1.1 Thank you very much!
Congratulations on your purchase and thank you for your
confidence!
By purchasing the FTO infra-red thermometer, you have gained
a high-quality product made by MEDISANA.
To ensure the best results and long-term satisfaction with your
MEDISANA FTO Infra-red Ear Thermometer, we recommend
that you read the following operating and maintenance instruc-
tions carefully.
Ihre MEDISANA AG
1.2 Important
1.2.1 When taking body temperature
To ensure an accurate reading, it is crucial that the sensor is
angled towards the ear drum and inserted sufficiently deeply
into the auditory canal.
Some people produce different results in the left and right
ear. In order to accurately measure changes in temperature,
always take readings in the same ear with any given person.
The position in which you sleep can influence readings. If
someone has been lying on one ear for a long period of time,
the temperature in that ear will be higher than normal. In this
case, either use the other ear or wait a few minutes before
taking a reading.
Earwax can influence the accuracy of a reading. If necessary,
clean the ear and the sensor tip of the thermometer before
taking a reading in order to prevent inaccurate results.
1.2.2 General tips
Only use the unit for the specific purpose described in the
operating instructions. Any misuse will void the warranty.
The unit is not designed for commercial use.
Do not let children use the unit. Medical products are not
toys!
If a fault occurs or the unit is damaged, do not attempt to
repair the unit yourself, as this will void the warranty. Contact
your dealer and only have repairs carried out by authorized
service partners.
Do not immerse the thermometer in water or other liquids.
However, should moisture somehow get into the unit, re-
move the battery and do not take any further readings with
the thermometer. Before any further use, contact your
specialist dealer or MEDISANA directly.
Do not shake or tap the thermometer.

1.4 Useful information on taking temperature
with the MEDISANA FTO infra-red ear
thermometer
1.4.1 What is fever?
Our normal body temperature is between 36 °C and 37,5 °C.
Fluctuations are quite normal, depending on time of day and the
body’s condition, for example in the female menstruation cycle.
However, when body temperature rises above 38 °C, the
phenomenon is known as fever.
Fever often occurs in the case of infections, and is a sign that the
body’s immune system is working overtime. This perfectly nor-
mal reaction to foreign bodies, germs and microorganisms
should be checked at regular intervals. If the fever should exceed
39° C and not fall again within 1 to 2 days, you should definite-
ly contact your doctor.
1.4.2 Taking a temperature reading –
quickly and accurately!
A fever is often associated with fatigue, pains in the limbs, shi-
vering and chills. The course of an illness can be best monitored
by taking a temperature reading 2 to 3 times a day at 4 to 6
hour intervals. Readings should always be taken in the same ear
and at approximately the same time so that the results can be
compared.
Using the MEDISANA FTO ear thermometer to take an infra-
red temperature reading in the ear is ideal for this task, as the
eardrum shares a common blood supply with the nearby tem-
perature-regulating centre of the brain. Because of this, variati-
ons in body temperature are shown very accurately and without
any significant delay.
1.4.3 Taking other temperature readings
As well as the important function of taking body temperature,
the MEDISANA FTO infra-red ear thermometer can also be
used to measure the temperature of objects (e.g. babies’ bott-
les) and liquids (e.g. bath water). It is even possible to use the
unit to measure ambient temperature.

