   • Infants younger than 3 months old.
   • Children younger than 3 years old and who have a compromised immune system and the presence / absence of fever is critical.
   • When you are learning to use the thermometer.
2. Do not take a reading while the patient is moving and / or talking. Wait 30 minutes after any of the following situations before taking a measurement:
   • When the body site for measurement has been covered.
   • After the patient has been exercising, swimming, or taking a bath.
   • When the patient has been exposed to extreme temperature.
3. To take accurate readings, the ear must be free from excess earwax build-up.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

The thermometer comes with two 1.5 V AA alkaline batteries. The meter will display ” ” to alert you when the meter power is getting low. If “ ” and “ ” appear both, please follow the steps below to replace new batteries immediately.

1. Remove the battery cover as the arrow direction accordingly. (Figure 1)
2. Remove the old batteries and replace with two 1.5V AA size alkaline batteries. (Figure 2)
3. Close the battery cover. If the batteries are inserted correctly, you will hear a “beep” afterwards.
   

NOTE:

• Although the thermometer works when “ ” appears, we still recommend that you change the batteries to obtain an accurate result.
• Remove the batteries if stored for a long period of time.
• The batteries should be kept away out of child’s reach. If they are swallowed, promptly see a doctor for help.

ABOUT NORMAL BODY TEMPERATURE & FEVER

Body temperature can vary from one individual / person to next. It also varies by location on the body and time of day. Below shows the statistical normal ranges from different sites. Please keep in mind that temperatures measured from different sites, even at the same time, should not be directly compared.
Fever indicates that the body temperature is higher than normal. This symptom may be caused by infection, overdressing or immunization.
Some people may not experience fever even when they are ill. These include, but are not limited to, infants younger than 3 months old, persons with compromised immune systems, persons taking antibiotics, steroids or antipyretics (aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen), or persons with certain chronic illnesses.
