Important Safety Information
•Do not touch the infrared sensor with a finger or breathe on it.
•Do not attempt measurements when the unit is wet as inaccurate readings may result.
•Check the symbol on the display before and after the measurement so that the measurement is taken in the appropriate mode.
•When taking temperature of the subject with low emissivity such as gold or aluminum inaccurate readings may result.
•Keep the unit out of children’s reach.
•Avoid children trying to measure themselves or others as they may damage the ear.
•In an emergency case, if a child swallows a battery or a probe cover, immediately consult with a doctor.
•Do not throw batteries into a fire. The battery may explode.
•Remove the battery when the unit will not be used for 3 months or more. Failure to do so may lead to fluid leakage, heat generation or bursting, resulting in damage to the unit.
•Do not use the unit in places where strong static electricity or electromagnetic fields are present. Doing so may lead to inaccurate readings and may contribute to instrument failure.
•Do not use the unit to measure any item with a temperature higher than 80.0°C (176.0°F).
General Precautions
•Do not apply a strong shock to, drop, step on, or vibrate the main unit.
•Do not use a mobile phone near the unit.
•The main unit is not waterproof. Be careful when handling this unit so that no liquid (alcohol, water, or hot water) will get into the main unit. When the unit is wet with vapor, wait until it dries or wipe it lightly with a soft dry cloth.
•Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the unit.
•When you inform your doctor of your temperature, make sure you state that you measured the temperature in the ear.