2 Operation
GB
2.1 Getting started
Removing / inserting batteries
A battery providing power for approx. 1000 readings is already
inserted in the MEDISANA FTO infra-red ear thermometer.
Should the battery symbol in the LCD display start to flash after
an extended period of use, the battery (CR-2032 type) must be
replaced.
Removal:
Gently pull off the cover of the battery compartment from the
infra-red thermometer. Remove the battery by carefully levering
it out of the mounting with a pointed object.
Insertion:
Insert the new battery (CR 2032 type) with the positive pole
pointing upwards. Replace the cover and push it up until you
hear it snap into place.
2.2 Operation
Remove the protective cap from the MEDISANA FTO infra-red
ear thermometer.
There is no need to attach a special probe cover to the sensor
area, as the sensor is completely sealed (see also: cleaning and
maintenance tips).
2.2.1 Switching on
Press the ON/OFF button
, to be found directly below the
LCD display
. All display symbols and the result of the last
reading taken will appear for about 2 seconds, after which the
backlight for the display will switch off. As soon as the unit is
ready to use, you will hear a short tone. The LCD display now
shows a thermometer symbol and the chosen unit of measure-
ment. “°C” indicates that the results will be displayed in de-
grees Centigrade, while “°F” means that body temperature
will be displayed in degrees Fahrenheit.
The measuring range of the MEDISANA FTO infra-red thermo-
meter is from 0 °C to 100 °C (32 °F to 212 °F), displayed in steps
of 0,1 °C or 0,1 °F.
2.2.2 Taking a body temperature reading
Tilt the patient’s head slightly in the opposite direction and sup-
port the head (especially in the case of children). Pull on the ear
slightly in order to straighten the auditory canal. Carefully
insert the sensor into the auditory canal. If you are taking
your own temperature, use one hand to pull on the ear and the
other to operate the thermometer.
13
GB
2 Operation
Once the sensor is correctly positioned in the auditory canal, use
your index finger to press the START button
on the back of
the unit. When the reading is successfully completed, you will
hear a short tone and can remove the unit from the ear. The
display will immediately show the temperature measured and
automatically store the result. In the case of a raised body
temperature (above 37,5 °C / 99,5 °F) you will hear 10 short
tones after the reading has been taken.
After approx. 5 seconds, the unit will be ready to take another
reading when the unit of measurement symbol (°C / °F) starts
to flash. After taking 3 – 5 consecutive readings, wait for
approx. 30 seconds before taking a further reading.
In each of the following cases, you should take three consecu-
tive readings in the same ear, using the highest reading as a
reference:
With newly born children under 3 months old.
With children under 3 years of age who suffer from diseases
of the immune system, and with persons for whom devi-
ations from normal body temperature can be dangerous.
If you are not familiar with taking temperature and there are
large discrepancies between consecutive readings.
2.2.3 Other temperature readings
The infra-red thermometer can also be used to measure the
temperature of surfaces, such as the skin or of babies’ bottles.
To do this, switch on the thermometer and hold the sensor
gently against the object to be measured. After you hear a short
tone, the unit is ready to use. Give the START button
a short
press and keep the thermometer in place until a long tone
sounds, signalling the end of the reading.
The result is shown on the backlit LCD display and stored auto-
matically. If the result is not within the range 32 °C to 42,2 °C,
a crossed-out ear symbol will appear in the display.
When measuring the temperature of liquids, e.g. drinks, bath
water etc., you must only insert the light-grey sensor tip. Make
sure that no liquid can get into the unit.
2.2.4 Switching off
The thermometer features an energy-saving function and
will switch off automatically if no buttons are pressed for
45 seconds. You may also switch off the unit with a short press
of the ON/OFF button
.

3 Memory
GB
3.1 Recalling stored data
The MEDISANA FTO infra-red ear thermometer can store up to
12 results.
You can call up your stored data with a short press of the START
button
, without having previously switched on the thermo-
meter with the ON/OFF button
. The symbol M will flash on
the display next to “- - -“. After a further short press of the
START button
, memory slot number 1 will appear in the unlit
display, followed directly by the last stored temperature reading.
The symbol M will flash below the unit of measurement.
With a further press of the START button
, you can call up
the result stored in memory slot “2”. A total of 12 memory slots
are available, and these will be displayed in order if you continue
to press the START button
.
If a memory slot is empty, the symbol “- - -“ will appear next to
it in the display.
3.2 Changing the unit of measurement
When taking temperature, you have the choice between degre-
es centigrade and degrees Fahrenheit.
Proceed as follows:
1. The unit must be switched off.
2. Hold down the START button
on the back of the unit for
at least 10 – 15 seconds until the current unit of measure-
ment is shown in the display.
3. You can now change the unit of measurement with a further
short press of the START button
. Once the desired unit of
measurement is displayed, wait until all the display symbols
flash in the illuminated display and the change is confirmed
with a short tone. Directly after this, the thermometer is ready
to take the next reading with the newly selected unit of
measurement.
4. At the same time, all stored data is automatically converted
to the new unit of measurement..
