• Do not remove the thermometer from the measuring
position until it has beeped to signal the end of the
reading.
• If the sensor becomes dirty during or after a reading,
clean it with a cotton bud dipped in cleaning alcohol
before putting the thermometer away.
• Always take the temperature in the same place, because
the readings will vary in different environments.
• A control measurement using a conventional
thermometer is recommended in the following cases:
1. If the reading is surprisingly low,
2. For new-born infants up to 100 days old,
3. For children under three years of age who have a
weakened immune system or who react unusually in
the presence or absence of fever,
4. If you are using the thermometer for the first time or
want to familiarise yourself with it.

temperature measurement mode .
