Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips! To fully benefit from the support that Philips offers, register your product at www.philips.com/welcome.

Intended use

The product is intended for measuring the temperature of the human body. The device is intended for all ages in a home environment.

General

This Philips ear thermometer has been developed for accurate and fast human body temperature measurements in the ear in the adjusted mode. Research indicates that the ear is an ideal site for taking the body temperature. The body core temperature is regulated by the hypothalamus (Fig. 2). The hypothalamus (1) shares the same blood supply as the tympanic membrane (2). Measurement results can be transmitted via Bluetooth® Smart to the Philips HealthSuite health app for charting and tracking purposes.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Warning: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

When using battery-operated products, especially when children are present, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

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.

- Keep the device out of the reach of children and pets to avoid inhalation or swallowing of small parts. Children may not be able to use the device according to the instructions in this user manual. It is not a toy.

- Do not throw disposable batteries into fire. Batteries may explode.

- Do not put the device in a wet ear canal after swimming or bathing. This may cause injury to the ear canal.

- Do not use the device if it is broken or damaged. Using a broken or damaged device may cause injury.

- Do not use the thermometer under temperature extremes (below 59°F / 15°C or over 95°F / 35°C) or humidity extremes (below 20%RH or over 80%RH). If you do, this may cause inaccurate measurements.

- Do not expose the thermometer to temperature extremes (below 14°F / -10°C or over 131°F / 55°C) or humidity extremes (below 20%RH or over 90%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 in extreme levels of humidity (below 15%RH or over 85%RH). If you do, this may cause inaccurate measurements.

Caution

- Only use the device as described in this user manual. Do not use it for any other purpose.

- The device is not intended as a substitute for consulting a doctor. Measurement results are for reference only.

- When the device is used to measure the temperature of a child, it has to be operated by an adult. Adults can measure their own temperature.

- If you clean the ear, wait 5-10 minutes before you use the device.

- Earwax in the ear canal may cause inaccurate measurements. Make sure the ear canal is clean before you use the device.

- Do not take apart, repair or change any part of the device at any time, except for replacing batteries.

- Keep the infrared sensor dry, clean and undamaged to ensure accurate measurements.

- Do not touch or blow at the infrared sensor. A dirty infrared sensor may cause inaccurate measurements.

- Never clean the device with an abrasive cleaner, thinner, benzene or immerse the device in water or other liquids.

- When the temperature of the storage area differs from the temperature of the measuring area, wait at least 30 minutes for the device to acclimatize before you use the device.

- If you do not intend to use the device for a long period of time, it is advised to remove the batteries before storing. This is to prevent possible damage due to leakage of the batteries. If the batteries leak, remove them carefully and replace with new batteries.
