Usage Precautions - Beaba EXACTO Instruction Manual

Usage precautions

• Your thermometer probe is watertight and may be
cleaned with a disinfectant wipe or cotton wool soaked in
alcohol.
• The body of the thermometer is not watertight; do not
place it in a liquid, use a clean, dry tissue.
• Do not expose the thermometer to extreme
temperatures for long periods, e.g. in the sun, in a car.
• Avoid violent impacts and do not drop the product
• Avoid direct contact between fingers and the tip of the
probe
• Do not try to dismantle the thermometer
• The thermometer has been designed to be used without
a probe hood; it is pointless to use a probe hood.
• Keep the probe clean; grease and ear-wax can affect
the results of infra-red measurements.
• Do not take readings less than half an hour after a meal,
exercise, a bath or a period spent in a particularly hot or
cold environment.
• Leave an interval of at least 1 minute between readings,
otherwise slight variations may occur.
• An individual's body temperature corresponds to an
average value. There is no absolute standard for body
temperature. The best way to proceed is to measure your
temperature during a normal period and use this average
reading as a benchmark against which to judge your
fever.
• When the ambient temperature is outside the optimum
operating temperature band of between 16°C and 40°C,
an error meassge "Err" appears (11)
