SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The device must be used for its intended purpose, in accordance with this manual.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any damages caused by improper use.
• Any modification of the device is prohibited.
• The device is not waterproof! Under no circumstances should you im-
merse it in water or other liquids. When cleaning, follow the instructions
contained in «Device cleaning» section.
• After cleaning the measuring sensor, take a five-minute break before
the next measurement so that the sensor gains the initial operating
temperature.
• Do not use the device if you think it is damaged or notice anything un-
usual in its operation.
• Never disassemble the thermometer.
• It is important to clean the ear canal before measurement as the ear
wax can affect the measurement results (usually too low).
• During early stages of illness with a rapid rise in temperature to high val-
ues, the effect of «white hyperthermia» can be observed – a condition
which can be characterized by the peripheral vessel constriction, when
the skin becomes pale and remains cold. In such cases, temperature
measurements on the forehead should not be carried out, because the
skin temperature will be low. THEREFORE, YOU SHOULD SELECT «EAR»
MODE TO MEASURE THE TEMPERATURE IN THE EXTERNAL EAR CANAL.
• If the measurement results are contrary to the patient's general state or
suspiciously low, repeat the measurements every 15 minutes or mea-
sure the body temperature with another thermometer in the mouth or in
the rectum.
• The device includes parts that require careful handling.
• Please refer to «Basic specifications» section for storage and operation
conditions.
• Ensure that children do not use the device unsupervised: some parts are
small enough to be swallowed. Do not allow children to play with the
thermometer.
• Remove the batteries from the device if it will not be used for extended
period of time.
• Do not use the device near strong electromagnetic field sources, includ-
ing cellular phones and radio installations. Maintain the required dis-
