Caution: Remove the batteries when the device will not be used for an extended period
of time.
Caution: If battery leakage occurs, fully clean the battery compartment using personal
protective equipment prior to re-use.
Caution: Observe proper measurement distance, starting between 5 cm to 15 cm (2"
to 6") from the patient's forehead. This is essential for measurement accuracy.
Caution: Do not modify or disassemble this device without prior authorization.
Caution: Ensure the thermometer lens is clean and intact prior to use and after meas-
urement is complete.
Caution: Avoid touching the lens directly with your fingers.
Caution: Do not expose the thermometer to extreme temperatures or humidity levels.
Do not expose to direct sunlight.
Caution: The thermometer is not waterproof; do not immerse in water or any other liquid.
Caution: Avoid dropping the device or exposing it to heavy shock or vibration.
Caution: Do not autoclave. Follow only the cleaning procedures described in this
manual.
Caution: Stop using this device if it operates erratically or if the display malfunctions.
Caution: Contact ADC or your local ADC representative for any assistance with this
device. Refer to the warranty section of this manual for contact details.
Caution: When the ambient temperature of the thermometer changes too much, such
as moving the thermometer from one place of lower temperature to another place of
higher temperature, allow the thermometer to remain in a room for 30 minutes where
the temperature is between 59°F to 104°F (15°C to 40°C).
Caution: Wherever possible, take measurements at the same area of the forehead.
Temperatures measured at different measurement sites (e.g., on the temples, on
opposite sides of the head) can vary considerably.
Caution: Head coverings that cover the forehead, perspiration, or hair may affect the
accuracy of measurements.
Caution: Avoid exposing the device to external heat sources or holding the thermome-
ter for an extended period of time as this can impact accuracy. Do not point thermome-
ter directly at known heat sources other than the patient.
