CAUTIONS & WARNINGS

3
This thermometer is clinically proven to produce
accurate temperature measurements; however,
please be advised of the following situations:
The accuracy cannot be ensured for a person who
has deformity in the ear such that the thermometer
probe cannot be properly inserted into the ear
canal.
The accuracy cannot be ensured when blood or
drainage is found in the ear canal.
If ear drops or medications have been placed in
one ear take temperature from the other ear.
If wear ear plug or hearing aid, remove the
thermometer and wait for 15 minutes before taking
temperature.
RESTRICTIONS OF USE
Never try to clean inside the ears. You may accidentally
damage the eardrum or its surrounding tissues. Remove
excess ear wax only when you can reach it with a clean
cloth. Consult a physician if you suspect the presence
of excess earwax.

is intended for the intermittent measurement and
monitoring of human body temperature from ear canal
or forehead. The device is indicated for use by people
of all ages in the home.
HOW DOES IT WORK

by the eardrum and its surrounding tissue, or the
forehead skin surface over the temporal artery. The
thermometer then converts it into a temperature value
shown on LCD.
The thermometer does not send out any infrared signal.
