Carefully read and follow the enclosed instructions to ensure accurate temperature readings.
Note that temperature readings are affected by many factors including physical exertion, the
drinking of hot or cold beverages before measurement, as well as measuring technique.
Please keep still during measurement.
The use of temperature readings for self-diagnosis is dangerous. Consult with your doctor for the
interpretation of results. Self-diagnosis may lead to the worsening of existing disease conditions.
This thermometer is used for taking temperatures through oral, rectal or underarm. Do not
attempt to take temperatures at other sites, such as in the ear, as it may result in false readings
and may lead to injury.
Store the thermometer out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to take their
temperatures unattended. Children may injure themselves when attempting to take temperatures
without supervision.
Do not leave the battery, battery cover or probe cover where children can get to them. Children
may swallow them. Should a child swallow the battery, battery cover or probe cover, contact a
doctor immediately.
Do not attempt measurements when the thermometer is wet as inaccurate readings may result.
CAUTION
Do not bite on the thermometer. Doing so may lead to breakage and/or injury.
Do not share the thermometer among individuals.
Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the thermometer. Doing so may result in inaccurate
readings.
Do not attempt to incinerate the battery. It may burst.
Pay attention to polarity (+ –) when replacing the battery. Failure to do so may lead to fluid
leakage, heat generation or bursting, resulting in damage to the unit.
Remove the battery when the thermometer will not be used for 3 months or more. Failure to do so
may lead to fluid leakage, heat generation or bursting, resulting in damage to the unit.
Do not use mobile phones near the thermometer.
Do not use the thermometer in places where strong static electricity or electromagnetic fields are
present. Doing so may lead to inaccurate readings and may contribute to instrument failure.
Do not force the thermometer into the rectum. Stop insertion and abort the measurement when
pain is present. Failure to do so may lead to injury.
Do not attempt rectal measurements on persons with rectal disorders. Doing so may aggravate or
worsen the disorder.
Do not step on the unit or the hard case.
Do not attempt to disinfect the sensing section of the thermometer by immersing in alcohol or in
hot water (water over 50°C).
Failure to use a probe cover may lead to bacteria and viral infection.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not use the thermometer to measure anything other than human body temperatures.
Do not drop the thermometer and protective case or expose them to shock or vibration.
Do not store the thermometer in the protective case when it is damp. Wipe it off with a dry cloth
