 Very good thermometer (muy buen termometro) August 9, 2007
1 out of 1 found this comment useful.
Lo compre directo a amazon, y les dire que es una muy buen termometro, las mediciones son bastante exactas y es solo cention de aprender como utilizarlo, pues son solo 4 pasos;
1)presionar el boton para encenderlo.
2)colocarlo en el conducto auditivo externo con mucha delicadeza hasta escuchar un bip...
3)Luego moverlo con mucho cuidado de derecha a izquierda hasta escuchar 2 bip.
4) luego de esto sin moverlo, presionar el boton denuevo hasta escuchar 4 bip.
No tiene complicacion, es solo algo de practica.
I buy it direct from amazon, and I say to them that it is a very good thermometer, the measurements are quite exact and is single question to learn like using it, because 4 steps are single;
1) to press the button to ignite it.
2) to place it in the external auditory conduit with much gentleness until listening to bip...
3) Soon to move it by far well-taken care of of right to left until listening to 2 bip.
4) after this without moving it, again pressing the button until listening to 4 bip.
It does not have complication, is single something of practices.
 A decent ear thermometer. May 17, 2007

This thermometer works like this:
you press a button to turn it on, you'll hear 1 beep to signal battery is ok. Then you stick it in the ear, and wiggle it around until you hear two beep which signals that you've positioned it correctly. Once you hear the two beeps, hold it in that position and press the button again to mark the result.
Ignore the other reviewers' comments on inaccuracy.
The key to this and *ALL* ear thermometers is you have to practice getting it placed correctly in the ear channel. At least this model tells you that you've put it in the correct position, with the 2 beeps sequence. Once you've practiced getting it right, I get fairly consistent readings.
The difference between this and a $10 rectal thermometer reading is 0.2*F. The difference can easily be accounted for because you're measuring two different parts of the body.
This model is spec'd to be accurate within +/- 0.5* F, (same as the $10 rectal thermometer, by the way).
Even though I don't know how accurate other brand's are spec'd to be, but I'm pretty sure you can't get much better than this in terms of accuracy. For goodness sacks, temperature readings could be thrown off by 1 or 2*F by the earwax in your ear or whether you had a cold beverage in the past couple of minutes.
Expecting any more is unreasonable in my opinion.
Excellent thermometer May 2, 2007
It is the best option for children, express, comfortable, exact. To already take the temperature him to the children is pleasing, safe, without traumas, they appreciated it.
 Advanced temperature scanning? Yeah right.. January 23, 2007

I think you could get a more accurate temperature by licking your finger and sticking it in someone's ear. This thing is a joke. I'm reasonably sure my body temperature wasn't 95 degrees.
Nice January 3, 2007

A little different than what I thought it would look like, but nice. I love omron products.
