•Keep the thermometer away from direct sunlight, dust and dirt.

•Handle the thermometer carefully. Do not drop it.

•Use and store the thermometer in normal temperature environments.

•Wipe the thermometer occasionally with a damp cloth to keep it looking new.

•To prevent damage to the probe’s lens, do not clean it with a paper towel or paper. Use a cotton swab, dipped in rubbing alcohol, to wipe it clean. Let it dry before use.

Hints & Tips

•To obtain a precise temperature measurement, first clean your ear of all excessive earwax.

•Your temperature may differ for each ear. To get an accurate reading, always take your temperature in the same ear.

•Take your temperature when you relax, and never take your tempera- ture after exercise or a bath. Rest at least 20 minutes afterward.

•Do not use the thermometer if you suffer from ear diseases, or your ear canal is wet.

•Keep portable phones away from the thermometer to prevent malfunc- tion.

•If you have hair in your ear, the measured temperature may be lower than your actual temperature.

•If the following conditions occur, we recommend you take your temper- ature at least three times and use the highest reading.

•Infants under three months old.

•Children under three years old who have a compromised immune system.

•This is your first time using the thermometer. Practice until you get accurate and consistent readings.
