5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Measurement Modes

The TH-1 thermometer supports four distinct measurement modes:

• Forehead Mode: For non-contact measurement of body temperature from the forehead. The magnetic probe cover should be attached.
• Ear Mode: For in-ear measurement of body temperature. Remove the magnetic probe cover to activate this mode. An ear-canal light will illuminate.
• Object Mode: For measuring the surface temperature of objects, such as baby bottles or bath water. This mode is typically activated when the magnetic probe cover is removed (AMS technology).
