Summer Infant 03170 manual Preparation Before USE, General, Inserting batteries

PREPARATION BEFORE USE

1. General

•Ensure that your ear is clean. If your ear is clogged with excessive earwax measurement may be inaccurate.

•Sudden change of ambient temperature may influence the measurement accuracy. For accurate measurement, try to store the ear thermometer in the same room where you usually take your temperature.

•For accurate measurement, take the temperature while you relax. Your temperature may increase after exercise or a bath.

•The right ear reading may differ from the left ear. Therefore, always take the temperature using the same ear.

•External factors may influence ear temperatures, including when an individual has:

-been lying on one ear or the other -had their ear covered

-been exposed to very hot or very cold temperatures -has just finished swimming or bathing

-has been wearing hearing aids or ear plugs

Should any of the above mentioned situations occurs, wait for 20 minutes prior to taking the temperature.

2. Inserting batteries

•Your Ear Thermometer requires two AAA batteries. To insert, remove the battery cover by sliding it away from the probe as shown in fig.3.
