HOW TO TAKE A TEMPERATURE

1. Push the On/Off button on the thermometer. It will beep and the display will read: This is a function check indicating that the unit is working properly. Should there be a reading in the memory it will appear, then “LO°C”, the Bluetooth icon and the °C or°F icons will be visible and it is ready to take a reading.
   • IMPORTANT: does not refer to the battery level.
2. While taking a temperature, the °C/°F symbol flashes as long as the temperature increases.
3. A beep will sound for 10 seconds indicating that the peak temperature has been reached.
   • Note: This high-precision thermometer is programmed with a 60-second reading time. Please note, however, that reading time varies and may increase beyond 60 seconds depending on the measurement method used.
4. To prolong the life of the battery, turn the thermometer off after each use by pressing the On/Off button briefly, otherwise, the unit will turn off automatically in approximately 10 minutes.
   • Note: The LCD will display “LO” if the measurement taken is below 32.0°C /89.60°F. It will display “HI” if the measurement is above 42.99°C /109.38°F.
   • Note: When the LCD displays “—-” this means that the thermometer is waiting for a Bluetooth connection, you only have 30 seconds to connect your thermometer, otherwise it will skip the Bluetooth connection and go into the normal temperature measurement screen with one beep.

ORAL USE:
• Do not drink hot or cold fluids, exercise, smoke, or perform other activities prior to measurement. These actions will raise or lower temperature readings when compared to your normal, average temperature. The mouth should remain closed for up to 5 minutes before attempting a reading.
• Place the probe tip well under the tongue and wait until a beep is heard. Instruct children not to bite down on the probe.

AXILLARY USE:

• Wipe the underarm with a dry towel.
• Place the probe tip in the hollow of the armpit and bring the arm down against the body and wait until a beep is heard.

RECTAL USE:

• Commonly used for babies, young children, or when it is difficult to take an oral or axillary (underarm) temperature.
• Lubricate the thermometer with a water-soluble personal lubricant or petroleum jelly.
• Gently insert the probe tip no more than ½” / 1.3 cm into the rectum, and wait until a beep is heard.

IMPORTANT: Do not force the tip into the rectum if resistance is encountered
WHAT IS “NORMAL” BODY TEMPERATURE? “Normal” body temperature varies from person to person and changes according to time of day and body location. The following table shows the temperature ranges:

| Fever Temperature| Temperature Ranges
---|---|---
Rectal| Over 38°C / 100.4°F| 36.6°C – 38°C / 97.8°F – 100.4°F
Oral (mouth)| Over 37.5°C / 99.5°F| 35.5°C – 37.5°C / 95.9°F – 99.5°F
Axillary (underarm)*| Over 37.2°C / 99°F| 36.5°C – 37.2°C / 97.7°F – 99°F

Fever definitions according to the Canadian Paediatric Society
IMPORTANT: It is recommended to measure the body temperature when healthy to establish the specific “normal” temperature.
MEMORY RECALL:
This thermometer has a memory that recalls the last temperature taken. To obtain this information, with the thermometer off, press the On/Off button. The screen will then display the last measurement, which will be deleted after the next temperature is taken.
CLEANING AND DISINFECTING:
Before and after each use, clean the thermometer with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Disinfect using a cotton ball moistened with alcohol. Never immerse in hot water or in harsh cleaning solutions.
CHANGING THE BATTERY:
When the appears in the lower right-hand corner of the LCD display, the battery is exhausted and needs replacing. Remove the battery compartment lid located on the back of the thermometer.

Ensure the battery is correctly positioned with the “+” facing up or towards the back of the unit. Replace the battery compartment lid.
