EnglishIntroductionCongratulations on your purchase and welcome toPhilips! To fully benefit from the support thatPhilips offers, register your product atwww.philips.com/welcome. Intended useThe product is intended for measuring thetemperature of the human body. The device is intended for all ages in a homeenvironment.GeneralThis Philips ear thermometer has been developedfor accurate and fast human body temperaturemeasurements in the ear in the adjusted mode. Research indicates that the ear is an ideal site fortaking the body temperature. The body coretemperature is regulated by the hypothalamus(Fig. 2). The hypothalamus (1) shares the sameblood supply as the tympanic membrane (2). Measurement results can be transmitted viaBluetooth® Smart to the Philips HealthSuite healthapp for charting and tracking purposes.General description (Fig. 1)1 Protection cap2 Infrared sensor3 Probe tip4 History icon5 Bluetooth® Smart icon6 Battery symbol7 Temperature display8 Power button9 Temperature light ring10 °F/°C selection button11 Battery compartment12 Battery coverIMPORTANT SAFEGUARDSWarning: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFOREUSINGWhen using battery-operated products, especiallywhen children are present, basic safetyprecautions should always be followed, includingthe following:Warning - Do not measure the body temperature at theear site if the ear is inflamed or infected.- Stop using the device in the occurrence of anypain.
