5. Keep the thermometer out of direct sunlight in a dry, dust-free,
well-ventilated area at a temperature between 50.0 – 104.0°F (10.0 –
40.0°C). Do not use the thermometer in a high humidity environment
(> 85% RH).
6. Do not use the thermometer if there are signs of damage on the
Infrared Temperature Sensor or elsewhere on the instrument! Please
contact the manufacturer.

irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, changes in appetite or
activity, seizure, muscle pain, shivering, sti neck, pain when
urinating, etc., even in the absence of fever.
9. Those who exhibit a normal temperature may still need to receive
medical attention. When determining the severity of illness of people
on antibiotics, analgesics or antipyretics, temperature reading should
not solely be relied upon.
10. Temperature elevation may signal a serious illness, especially in
adults who are elderly, frail, or have a weakened immune system, or
neonates and infants. Please seek professional advice immediately
when there is a temperature elevation in a person who meets any of
the following criteria:
• Over 60 years of age (fever may be dulled or even absent in
elderly patients).
• Diagnosed with diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune
system (e.g. HIV positive, cancer, chemotherapy, chronic
steroid treatment, splenectomy).

• A transplant patient (e.g. liver, heart, lung, kidney).
11. This thermometer is not intended for use on children under 2 years
of age. It is not intended to measure hypothermic temperatures.

purposes.
14. Do not take a measurement while or immediately aer nursing a
baby.

organs have to work, such as the stomach, intestinal tract, etc.,
generating extra heat which aects temperature accuracy.
