Battery Handling Safety Precautions - innohaus AFT 58 Instrucciones De Uso

NOTE:
• Taking your temperature provides information about your current state of wellbeing. If you are
uncertain about interpreting the results or if the result is abnormal (e.g. fever), consult your doctor.
This also applies in the case of slight temperature changes if there are other symptoms of illness
such as agitation, severe sweating, flushed skin, fast pulse rate, tendency to collapse, etc.
• Temperatures measured with different thermometers cannot be compared. You should tell your
doctor or keep in mind if you are measuring for yourself what type of thermometer you use and
in which part of the body.

Battery Handling Safety Precautions

• Use only the size and type of batteries specified.
• Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the batteries. Reversed batteries may cause
damage to the device.
• Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g., alkaline and carbon-zinc or rechargeable batteries)
or old batteries with fresh ones. Always replace batteries as a simultaneous set.
• If the batteries in the device are depleted or the device will not be used for a long period of time, remove
the batteries to prevent damage or injury from possible battery leakage.
• Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged; they can overheat and rupture (follow
battery manufacturer's directions.)
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire, batteries may explode or leak.
• Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior to battery installation.
• Remove discharged batteries from the product and dispose/recycle in compliance with all applicable
laws.
• Swallowing batteries and/or battery fluid can be extremely dangerous. Keep the battery out of the
reach of children. Should a child, or any other person swallow a battery and/or battery fluid, please
call 911 immediately.
• Should battery fluid leak and come into contact with your eyes or skin, immediately rinse with plenty
of clean water. Please call 911 immediately.
• Batteries should not be charged or reactivated by any other means.
• Batteries should not be taken apart, thrown in the fire or short circuited.
• Keep batteries away from children and pets. Batteries may be harmful if swallowed. Should a child or
pet swallow a battery, seek medical assistance immediately.
• The quality of the device has been verifed and conforms to the requirements of Council Directive 93/42/
EEC (Medical Devices Directive) Annex I, Essential requirements, and the corresponding harmonised
standards, EN 12470-5 Clinical thermometers – Part 5: Performance of infrared ear thermometers and
the European standard EN 60601-1-2 (in accordance with CISPR 11, IEC 61000-4-2, IEC 61000-4-3, IEC
61000-4-8) and is subject to special precautions with respect to electromagnetic compatibility. Please
note that portable and mobile HF communication systems may interfere with this unit.
Notes on electromagnetic compatibility
• The device is suitable for use in all environments listed in these instructions for use, including domes-
tic environments.
• The use of the device may be limited in the presence of electromagnetic disturbances. This could result
in issues such as error messages or the failure of the display/device.
• Avoid using this device directly next to other devices or stacked on top of other devices, as this could
lead to faulty operation. If, however, it is necessary to use the device in the manner stated, this device
as well as the other devices must be monitored to ensure they are working properly.
• The use of accessories other than those specifed or provided by the manufacturer of this device can
lead to an increase in electromagnetic emissions or a decrease in the device's electromagnetic immu-
nity; this can result in faulty operation.
• Failure to comply with the above can impair the performance of the device.
