CARE AND SAFETY INFORMATION
Improper care or use of your thermometer may result in injury, damage to the unit
or inaccurate readings, which can lead to a misdiagnosed fever. Following these
instructions will ensure the thermometer's accuracy and long life.
• Never allow the thermometer to be used without adult supervision.
• Do not use excessive force to insert the probe into the ear; proper use should
not cause pain or discomfort.
• The ear should be clean before using this thermometer; earwax in the ear canal
may cause an incorrect reading. For proper ear cleaning techniques, consult a
healthcare professional.
• Do not use the thermometer if the ear is infected or the ear canal is wet.
• The patient should remain still and avoid talking while the thermometer is in
use.
• Clean the lens before and after each use.
• Do not touch the lens with fingers.
• Store the thermometer in the storage case when not in use.
• Do not store the thermometer in direct sunlight, dusty or humid environments,
or extreme temperatures. Exact figures for appropriate use and storage can be
found in the Product Specifications section of this manual.
• If the patient's temperature is below the ambient air temperature, an
inaccurate reading may result.
• Dropping the thermometer or causing other heavy impact may damage it.
• Do not disassemble the thermometer or attempt to repair it (other than
replacing the battery).
• If a reading cannot be taken, and the troubleshooting steps do not fix the
problem, the thermometer must be replaced.
