To assure the correct use of the product basic safety measures should always be followed including the precautions listed below.

Warning:

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

Conducting self-diagnosis based on the measurement results and/or treatment can be dangerous. Please follow the instructions of your doctor. Self-diagnosis may worsen the symptoms.

A high or prolonged fever requires medical attention, especially for small children. Please contact your doctor.

Please keep still during measurement.

Do not forcibly insert the probe in the ear.

If you feel discomfort such as a pain during the measurement, stop using the unit immediately. It may injure the external auditory canal.

Do not use this unit if suffering from ear disease such as otitis externa or otitis media. It may worsen the condition.

Do not use this unit when the external auditory canal is wet such as after swimming or taking a bath. It may injure the external auditory canal.

Do not use this unit without attaching a probe cover.

Please ensure that the ear canal is clean and free of earwax.

If the probe cover becomes dirty with earwax or other substances, replace it with a new one.

Do not use a probe cover after someone else has used it. This can lead to cross infections such as otitis externa.

Correct measurement result may not be obtained if dirty probe covers are used.

Proper installation of the probe cover ensures accurate measurements.

When the infrared sensor becomes dirty, wipe it lightly with a soft dry cloth or a cotton swab. Do not wipe the infrared sensor with tissue paper or a paper towel.

Do not use more than one probe cover at a time.

If there is any temperature difference between the places where the unit is stored and where you are going to measure, leave the unit in the room where you are going to use it for more than 30 minutes to allow it to reach room temperature first, then measure.

If the ear is cold, wait until the ear is warmed up before taking a temperature measurement. The measured result may indicate low when you use an ice bag or an ice pack or immediately after coming in from the outside in winter.

Do not touch the infrared sensor with a finger or breathe on it.
