Safety Precautions
Read the following precautions carefully before using the thermometer.
Attention
• Take care of the temperature probe lens, which is fragile.
• Dispose of used batteries with care. To safeguard the environment,
you are recommended to send the used batteries to a designated
collection point.
• Remove the batteries if the thermometer will not be used for more
than two months.
• Do not immerse the thermometer in water or expose it to direct sunlight.
• Do not subject the thermometer to vibration or impact.
• Normal body temperature varies from person to person. Tracking an
individual’s temperature on a consistent basis will help determine
whether a fever is present.
• Do not take body temperature readings within 20 minutes after you do
physical exercises.
• Clean the thermometer after each use.
Follow these safety precautions carefully when using the
thermometer:
• Do not use the thermometer for continuous temperature monitoring
purposes.
• Do not put the thermometer, which is not waterproof, into water or other
liquid. Clean and disinfect the thermometer as described in “Cleaning
and Disinfection”.
• Do not touch the tip of the temperature probe, on which a precise
temperature sensor resides.
• The ambient temperature must not be extremely high or low. To ensure
accurate readings, keep the thermometer at room temperature for
more than 30 minutes before use.
• Do not use the thermometer at an ambient temperature higher than
40°C (104°F) or lower than 10°C (50°F), which is beyond the operating
temperature range of the thermometer.
