Notes on handling batteries
WARNING
• If your skin or eyes come into contact with battery fluid, flush out
the affected areas with plenty of water and seek medical assistance.
• Danger of being swallowed. Small children may swallow and choke
on batteries. Store the batteries out of the reach of small children.
• Batteries must not be recharged, taken apart, thrown into an open
fire or short circuited.
• Batteries can contain toxins that are harmful to health and the envi-
ronment. Always dispose of batteries in accordance with applicable
legal regulations. Do not dispose of batteries with the normal house-
hold waste.
• Observe the plus (+) and minus (-) polarity signs.
• Replace weak batteries before they discharge completely.
• Leaking batteries may damage the device. If you do not intend to use
the device for longer periods, remove the batteries from the battery
compartment.

• Always replace all batteries at the same time.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• Do not disassemble, split or crush the batteries.
General notes
Note
• This ear thermometer is a sensitive electronic device. Handle it with
care and do not subject it to any mechanical impacts.
• The ear thermometer is NOT waterproof. Keep it dry, and avoid contact
with moisture, liquids, direct sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity
and high dust concentrations.
• The ear thermometer has been designed for practical use, but is not
a substitute for a visit to the doctor.
• The FT 78 ear thermometer is only designed for the measuring area
on the human body stated in the instructions for use.
• The device is only intended for the purpose stated in these instruc-
tions for use.
• After each use, clean the measuring probe with a soft cloth moistened
with disinfectant.
• Before each repair query, first check the batteries and replace them
if necessary.
• Repairs must only be carried out by authorised service centres, oth-
erwise the guarantee is invalidated.
WARNING
• The body temperature measured in the ear may differ from other meas-
urements taken in the mouth, rectum or armpits. Any comparison of
these values is therefore impractical. Measure temperature regularly
to calculate the normal ear temperature and then use these measure-
ments as a basis for comparison when taking measurements in the
event of a suspected high temperature.
• This thermometer is intended for measuring the temperature in the
ear. Do not use this thermometer for measurements in other parts
of the body.
• Replace the protective cover after each use to ensure an accurate
measurement and prevent cross contamination.
• The thermometer may only be used with protective caps from Beurer;
other protective caps may result in faulty measurements. If you have
run out of protective caps, contact the manufacturer or retailer for
replacements.
• Consult a doctor if you believe your medical condition to be poor.
