Guidance and manufacturer's declara tion – electromagnetic emissions - for all ME equipment and ME systems Guidance and manufacturer’s declaration – electro magnetic emissions The device is intended for use in the electromag netic environment specified below. The customer or the user of the device should assure that it is used in such an environment.
absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people. (a) Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) tele phones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered.
- Do not put the device in a wet ear canal after swimming or bathing. This may cause injury to the ear canal. Do not use the device if it is broken or dama ged. Using a broken or damaged device may cause injury. Caution - - - Only use the device as described in this user manual. Do not use it for any other purpose. The device is not intended as a substitute for consulting a doctor. Measurement results are for reference only.
Resetting the thermometer If you press the °C/°F selection button on the side of the thermometer for longer than 10 seconds, all measurements are deleted from the device and all settings return to the factory values.

replace the batteries as soon as possible. The devi ce works on 2x 1.5V AAA batteries. Data will be lost when the batteries are completely empty or are taken out of the thermometer. 1 Slide the battery cover downwards to open the battery compartment and remove the empty batteries (Fig. 14). 2 Insert two new batteries in the battery compart ment according to the polarity indications mar ked inside the compartment. Press down the batteries until they click into place (Fig. 15).
Problem The thermo meter seems to be inaccu rate or the measurement results seem questionable. Possible cau Solution se The batteries are not making pro per contact. Remove the batte ries and reinsert them properly. The measu red tempera ture is lower than 32.4°C/90.3°F or higher than 42.9°C/109.2° F. Follow the instruc tions in the user manual for proper measurement. The device is malfunctio ning. Contact the Phi lips Consumer Care Center in your country.

- - - When the device is used to measure the tempe rature of a child, it has to be operated by an adult. If you clean the ear, wait 5-10 minutes before you use the device. Earwax in the ear canal may cause inaccurate measurements. Make sure the ear canal is clean before you use the device. Do not take apart, repair or change any part of the device at any time.
- If you wear earplugs or hearing aids, remove them first We do not advise you to use the device in the follo wing circumstances as this may cause inaccurate measurements: - When the temperature of the storage area dif fers from the temperature of the measuring area. In this case, wait at least 30 minutes befo re you use the device. - If you are using ear drops or other ear medica tion. In this case, measure the temperature in the untreated ear (if any).
2 Press and hold the °C/°F selection button for 3 seconds to change the measurement unit (fig. 17). Cleaning and storage Use a cotton swab to clean the infrared sensor. 1 Moisten the cotton swab with a few drops of al cohol and wipe the surface of the infrared sen sor gently with the swab (fig. 18). 2 Immediately wipe the surface dry with a clean cotton swab. 3 Use a soft dry cloth to clean the body of the de vice (fig. 19). 4 Store the device in a clean, dry place at room temperature.
Problem The thermo meter seems to be inaccu rate or the measurement results seem questionable. Possible cau Solution se Temperature is out of tem perature mea suring range. Use the thermome ter in the range of operating condi tions (see 'Specifi cations'). The infrared sensor is not clean enou gh. Clean the infrared sensor with a cot ton swab accor ding to user ma nual. You are not measuring temperature in the correct way.
Electromagnetic emissions and immunity The device is approved according to EMC safety standard EN 60601-1-2. It is designed to be used in typical domestic environments. EMC Guidance - The ear thermometer needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put into service according to the EMC informa tion provided in this document.
