HOW TO TAKE A TEMPERATURE
-
Select Oral, Axillary (Underarm) or Rectal as your measurement site based on each individual. Clean thermometer with soap and water prior to use.
-
Push the On/Off button on the top of the thermometer; the display will read: This is a function check indicating that the thermometer is working properly.
NOTE : If a malfunction is detected (measurement inaccuracy), this is indicated by “ERR” on the display, and a measurement becomes impossible. In this case, the thermometer must be replaced. -
After the function check, a temperature measurement will appear if there is a reading in the memory. Immediately after “L°C” with the °C/°F flashing and the “M” gone, will indicate that the thermometer is ready for use.
-
While taking a temperature, the °C/°F flashes as long as the temperature increases. If the °C/°F is no longer flashing, this means that the measured increase in temperature is now less than 0.1°C / 0.2°F in 16 seconds and that the thermometer is ready to read.
NOTE : The display will read “L” if the measurement taken is below 32.0°C / 89.6°F. It will display “H” if the measurement is above 43.9°C / 111°F. -
To prolong the life of the battery, turn the thermometer off after each use by pressing the On/Off button briefly, otherwise the thermometer will turn off after about 10 minutes.
SWITCHING °C / °F
With the thermometer turned off, press and hold the ON/OFF button for around 4
seconds until «C» or «F» flashes. Now press the ON/OFF button to switch
between °C/°F. Release button when the desired indicator is chosen and wait
till measurement mode. The thermometer is set to your selection for future
use.
MEASURING METHODS
Oral
Position the thermometer in one of the two pockets under the tongue, to the
left or right of the root of the tongue. The measuring sensor must be in good
contact with the tissue. Close your mouth and breath evenly through the nose
to prevent the measurement from being influenced by inhaled/exhaled air.
Approximate measuring time: 1 minute.
Rectal
This is the most reliable measuring method, and is especially appropriate for
infants and small children. Lubricate the thermometer with a water-soluble
personal lubricant or petroleum jelly. Carefully insert the tip of the
thermometer no more than 1/2 inch or 1.3 cm into the rectum. Do not force the
tip into the rectum if resistance is encountered.
Approximate measuring time : 1 minute.
Axillary (Underarm)
From a medical viewpoint, this method will always provide inaccurate readings,
and should not be used if precise measurements are required.
Approximate measuring time : 5 to 10 minutes.
MEMORY RECALL
When turning on the thermometer, the last measurement will be displayed with a
«M» for memory. After 3 more seconds, this value will disappear and the
thermometer will switch to the normal measurement mode. Then the stored value
is erased.
