To help ensure an accurate temperature reading, use the following technique: If you are right handed, hold the thermometer in the right hand and take the temperature in the right ear. If you are left handed, hold it in the left hand and use the left ear.
3.Perform an ear tug to straighten the ear canal. This gives the thermometer a clear view of the eardrum.
Children under 1 year: Pull the ear straight back.
Children aged 1 year to adult: Pull the ear up and back.
An ear tug is best performed by using your free hand to grasp the outer edge of the top half of the ear. To take your own temperature, wrap your free hand around the back of your head and grab your ear from behind.
4.While tugging the ear, fit the probe snugly into the ear canal as far as possible and press the activation button. Release it when you hear a beep. This is the Temp Beep that confirms the end of measurement.
5.Remove the thermometer from the ear canal. The LCD displays the temperature measured.
6.Replace the lens filter after each measure- ment: press the ejector button and put on a new, clean lens filter.
7.A new measurement can be taken as long as
the ready symbol 
is shown. If no button is pressed within 2 minutes, the thermometer will turn off automatically.
