Important Safety Information
To assure correct use of the product, basic safety measures should always be followed, including the precautions listed
below.
Warning: The following situations are potentially hazardous and, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury.
• Conducting self-diagnosis based on the measurement results and/or treatment can be dangerous. Please follow the
instructions of your doctor. Self-diagnosis may worsen the symptoms.
• A high or prolonged fever requires medical attention, especially for small children. Please contact your doctor.
• Keep the unit out of children's reach.
• If a child swallows the battery, immediately consult with a doctor.
• Do not throw batteries into a fire. The battery may explode.
• Remove the battery when the unit will not be used for three months or more. Failure to do so may lead to fluid leakage,
heat generation or bursting, resulting in damage to the unit.
• Do not use the unit to measure any item with a temperature higher than 80.0°C (176.0°F).
General Precautions
• Do not apply a strong shock to, drop, step on, or vibrate the main unit.
• Do not use a mobile phone near the unit.
• The main unit is not waterproof. Be careful when handling this unit so that no liquid (alcohol, water, or hot water) will get
into the main unit. When the unit is wet with vapor, wait until it dries or wipe it lightly with a soft dry cloth.
• Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the unit.
• When the probe lens becomes dirty, wipe it lightly with a soft dry cloth or a cotton swab. Do not wipe the probe lens with
tissue paper or a paper towel.
• If there is any temperature difference between the places where the unit is stored and where you are going to measure,
leave the unit in the room where you are going to use it for more than 30 minutes to allow it to reach room temperature first,
then measure.

Important Safety Information
• If the forehead is cold, wait until the forehead is warmed up before taking a temperature measurement. The measured result may
indicate low when you use an ice bag or an ice pack, or immediately after coming in from the outside in winter.
• Do not use the unit when wet after swimming, bathing, or through sweating after physical exercise, as skin temperature
may have fallen. Wipe away moisture and allow 30 minutes for the body to acclimatize to room temperature before
measuring.
• Do not touch the probe lens with a finger or breathe on it.
• Do not attempt measurements when the unit is wet as inaccurate readings may result.
• Check the icon on the display before and after the measurement so that the measurement is taken in the appropriate
mode.
• When taking the temperature of an object with low emissivity such as gold or aluminum, inaccurate readings may result.
• When taking the temperature of something with low emissivity (such as milk) in surface measurement mode, slightly lower
readings may result.
• Do not use the unit in places where strong static electricity or electromagnetic fields are present. Doing so may lead to
inaccurate readings and may contribute to instrument failure.
• When you inform your doctor of your temperature, make sure you state that you measured the temperature from the
forehead.
