Safety & Warnings
Read the following precautions carefully before using the thermometer:
Attention
•
Take extra care with the probe lens as it is fragile.
•
Dispose used batteries with care. To protect the environment, you are recommended to
send the used batteries to a designated collection point. Contact your local council for
further information.
•
Remove the batteries from the unit if the thermometer will not be used for more than
two months. This will avoid risk of damage from leaking batteries.
•
Do not expose the thermometer to direct sunlight.
•
Do not subject the thermometer to vibration or impact.
•
The normal body temperature varies from person to person. Tracking a person’s body
temperature will help determine whether they have a fever.
•
Do not take body temperature readings within 20 minutes after you do physical
exercises or get excited as these activities naturally raise body temperature.
•
Clean the thermometer probe after each use.
•
Do not use the thermometer on newborns or for continuous temperature monitoring
purposes.
•
Do not use the thermometer for purposes that are not specified in this manual. Follow
the instructions in the “Measurement Process” chapter and carefully operate the
thermometer when measuring children’s temperature.
•
Do not immerse the thermometer in water or other liquid, as it is not waterproof.
Clean and disinfect the thermometer as described in the “Cleaning & Maintenance”
section.
•
Do not touch the tip of the probe, as there is a precise temperature sensor there.
•
Keep the probe clean to get accurate readings.
•
Before measuring the temperature from the ear canal, clean away earwax, if any.
•
The ambient temperature must not be extremely high or low. To make sure you get
accurate readings, keep the thermometer under room temperature for more than 30
minutes before use.
•
Do not use the thermometer in an ambient temperature higher than 40°C (104°F) or
lower than 10°C (50°F), which is beyond the operating temperature range of the
thermometer.
•
2x AAA batteries of 1.5V are the only replaceable accessories of the thermometer.
Please do not use batteries of other voltages or specifications.
