Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to
Philips! To fully benefit from the support that
Philips offers, register your product at
www.philips.com/welcome.
Intended use
The product is intended for measuring the tempera
ture of the human body via the ear canal by an
infrared sensor. The device is intended for all ages
in a home environment.
General
This Philips ear thermometer has been developed
for accurate and fast human body temperature
measurements in the ear.
Research indicates that the ear is an ideal site for
taking thebody temperature. The body tempera
ture is regulated by the hypothalamus (Fig. 2). The
hypothalamus (1) shares the same blood supply as
the tympanic membrane (2).
Measurement results can be transmitted via
Bluetooth® Smart to the Philips HealthSuite health
app for charting and tracking purposes.

Tips for proper measurement
External factors can influence your body tempera
ture. In the following cases, wait at least30
minutes before taking your temperature:
- When you have been lying on your ear
- When you had your ears covered
- When you have been exposed to very low or
very high temperatures
- When you have been swimming or bathing
- If you wear earplugs or hearing aids, remove
them first
We do not advise you touse the device in the fol
lowing circumstances as this may cause inaccurate
measurements:
- When the temperature of the storage area dif
fers from the temperature of the measuring
area. In this case, wait at least30 minutes
before you use the device.
- If you are using ear drops or other ear medica
tion. In this case, measure the temperature in
the untreated ear (if any).
Body temperature
Normal body temperature is a range. A person's
normaltemperature range tends to decrease with
age. The following table shows normal tempera
ture ranges by age.
The range of normal body temperature varies from
person to person and can be influenced by many
factors such as time of day, level of activity and
emotions.

Intended use
The product is intended for measuring the tempera
ture of the human body via the ear canal by an
infrared sensor. The device is intended for all ages
in a home environment.
General
This Philips ear thermometer has been developed
for accurate and fast human body temperature
measurements in the ear.
Research indicates that the ear is an ideal site for
taking thebody temperature. The body temperatu
re is regulated by the hypothalamus (Fig. 2). The
hypothalamus (1) shares the same blood supply as
the tympanic membrane (2).
Measurement results can be transmitted via
Bluetooth® Smart to the Philips HealthSuite health
app for charting and tracking purposes.

Measuring temperature
Tips for proper measurement
External factors can influence your body tempera
ture. In the following cases, wait at least30 mi
nutes before taking your temperature:
- When you have been lying on your ear
- When you had your ears covered
- When you have been exposed to very low or ve
ry high temperatures
- When you have been swimming or bathing
- If you wear earplugs or hearing aids, remove
them first
We do not advise you touse the device in the follo
wing circumstances as this may cause inaccurate
measurements:
- When the temperature of the storage area dif
fers from the temperature of the measuring
area. In this case, wait at least30 minutes be
fore you use the device.
- If you are using ear drops or other ear medica
tion. In this case, measure the temperature in
the untreated ear (if any).
Body temperature
Normal body temperature is a range. A person's
normaltemperature range tends to decrease with
age. The following table shows normal tempera
ture ranges by age.
The range of normal body temperature varies from
person to person and can be influenced by many
factors such as time of day, level of activity and
emotions.

Tips for proper measurement
External factors can influence your body tempera
ture. In the following cases, wait at least30 minu
tes before taking your temperature:
- When you have been lying on your ear
- When you had your ears covered
- When you have been exposed to very low or ve
ry high temperatures
- When you have been swimming or bathing
- If you wear earplugs or hearing aids, remove
them first
We do not advise you touse the device in the follo
wing circumstances as this may cause inaccurate
measurements:
- When the temperature of the storage area dif
fers from the temperature of the measuring
area. In this case, wait at least30 minutes befo
re you use the device.
- If you are using ear drops or other ear medicati
on. In this case, measure the temperature in the
untreated ear (if any).
Body temperature
Normal body temperature is a range. A person's
normaltemperature range tends to decrease with
age. The following table shows normal tempera
ture ranges by age.
The range of normal body temperature varies from
person to person and can be influenced by many
factors such as time of day, level of activity and
emotions.

Measuring temperature
Tips for proper measurement
External factors can influence your body tempera
ture. In the following cases, wait at least30 minu
tes before taking your temperature:
- When you have been lying on your ear
- When you had your ears covered
- When you have been exposed to very low or ve
ry high temperatures
- When you have been swimming or bathing
- If you wear earplugs or hearing aids, remove
them first
We do not advise you touse the device in the follo
wing circumstances as this may cause inaccurate
measurements:
- When the temperature of the storage area dif
fers from the temperature of the measuring
area. In this case, wait at least30 minutes befo
re you use the device.
- If you are using ear drops or other ear medica
tion. In this case, measure the temperature in
the untreated ear (if any).
Body temperature
Normal body temperature is a range. A person's
normaltemperature range tends to decrease with
age. The following table shows normal temperatu
re ranges by age.
The range of normal body temperature varies from
person to person and can be influenced by many
factors such as time of day, level of activity and
emotions.
