For safe use of this product, be sure to read and fully understand this manual as well as the safety precautions, prior to any use. Please keep this manual safely stored for convenient reference. The device is intended for the intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature by consumers in the home. Measuring the body temperature in the ear Scientific studies have shown that the ear is ideally suited to measure the body temperature. The body temperature is controlled by the hypothalamus, the blood vessels of which also supply the eardrum with blood. It is therefore advantageous to measure the body temperature whenever possible in the ear as shown in Fig. 1. Eardrum Hypothalamus Infrared sensor Infrared Fig. 1 rays In this respect, it is important that you apply the correct technique in order to achieve precise and reliable temperature measurements. For this purpose, please read this instruction manual carefully! 4 19.PJN174-14_GA-USA_HHD-Ohrthermometer_DSO364_28.07.14 Montag, 28. Juli 2014 14:37:38 BASIC INFORMATION USA 1.0 Definition of symbols The safety symbols shown in this instruction manual contain information concerning the correct use of the device and your safety. The symbols refer to the following content: Read and follow the instruction manual! Warning / danger: If not used correctly, there might be the risk of serious injury, damage and mortal danger! These instructions must be followed under all circumstances! Device with a Type B application part: Protection against electric shock by complying with the standards regarding the leakage currents. PLEASE NOTE: The correct measuring technique is very important to achieve precise measurement results! Therefore, carefully read this instruction manual prior to using this device! ATTENTION: For the users, it is dangerous to make a self-diagnosis and to treat themselves based on the measurement results. This may lead to a worsening of diseases and illnesses. Under no circumstances can this device replace any medical consultation – if in doubt, always seek medical advice! 5 19.PJN174-14_GA-USA_HHD-Ohrthermometer_DSO364_28.07.14 Montag, 28. Juli 2014 14:37:38 USAD BASIC INFORMATION 2.0 Application and functionality The Ear and Forehead Thermometer is an infrared temperature measurement device with which you can easily and straightforwardly carry out precise measurements of the body temperature on the forehead or in the ear as well as the temperature of liquids or surfaces. An acoustic signal indicates the end of the temperature measurement; then, you can read the temperature measured on the LCD display. The device can save and display the data of the last 9 body temperature measure- ments on the forehead or in the ear. Green / red indicator lights signalise if the body temperature measured is in the normal range (green) or if the body temperature is too high (red). The torch function facilitates orientation and application in the dark. 2.1 Intended use Use the Ear and Forehead Thermometer solely for the intended purpose: to measure the tem- perature of the human body in the ear or on the forehead and to measure the temperature of liquids (such as milk or water) or surfaces. This device is not intended to be used by people (including children) with limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities or with a lack of experience and / or knowledge unless they would be super- vised by a person responsible for their safety or received instructions by such a person on how the device is to be used. 6 19.PJN174-14_GA-USA_HHD-Ohrthermometer_DSO364_28.07.14 Montag, 28.
