Ear and temple thermometer

SC 53 TM

Device description:

Then, after a segment test, the device shows you the temperature last
measured. When the device emits a double deep the SC 53 TM is ready to
measure. Apply the device to your temple, press the On/Off button (0/I) and rub
the sensor gently across your temple. A beep sounds after 2 to 3 seconds, and
the measurement is complete. The sensor should be continuously applied to
the skin during the measurement.
4. Measuring the body temperature in the ear
Pull off the cap for measuring the temple temperature. Press the On/Off button
(0/I) and keep it pressed down, guide the sensor into the auditory canal and
then release the On/Off button. After 2 to 3 seconds, a beep signals the end of
the measurement. When inserting the thermometer, you should pull your ear
lobe slightly to the rear in order to straighten out the natural curve of the
auditory canal.

We congratulate you on the purchase of this SCALA quality product. In order to

use all the benefits of this device, you should read through the instruction
manual before using it for the first time. Keep it in a safe place for reference at a
later date. The SC 53 TM will give you reliable service for many years.
Special features:
With the SC 53 TM, you can measure your body temperature with a
measurement at the temple or in the ear depending on the measuring mode
selected.
The SC 53 TM is also suitable for measuring surrounding temperatures
between 10 C and 50 C.
When the SC 53 TM is not measuring your body temperature, it shows the
time and the surrounding temperature.
The device shows you the last measured value before every new
measurement.
After making a temperature measurement, the device switches over to
standby after approx.1 minute to save the battery, and shows the time and
surrounding temperature.

Please note that the measured values at the temple and in the ear are
seldom the same. This is due to the differences in heat emission in the
human body. The surface temperature on the temple is always slightly
lower than that in the ear.

Safety information:
The thermometer contains small parts (batteries etc) which can be
swallowed by small children and are therefore highly dangerous. Please
keep the batteries and the thermometer out of the reach of small children. If
the battery or another part is swallowed, you must seek medical help
immediately.
The battery supplied may not be recharged or reactivated by other methods,
and may not be taken apart, thrown into fires or short-circuited. Batteries
must be disposed of properly. Battery disposal containers are provided in all
shops selling batteries in addition to communal waste collection points.
Protect the SC 53 TM from sunlight, temperatures over 50 C and from
penetrating water.
Do not drop the SC 53 TM, and only open it to replace batteries.

Instruction manual:

Please note:
Normal thermometers "feel" the temperature of the object to be measured by
contact. The SC 53 TM works on the basis of infrared and "sees" the
temperature. The SC 53 TM's "eye" is the sensor. If the sensor is soiled, or the
temple covered in sweat or makeup, the thermometer will not be able to deliver
the correct measured results. High variations in room temperature (window
open) also lead to deviations in temperature measurements.
Correct measured results can only occur in rooms at normal temperatures
and using persons who have been sitting quietly in this room for at least
10 minutes.
Changing the battery: As soon as the
" symbol flashes in the
display, the battery is exhausted and must be replaced. Replace it with a
battery of the same type (CR 2032). Open the battery compartment as
described in Point 1, "Setting the time". Please ensure the battery is inserted
the right way round. You can obtain batteries in watchmaker's or electrical
shops.
