Safety notes

WARNING
• To measure temperature, insert the sensor tip of the ear thermometer
carefully into the ear.
• Use of the thermometer on different persons can be inappropriate in
the event of certain acute infectious diseases because of the possible
spread of germs despite cleaning and disinfection. If you have any
doubts, please consult your doctor.
Notes on handling batteries
WARNING
• If your skin or eyes come into contact with battery fluid, flush out the
affected areas with water and seek medical assistance.

General notes

Note
• This ear thermometer is a sensitive electronic device. Handle it with
care and do not subject it to any mechanical impacts.
• The ear thermometer is NOT waterproof. Keep it dry, and avoid contact
with moisture, liquids, direct sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity
and high dust concentrations.
• The ear thermometer has been designed for practical use, but is not
a substitute for a visit to the doctor.
• The FT 78 ear thermometer is only designed for the measuring area
on the human body stated in the instructions for use.
• The device is only intended for the purpose stated in these instruc-
tions for use.
• After each use, clean the measuring probe with a soft cloth moistened
with disinfectant.
• Before each repair query, first check the batteries and replace them
if necessary.
• Repairs must only be carried out by authorised service centres, oth-
erwise the guarantee is invalidated.
WARNING
• The body temperature measured in the ear may differ from other meas-
urements taken in the mouth, rectum or armpits. Any comparison of
these values is therefore impractical. Measure temperature regularly
to calculate the normal ear temperature and then use these measure-
ments as a basis for comparison when taking measurements in the
event of a suspected high temperature.
