KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN

• Swallowing may lead to serious injury in as little as 2 hours or death, due to chemical burns and potential perforation of the oesophagus
• If you suspect your child has swallowed or inserted a button battery immediately call the 24-hour Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 (Australia) or 0800 764 766 (New Zealand) for fast, expert advice
• Examine devices and make sure the battery compartment is correctly secured, e.g. that the screw or other mechanical fastener is tightened. Do not use if compartment is not secure
• Dispose of used button batteries immediately and safely. Flat batteries can still be dangerous
• Tell others about the risk associated with button batteries and how to keep their children safe

• A high or prolonged fever requires medical attention, especially for young children. Please contact your doctor
• Conducting self-diagnosis based on the measurement results and/or treatment can be dangerous. Please follow the instructions of your doctor. Self-diagnosis may worsen the symptoms
• Do not use the thermometer to measure anything other than human body temperatures
• This thermometer is used for taking temperatures through oral, rectal or underarm. Do not attempt to take temperatures at other sites, such as in the ear, as it may result in false readings and may lead to injury
• Keep out of reach of children. Contains small parts that may cause a choking hazard if swallowed
• Do not allow children to take their temperatures unattended. Children may injure themselves when attempting to take temperatures without supervision
• Do not attempt rectal measurements on persons with rectal disorders. Doing so may aggravate or worsen the disorder
• Do not force the thermometer into the rectum. It is recommended to lubricate with a water-soluble gel. Stop insertion and abort the measurement when pain is present. Failure to do so may lead to injury
• Do not use a mobile phone or other devices that emit electromagnetic fields, near the unit. This may result in incorrect operation of the unit
• Follow the battery instructions carefully

Clean the probe before and after using the thermometer to ensure an accurate reading and to avoid cross contamination
