmia, or disorders of the heart’s impulse and conduction system
• If you suffer from a seizure disorder (e.g. epilepsy)
• If you are pregnant
• If you have cancer
• After an operation, if strong muscle contractions could affect the healing process
  
•  The device must never be used near to the heart.
• The stimulation electrodes must not be placed on any part of the front ribcage (where the ribs and breastbone are located), especially not on the two large pectorals. this can increase the risk of ventricular fibrillation and induce cardiac arrest.
• On the skeletal skull structure, or around the mouth, throat or larynx
•  In the neck/carotid artery area
• In the genital area
•  On acutely or chronically diseased (injured or irritated) skin (e.g. inflamed skin – whether painful or not, reddened skin, rashes,
  e. g. allergies, burns, bruises, swellings, both open and healing wounds, and post-operative scars where the healing process could be affected)
• In humid environments (e.g. in the bathroom) or when bathing or showering
• Do not use after consuming alcohol
•  If connected to a high-frequency surgical device
•  In the case of acute or chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract
•  The stimulation should not be applied above or through the head, directly onto the eyes, covering the mouth, to the front of the neck (especially not to the carotid artery), or with the electrode surfaces placed on the chest and upper back or across the heart.

Before using the device, consult your doctor if any of the following applies to you: 

•  Serious illnesses, in particular if you suspect or have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, a blood coagulation disorder, propensity to thrombo-embolic conditions or recurrent malignant growths
•  Any skin conditions
•  Unexplained chronic pain in any part of the body
•  Diabetes
• Any sensory impairment that reduces the feeling of pain (e.g. metabolic disorders)
• If you are receiving medical treatment  In the event of complaints linked to stimulation treatment
•  If you suffer from persistently irritated skin due to long-term stimulation at the same electrode site

IMPORTANT!
Only use digital EMS/TENS units:

• On adults
• For the intended purpose and as specified in these instructions for use. Improper use can be dangerous.
• For external use
• With the original accessories supplied, which can be re-ordered. Failure to do so invalidates the warranty.

PRECAUTIONS:

• Always pull firmly on electrodes to remove them from the skin to prevent injuries in the unusual case of highly sensitive skin.
• Keep the device away from sources of heat and do not use it in close proximity (approx. 1 m) to shortwave or microwave devices (e.g. mobile phones), as doing so can result in unpleasant current peaks.
• Do not expose the device to direct sunlight or high temperatures.
• Protect the device from dust, dirt and humidity.
• Never immerse the device in water or other liquids.
• The device is suitable for self-treatment.
• For hygiene reasons, the electrodes may only be used on one person.
• If the device does not work properly, or you feel unwell or experience pain, stop using it immediately.
•  Switch off the unit or the respective channel first before removing or relocating electrodes to prevent unintentional stimulation.
•  Do not modify electrodes (e.g. by cutting them). This increases the current intensity, which is potentially hazardous (max. recommended output value for the electrodes is 9 mA/cm², an effective current intensity beyond 2 mA/cm² requires increased awareness).
• Do not use the device whilst asleep, driving a vehicle or operating machinery.
• Do not use whilst undertaking any activity where an unexpected reaction (e.g. strong muscle contractions even at low intensity) could be dangerous.
• Ensure that no metallic objects (e.g. belt buckles or necklaces) come into contact with the electrodes during stimulation. If you are wearing jewellery or have piercings in the area to be treated (e.g. a navel piercing), these must be removed before using the device. Failure to do so could result in spot burns.
•  Keep the device away from children.
• Make sure not to confuse the electrode cables including contacts with your headphones or other devices and do not connect the electrodes to other devices.
• Do not use the device whilst using other devices that transmit electrical impulses into your body.
•  Do not use in the vicinity of highly flammable substances, gases or explosives.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries and always use the same battery types.
•  During the initial few minutes, use the device while sitting or lying down to minimise the risk of injuries as a consequence of isolated cases of vagal responses (feeling of faintness). If you feel faint, immediately switch off the device, lie down and support the legs in an elevated position (approx. 5 – 10 min).
•  Treatment of the skin with moisturising lotions or ointments beforehand is not recommended as this considerably increases the electrode wear and may cause unpleasant current peaks.
• This device is not intended for use by children or people with restricted physical, sensory (e.g. reduced sensitivity to pain) or mental skills or a lack of experience and/or lack of knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person who is responsible for their safety or are instructed by such a person in how to use the device.
• If the adhesive capability of the adhesive electrodes decreases, please replace them immediately. Only use the device again with new adhesive electrodes. Otherwise the unequal adhesion of the adhesive electrodes may lead to skin injuries. Replace the electrodes with new ones after having used them 20 times at the latest.

WARNING!
Do not apply the electrodes to the front wall of the chest, i.e. do not massage the large left and right pectoral muscles.

 Information regarding the positioning of electrodes

It is fundamental to the intended success of electrostimulation applications that electrodes are positioned sensibly.
We recommend that you consult your doctor to establish the ideal electrode positions for your intended application area.
The figure on the display is intended as an initial aid to help you position the electrodes.
The following applies to the selection of electrode positions:
Electrode distance
The larger the distance between electrodes, the larger the stimulated tissue volume. This applies to the area and depth of the tissue volume. At the same time, however, the stimulation intensity of the tissue falls the further the electrodes are apart. As a result, greater distances between electrodes mean a larger tissue volume is stimulated, but less intensively. Consequently, you must increase the impulse intensity to boost stimulation.
The following guideline applies to selection of the electrode distance:

•  Sensible distance: approx. 5 – 15 cm
•  At distances below 5 cm, the unit primarily stimulates surface structures intensively
• At distances in excess of 15 cm, large areas and deep structures are stimulated very weakly

Relationship between electrodes and muscle fiber structures

Adapt the current flow direction to the fiber C structure of the muscle according to the muscle A layer you would like to treat. If you are targeting superficial muscles, position the electrodes in BBB DDD parallel to the fiber structure (A – B / C – D) and if you are targeting deeper layers of tissue, position the electrodes across the fiber structure. You can do this by positioning electrodes as crosses (i.e. diagonally), such as A – D / B – C.

