Safety notes
WARNING
• To measure temperature, insert the sensor tip of the ear
thermometer carefully into the ear.
• Use of the ear thermometer on different persons can be inap-
propriate in the event of certain acute infectious diseases be-
cause of the possible spread of germs despite cleaning and
disinfection. If you have any doubts, please consult your doctor.
• The body temperature measured in the ear may differ from
other measurements taken in the mouth, rectum or armpits.
Any comparison of these values is therefore futile. Meas-
ure temperature regularly to calculate the normal ear tem-
perature and then use these measurements as a basis for
comparison when taking measurements in the event of a
suspected high temperature.
• This ear thermometer is intended for measuring the temper-
ature in the ear. Do not use this ear thermometer for meas-
urements in other parts of the body.
• Replace the protective cap after each use to ensure an accu-
rate measurement and prevent cross-contamination.
• The ear thermometer may only be used with protective
caps from Sanitas; other protective caps may result in faulty
measurements. If you have run out of protective caps, con-
tact the manufacturer or retailer for replacements.
• Consult a doctor if you believe your medical condition to
be poor.

• If your skin or eyes come into contact with battery fluid, rinse
the affected areas with water and seek medical assistance.
• Choking hazard! Small children may swallow and choke
