NOTES:
• The thermometer and the patient must re-
main in a room with a stable room tempera-
ture for at least 30 minutes before measuring
the temperature.
• Do not take a baby’s temperature during or
directly after breastfeeding.
• Do not use the thermometer in a humid envi-
ronment.
• Use of the unit under operating conditions
outside the range indicated may result in
false readings.
• Patients should not drink, eat, or exercise be-
fore/while taking the measurement.
• Do not move the measuring device away
from the area to be measured until the termi-
nation beep has sounded.
• 10 short beeps and a red LCD backlight indi-
cate that the patient’s temperature is above
37.5 °C (99.4°F).
• Always take the temperature at the same
measuring site, otherwise the temperature
readings may vary.
• A control measurement using a conventional
thermometer is recommended in the follow-
ing cases:
1. In the case of new-born infants up to
100 days old.
2. In the case of children under three
years of age with a compromised im-
mune system, for whom the presence
or absence of fever is critical.
3. While the user is learning how to use
the thermometer, until such time as
he/she has become thoroughly familiar
with the instrument and obtains consist-
ent readings.
4. If the measurement is suspiciously low.
