Bosch+Sohn Boso User Instructions page 29

– The device contains sensitive electronic components – in
order to ensure its capability to perform, it must be used and
stored according to the descriptions in the user instructions.
Protect the device from
• Extreme temperatures
• Shocks and vibrations
• Dust
• Direct sunlight
• Extreme humidity
– Please remove the batteries if the device is not used for an
extended period of time.
– This device measures the skin temperature on the forehead
in order to determine human body temperature. Skin tem-
perature can vary in dependence on various influences, such
as due to bathing, swimming or other athletic activities, due
to sweating, due to the use of ice packs and the extended
effects of high or low temperatures (outdoors). Before taking
temperature measurements, please wait at least 30 minutes
so that the body can adapt to a stable ambient temperature
(room temperature).
– Water, other surface liquids (e.g. sweat) or condensate can
negatively influence infrared measurements.
– Please ensure that the skin surface or the surface of the object
which is measured, as well as the sensor lens, are dry before
performing a temperature measurement, in order to ensure
the accuracy of this measurement.
– In the initial stage of a febrile illness, a physiological phenom-
enon called vasoconstriction (vascular constriction) can occur,
which leads to a lower skin temperature. For this reason, a
measurement with this thermometer may return an unusually
low result.
– If the measurement result should not correspond with the
condition of the patient or should be unusually low, the mea-
surement should be repeated at 15 minute intervals or com-
pared to a different measurement of core body temperature.
