Important Safety
Information
Read this section thoroughly before using the
product.
Please ensure you observe the safety
instructions to avoid accidents, injury and damage.
Intended purpose
The Infrared Welcare Ear Thermometer is intended to
be used for the intermittent measurement of human body
temperature via the ear canal by people of all ages.
This thermometer is intended for home use only.
This product is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with limited physical, sensory, or mental abilities
or lacking experience and/or knowledge, unless they are
supervised by a person responsible for their safety or have
received and understand the instructions/safety warnings
for use of the product from this person in advance.
Safety Warnings
• It is recommended to use this unit with a Welcare Ear
Thermometer Probe Cover for hygiene purposes.
• DO NOT forcibly insert the probe into the ear.
• If you feel any discomfort such as a pain during the
measurement, stop using the product immediately.
• DO NOT use this product if suffering from an ear disease
such as otitis externa or otitis media. It may worsen the
condition.
• DO NOT use this product when the external auditory
canal is wet, such as after swimming or taking a bath.
It may injure the external auditory canal.
• Conducting self-diagnosis based on the measurement
results and/or treatment can be dangerous. Please follow
the instructions of your doctor.
• If the ear is cold, wait until the ear is warmed up before
taking a temperature measurement.
• To avoid inaccurate readings, always attach a new,
clean probe cover for each temperature reading. Correct
measurement result may not be obtained if dirty probe
covers are used.
• DO NOT use a probe cover after someone else has used
it. This can lead to cross infection.

Important Safety Information - continued
• For persons wearing hearing aids or earplugs, remove
the device and wait 20 minutes prior to taking a
temperature.
Warnings
• Proper installation of the probe cover ensures accurate
measurements.
• If device is accidentally used without a probe cover, clean
the probe as per cleaning instructions.
• The probe window must be kept clean, dry, and
undamaged to ensure accurate readings
• DO NOT attempt measurements when the thermometer
is wet, as inaccurate readings may result.
• If there is any temperature difference between the places
where the unit is stored and where you are going to take
the measurement, leave the unit in the room where the
unit is going to be used for more than thirty minutes
to allow it to reach room temperature before the rst
measurement.
• DO NOT touch the infrared sensor with a nger or
breathe on it. The probe is the most delicate part of the
thermometer. Use with care when cleaning the lens to
avoid damage.
• DO NOT attempt to open or disassemble the product.

explode.
• Remove battery from the device when not in operation
for a long time to prolong the battery life.
• DO NOT put the thermometer in direct sunlight or
expose to extreme temperatures.
• During a measurement, ensure that no mobile phone or
any other electrical devices that emit electromagnetic
eld is within 30cm of this device. This may result
in incorrect operation of the device and/or cause an
inaccurate reading.
