CAUTIONS REGARDING BURNS
Use of Hotronic FootWarmer may result in burns. The higher the
temperature setting, the higher the risk of burns.
IT IS USER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO:
Properly use Hotronic FootWarmer according to Instructions.
Understand his or her own individual sensitivity to heat and
susceptibility to burns.
Understand his or her own individual early warning sensations of
a burn.
Remove his or her feet from source of heat before a burn may
occur.
SOME EARLY WARNING SENSATIONS OF A BURN are:
When any area of your feet becomes hot.
When any area of your feet feels like you are standing on a small
pebble or pointed object and may or may not feel hot.
The colder one’s feet are, the sharper the sensation may feel.
Early warning sensations of a burn may differ from person to
person.
IMMEDIATELY UNPLUG
Heating Element from Battery Pack and
IMMEDIATELY REMOVE
your foot from FootWarmer if you feel
your foot getting hot, if you think you might be getting a burn, or if
you experience any early warning sensations of a burn. Do not reuse
FootWarmer until you are certain your foot is no longer at risk of
being burned.
SEE A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY
if you think you
have a burn.
DO NOT USE heat setting 4
for more than three minutes at a time. It
may become too hot for continuous use and may result in burns.
CONSULT WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN
prior to using FootWarmer if
you might have any physiological condition or are using any
medication or drug which increases skin sensitivity or reduces skin
sensation to heat. Such physiological condition or medication
increases risk of burns. Some physiological conditions or
medications which increase skin sensitivity or reduce skin sensation
to heat are calluses on feet, diabetes, cardiovascular problems,
nervous system disorders, Raynaud’s syndrome, and tetracycline.
Other physiological conditions or medications which increase skin
sensitivity or reduce skin sensation to heat may exist.
DO NOT WAIT
until your feet are cold to turn temperature setting
up because cold feet reduce skin’s sensation to heat and increase risk
of burns.
DO NOT USE
damp or wet socks because presence of moisture
increases heat transfer and may increase risk of burns.
DO NOT USE
Hotronic Heating Element (1) without fabric covering
Heating Element or (2) with Heating Element directly exposed on
surface of insole.
NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE
by infants, toddlers, children, or
individuals incapable of knowing, understanding, or acting upon
early warning sensations of a burn.
DO NOT USE
while consuming drugs or alcohol because these may
increase skin sensitivity, reduce skin sensation to heat, or reduce
one’s ability to detect early warning sensations of a burn. Such drugs
or alcohol may increase risk of burns.
DO NOT USE
while sleeping.
