WTE220 USER MANUAL
Accumulation of ear wax on the probe tip can result in less accurate tempera-
ture readings or cross infection between users. Therefore, it is essential that a
clean probe tip is used before each measurement. For cleaning, please follow
the instructions in the (Cleaning and Storage) section.
After cleaning the probe tip with alcohol, it is necessary to wait 5 minutes be-
fore taking the next measurement, in order to allow the thermometer to reach
its operating reference temperature.

may be different from the right ear and left ear.