 NOTE:

As part of pain relief treatment (TENS) using the digital EMS/TENS unit and its 2 separately adjustable channels and 2 adhesive electrodes each, it is advisable either to position the electrodes of a channel so that the area affected by the pain is between the electrodes or to position one electrode directly on the area affected by the pain and the other electrode at a minimum distance of 2 – 3 cm.

You may use the electrodes of the second channel to simultaneously treat additional areas affected by pain or use them in conjunction with the electrodes of the first channel to restrict the area affected by pain (position electrodes opposite). In this case, we once again recommend positioning electrodes as crosses.

Tip for the massage function: always use all four electrodes for optimum treatment.

Use the electrodes on skin that is clean and preferably free from hair and grease in order to prolong the life of the electrodes. If required, clean the skin with water and remove hair prior to treatment.

If an electrode should come loose during use, the impulse intensity of both channels is reduced to the lowest level. Apply the electrode again and reset the desired impulse intensity.

Current parameters

Electrostimulation units operate with the following current settings, which may affect stimulation effects differently, depending on the setting:
Impulse shape
This describes the time function of the electrical impulse.

Time It distinguishes between monophasic and biphasic pulse currents. In monophasic pulse currents, the current flows in one direction and in biphasic pulse currents the electrical impulse alternates its direction.
The digital EMS/TENS unit only provides biphasic pulse currents as these relieve muscles, cause little muscle fatigue and provide safer application.
Impulse frequency
The frequency indicates the number of individual impulses each second and is given in Hz (Hertz).
It can be calculated by determining the cyclic value for the time period. The relevant frequency determines which types of muscle fibres react favourably. Slow-reacting fibres react more easily to lower impulse frequencies up to 15 Hz, whereas fast-reacting fibres only respond from approximately 35 Hz onwards. Impulses of approx. 45 – 70 Hz are linked with constant tension in the muscles and quicker fatigue. Higher impulse frequencies are therefore favourable in strength and maximum power training.

Impulse width
This indicates the duration of an individual impulse in microseconds. The impulse width therefore determines, among other things, the penetration of the electricity, where usually: larger muscle masses require larger impulse widths.

Impulse intensity
Setting the intensity levels depends on the individual sensitivity of each user and is determined by a variety of variables, such as site of application, blood circulation to the skin, skin thickness and the quality of the electrode contact. The setting used should be effective but should never cause an unpleasant sensation, such as pain, at the site of application. While a gentle tingling indicates sufficient stimulation energy levels, any setting that causes pain should be avoided.
During longer applications it may be necessary to make readjustments due to the adjustment processes over time at the site of application.

Cycled impulse parameter variation
In many cases it is necessary to cover the overall tissue structure at the site of application by applying several impulse parameters. In the digital EMS/TENS unit, this is achieved by the provided programs, which automatically make a cyclical impulse parameter change. This also prevents individual muscle groups at the site of application being affected by fatigue.
The digital EMS/TENS unit provides sensible default current parameter settings. With this, you can change the impulse intensity at any time during use. For 6 programs you can also set various parameters for stimulation yourself.

Problems/solutions

The device does not switch when the ON/OFF button is pressed. How to proceed:

1.  Ensure batteries have been inserted correctly and are in contact with the terminals.
2. Replace batteries, if applicable.
3.  Contact Customer Services.
   Electrodes do not adhere to the body. How to proceed:
   (1) Clean the adhesive surface of the electrodes using a damp, lint-free cloth. Replace the electrodes if they still do not adhere securely.
   (2) Clean the skin prior to any application; do not use skincare lotions or oils prior to treatment. Shaving may increase the life of electrodes.

There is no noticeable stimulation. How to proceed:

1. Press the ON/OFF button to interrupt the program. Check the connection cables are correctly connected to the electrodes. Ensure the electrodes are in firm contact with the treatment area.
2. Ensure the connection plug is firmly connected to the device.
3.  Press the ON/OFF button to restart the program
4. Check electrode positions and ensure that adhesive electrodes do not overlap.
5. Gradually increase the impulse intensity.
6.  The batteries are almost empty. Replace the batteries.

The battery symbol is shown. How to proceed:
Replace all batteries.
You have an unpleasant sensation at the electrodes. How to proceed:

1.  The electrodes are not positioned correctly. Check their positions and re-position, if necessary.
2.  The electrodes are worn. This may cause irritated skin as even distribution of the current across the entire area is no longer guaranteed. For this reason, replace the electrodes.

Skin in the treatment area turns red. How to proceed: Immediately stop treatment and wait until your skin has returned to its normal condition. If the redness is under the electrode and disappears quickly, there is no risk – this is caused by the locally stimulated, increased blood flow.
However, consult your doctor before you continue treatment if the skin irritation persists and this is accompanied by an itchy sensation or inflammation. This may be caused by an allergic reaction to the adhesive surface.
