probe cover while playing with it. If a child should swallow it, seek
medical treatment immediately.
Usethe thermometer at aroom temperature between5 and 40 .
If the thermometer is stored in an environment with the temperature out of
the above range or the temperature of the storage area differs greatly from
that of the measuring area, allow the thermometer to equalize to the room
temperature before use.
DO NOT measure temperature if:
Your ear is cold, wet or blocked with ear wax.
It is within 30 minutes after eating, taking a bathor physical exercise.
You are suffering from an ear infection.
Always use the thermometer with its probe tip clean. Do not
touch the probe cover after cleaning.
A dirty probe tip may cause an inaccurate measurement. Clean the probe
tip with a dry, soft cloth or cloth moistened with alcohol before use. When
cleaned, wait for a few minutes before measuring temperature.
Do not touch the probe tip with your hands, the oil from your
hands can damage the probe cover.
