Do not allow child to play with it. Adult supervision is required in the use of this product. Do not drop the thermometer or expose to heavy shock. The unit is not shock proof. Performance may be degraded after shock. Performance of the device may be degraded if operated or stored outside stated temperatures and humidity ranges or the patient's temperature is below the ambient (room) temperature. Swallowing the battery, if it is dislodged, could be fatal. Do not allow your child to bite, hit, or remove, the battery cover. Keep batteries away from children. Parents are urged to exercise care in the storage, use, and disposal of all batteries. Do not dispose of battery in fire, it may explode. Do not attempt to recharge battery.

Fever Facts: Remember: Fever itself is a symptom, not an illness. It is a sign of the body's effort to fight an infection - a healthy response of the immune system. The majority of fevers will not need antibiotics or other treatment. In children, a high fever can occur suddenly, and even a low fever can sometimes be dangerous. It's a good idea to take a benchmark reading when your child is well and you can both feel comfortable doing it. Ask your health care provider what thermometer reading you should consider high for this particular child, and what steps are to be taken. Observe your child carefully. The way she acts is often more important than her actual temperature. Watch for lethargy, irritability, and lack of appetite. When talking to your child's doctor, be sure to mention: 1. How temperature was taken (orally, rectally, or under the arm) 2. What thermometer reading actually was; and 3. What kind of thermometer you used. This product is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it. For home use only,
