How to use the RA600 Infrared Ear Thermometer
- To achieve accurate readings, make sure a new, clean probe cover is in place before each measurement and the ear canal is clean.
- Install the probe cover by clockwise rotating then fix it.
- Remove the probe cover by anti-clockwise rotating then releasing it.
- 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.
- 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.
Before measurement, correct installation of the probe cover ensures accurate measurement.
- Replace the probe cover after each use to ensure an accurate reading and avoid cross contamination.
- 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.
- Measuring the ear temperature: Use the index finger to trigger, by pressing “Start” button, a long beep will be sounded when measurement is done.
- For the next measurement, remove the used probe cover and put on a new one.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
- Turn off the device.
- Hold down the “Start” button, then press and hold the“ON/OFF/ Memory” button until the LCD shows °C.
- Press the “ON/OFF/Memory” change beep sound from on to off, then release the “ON/OFF/Memory” button.
- After 6 seconds without changing, the beep On/Off setting will be completed, and the unit will be entered into the measurement mode.
Switching between temperature scale Fahrenheit and Celsius
To change the Unit from °C to °F:
- Turn off the device.
- Hold down the “Start” button, then press and hold the“ON/OFF/Memory” button until the LCD shows °C.
- Press the “Start” to change the °C to °F, then release the “Start” button.
- During the setting adjustment, each old or new temperature scale setting will be flashing for 6 seconds. After 6 seconds without changing, the temperature scale adjustment will be completed, and the unit will be entered into measurement mode
Memory function
- There are total 9 set memories for measurement records. If the reading of the thermometers is within the normal temperature range of 34 °C to 42.2 °C (93.2 °F to 108°F ), when the measurement is done, the measurement data is saved into memory.
- Press “On/Off/Memory” button to repeatedly to recall each temperature memory.
Setup Guide
To operate the Rossmax Ear Thermometer RA600,
- Start by ensuring the battery compartment is closed securely and the protective cap is removed. Insert the thermometer gently into the ear canal, aiming for the eardrum.
