4.4 Fieberalarm

If the measured temperature exceeds a certain threshold (typically 37.8°C or 100°F), the thermometer will emit a rapid series of beeps to indicate a fever.

5. Wartung

Proper care and maintenance ensure the longevity and accuracy of your thermometer.

5.1 Reinigung und Desinfektion

After each use, clean the thermometer tip with a soft cloth and isopropyl alcohol or cold soapy water. Rinse thoroughly with cold water and dry. Do not immerse the entire thermometer in water or use harsh chemical cleaners.

• Keine oder nur schwache Anzeige: Check the battery. Replace if necessary. Ensure the battery is inserted with correct polarity.
• 'Lo' or 'Hi' Display: 'Lo' indicates a temperature below the measurable range (e.g., below 32.0°C / 90.0°F). 'Hi' indicates a temperature above the measurable range (e.g., above 42.9°C / 109.9°F). Ensure proper placement and contact during measurement.
• Ungenaue Messwerte: Ensure the thermometer tip is clean. Verify proper placement and sufficient measurement time (60 seconds). Avoid taking measurements immediately after eating, drinking, or exercising.
• Thermometer schaltet sich nicht ein: Check battery installation. Replace battery if it is old or depleted.
