Description

The RA600 is engineered with comfort and precision in mind. Its ergonomic design fits comfortably in the hand, allowing for easy insertion into the ear canal. The thermometer is also equipped with a soft, flexible tip to minimize discomfort during measurement. The large LCD display shows temperature readings in both Celsius and Fahrenheit, and the fever indicator alerts users to elevated temperatures. This device is particularly useful for parents who need to monitor their children's health quickly and accurately.

How to use the RA600 Infrared Ear Thermometer

  1. To achieve accurate readings, make sure a new, clean probe cover is in place before each measurement and the ear canal is clean.
    1. Install the probe cover by clockwise rotating then fix it.
    2. Remove the probe cover by anti-clockwise rotating then releasing it.
  2. Press the “On/Off/Memory” button, the thermometer is ready for use after the ear icon is flashing, two beeps are sounded, and three dash segments are appeared.
  3. Gently pull the ear back to straighten the ear canal and snugly position the probe into the ear canal, aiming towards the membrane of the eardrum to obtain an accurate reading.
    1. Before measurement, correct installation of the probe cover ensures accurate measurement.

      how_to_use_the_ra600_infrared_ear_thermometer.png
    2. Replace the probe cover after each use to ensure an accurate reading and avoid cross contamination.
    3. This thermometer must only be used with rossmax probe covers, other covers can lead to inaccuracy. If running out of probe covers, please contact with the original seller or distributor for buying new probe covers.
  4. Measuring the ear temperature: Use the index finger to trigger, by pressing “Start” button, a long beep will be sounded when measurement is done.
  5. For the next measurement, remove the used probe cover and put on a new one.
  6. Power off: If left idle for more than 1 minute, device will automatically shut off for extending battery life. Or press “On/Off/Memory” button for at least 3 seconds to turn the device off.
  7. Fever alarm: When the measuring temperature is higher than 37.5 °C(93.2°F), the reading will flash, the backlight will be enabled, and 4 short beeps will be sounded. If measuring temperature is higher than 42.2 °C(108°F), the display will show “Hi”, the backlight will be enabled, and 4 short beeps will be sounded.
    1. It is recommended that you measure 3 times with the same ear within a short period of time. If the 3 consecutive measurements are different, select the highest temperature.
    2. To avoid the risk of cross contamination, please clean the probe according to “Clean and Storage“ section after each use.

Scanning Mode

If you continuously obtain different measurement results, it is recom-mended that you use Scanning Mode to measure.

Measuring the ear temperature: Use the index finger to trigger, press and hold the “Start” button for 3 seconds to take measurement. During the measuring process, gently pivoting the probe side-to-side to view the entire ear canal or in order to find the highest tempera-ture. Release the “Start” button until hearing a long beep sound and the measurement is completed

Enabling or disabling the beep sound

  1. Turn off the device.
  2. Hold down the “Start” button, then press and hold the“ON/OFF/ Memory” button until the LCD shows °C.
  3. Press the “ON/OFF/Memory” change beep sound from on to off, then release the “ON/OFF/Memory” button.
