off.

battery symbol (
) appears on the
display.

9. Cleaning and storage
Protective caps are only intended for
single use.
The sensor tip is the most sensitive part
of the ear thermometer. Work carefully
when cleaning the sensor tip to avoid
causing any damage. Use a clean cloth
or cotton bud that can be moistened
with disinfectant, alcohol or warm water.
To clean the entire device, use a soft cloth slightly moistened
with a mild soapy solution.
Do not use any harsh cleaning products.
If prolonged storage is intended, you should remove the bat-
teries. The device must not be stored or used at an excessively
high or low temperature or humidity (see technical data), in
sunlight, in association with an electrical current or in dusty
locations. Otherwise inaccuracies can occur.
10. Disposal
The empty, completely flat batteries should be disposed of
through specially designated collection boxes, recycling points
or electronics retailers. You are legally required to dispose of
the batteries.
