Warning
-
Do not measure the body temperature at the
ear site if the ear is inflamed or infected.
-
Stop using the device in the occurrence of any
pain. It is likely to damage the ear canal.
-
If the measured body temperature exceeds
100.4°F / 38°C and the person whose
temperature is being measured feels
uncomfortable, contact your physician.
-
It is recommended not to use the device if you
suffer from ear disease, including otitis externa
and tympanitis.

104.0°F / 40.0
°
C) or humidity extremes
(below 15%RH or over 85%RH). If you do,
this may cause inaccurate measurements.
-
Do not expose the thermometer to temperature
extremes (below -4°F / -20°C or over
140°F / 60°C) or humidity extremes (below
15%RH or over 85%RH). If you do, this may
cause inaccurate measurements.
-
Do not store the device in extreme temperature
(below -4°F / -20°C or over 140°F / 60°C) or
