How to Use the Beurer FT 58 Ear Thermometer

Initial Setup: Insert the two AAA batteries included with your Beurer Ear Thermometer FT 58. To set the time and date, press the start button and use the controls to adjust hours and minutes. To change between Celsius and Fahrenheit, press and hold the start button for 3 seconds on the powered-off device, then use the start button to select your preferred temperature unit.

Taking a Temperature Reading: Before each measurement, place a clean protective cap onto the device. Once powered on, three acoustic signals will sound and the display illuminates. Gently pull the ear slightly upward and backward, then carefully insert the sensor tip into the ear canal. Press the start button to begin measurement. A beep signals the end of measurement. The Beurer FT 58 infrared ear thermometer will display the temperature result with corresponding audio signals indicating the temperature range.

Interpreting Results: A single short acoustic signal indicates temperature under 38°C with a smiling smiley face displayed. Two short signals (temperature between 37.5-37.9°C) serve as a warning for rising temperature. One short signal followed by three longer signals indicates temperature at or above 38°C with a sad smiley face appearing on the display, triggering the fever alarm.

Switching Measurement Modes: To alternate between body temperature and object temperature mode, briefly press and hold both the on/off button and start button simultaneously. The device automatically switches off after 1 minute of inactivity.

Accessing Memory: To review your last 10 measurements stored in the Beurer Ear Thermometer FT 58, press the M/up button for three seconds on the powered-on device, then press the on/off button again to view individual readings.
