3. Operating Instructions
The OxiPro TH2 offers four distinct measurement modes and clear, color-coded results.
3.1. Understanding Measurement Modes
Image: A visual representation of the OxiPro TH2's four measurement modes: Adult Forehead, Child Forehead, In-Ear, and Surface temperature, illustrating its versatility.
- Adult Forehead (>12 Years): For non-contact forehead temperature measurement in individuals aged 12 years and older.
- Child Forehead (<12 Years): For non-contact forehead temperature measurement in children under 12 years.
- In-Ear: For accurate temperature measurement directly from the ear canal. This mode is activated by removing the probe cap.
- Surface (e.g., Bottle / Bath): For measuring the temperature of objects or liquids, such as baby bottles or bath water.
3.2. Switching Modes
To switch between modes, gently touch the 'M' button on the device. The display icons will change to indicate the currently selected mode.
3.3. Taking a Measurement
- Forehead Mode (Non-Touch): Ensure the probe cap is on. Hold the thermometer approximately 1-3 cm from the center of the forehead. Press the measurement button. The reading will appear on the display within one second.
- In-Ear Mode: Remove the probe cap. Gently insert the probe into the ear canal. The built-in LED light assists in accurate alignment, especially in low light conditions. Press the measurement button. The reading will appear on the display.
- Surface Mode: Ensure the probe cap is on. Point the thermometer at the surface or liquid you wish to measure. Press the measurement button. The reading will appear on the display.

- Green Backlight: Indicates a normal temperature.
- Orange Backlight: Indicates a raised temperature.
- Red Backlight: Warns of a fever.
Results are displayed to 0.1°C.
4. Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your OxiPro TH2 thermometer.
- Cleaning: The thermometer should be wiped clean after each use. Use a soft cloth dampened with alcohol (70% isopropyl) to clean the probe and the body of the device. Do not immerse the thermometer in water or any other liquid.
- Storage: Store the thermometer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep it out of reach of children.
- Battery Replacement: When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace both AAA batteries promptly. Ensure correct polarity.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your OxiPro TH2 thermometer, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Inaccurate or fluctuating readings | Incorrect measurement technique; dirty probe; environmental factors (drafts, extreme temperatures); low battery. | Ensure proper distance and angle for forehead mode. Clean the probe thoroughly. Allow thermometer to acclimatize to room temperature for 30 minutes before use. Replace batteries. |
| Display not lighting up or device not turning on | Dead or incorrectly inserted batteries. | Check battery polarity. Replace with new AAA batteries. |
| Color-coded backlight not changing | Software glitch; specific temperature range not met for color change. | Restart the device. Ensure the temperature reading falls within the thresholds for orange or red indication. |
| Error message on display | Device malfunction; out of operating temperature range. | Refer to the specific error code in the full instruction manual. Ensure ambient temperature is within specified operating range. Contact customer support if the issue persists. |
