FEDERLINE
INDICATING TECHNOLOGY
This digital thermometer is equipped with Federline Indicating Technology to instantly and easily identify when a fever is present. At the completion of each measurement, the triangular arrow on the display will indicate whether the user has no fever, a slight fever, or a high fever

°C/ °F SWITCHABLE
Temperature readings are available in Celsius or Fahrenheit (°C /”F; located in the upper right comer of LCD.). With the thermometer off, press and hold the On/Off Button for approximately 3 seconds to change the temperature display unit. The backlight display will light up with a beep. Then the display will show the current metric °[ or’F, followed by the last temperature or ‘[ or °F (if no reading is stored in memory). After this, the thermometer will be in testing mode.

INSTRUCTIONS

Press the On/Off Button to turn on the device. The display will show with a backlight and beep tone, followed by the last temperature or  (if no reading is stored in memory). The thermometer is now in testing mode.
Note : If the ambient temperature is less than 89.6°F / 32.0″C, the LCD will display if the ambient temperature is higher than 109.2°F / 42.9°C, the LCD will display Hi.

1. Lubricate the metal probe tip with water-soluble jelly for easier insertion. Read the label of the lubricant to be sure you are using the right kind.
2. The proper position for a baby is to lay on its stomach with legs hanging down, either across your knees or at the edge of a bed or changing table.
3. This positions the infant’s rectum for safe and easy insertion of the thermometer.
4. Gently insert the probe tip approximately 1.3cm(about 1/2″) into the rectum. The guard above the tip (see Figure I) is designed to prevent over-insertion. If you detect resistance, stop. Hold the thermometer in place during measurement.

What is “Normal” temperature?
Although the generally accepted “normal” temperature reading is 98.6 °F /37 °C, a temperature, taken rectally, ranging between 97.9″F-100.4″ F (36.6″C-38″ C) is also considered normal. The best method to determine your baby’s normal temperature is to use the thermometer when he or she is feeling well. Record the temperature twice a day (early morning and late afternoon). The average of the two temperatures is considered your baby’s normal body temperature. Any variation from it may indicate some sort of illness and you should consult your pediatrician. It takes about 10~15 seconds to finish the measurement, which will be indicated by the “Bi-Bi-Bi-Bi” buzz then the backlit light will light up and the measurement will show on the screen. Do not stop measuring until the buzz sound is finished.

Note : Normally the buzzes are “Bi-Bi-Bi- Bi- “; Alarm beeps more rapidly when temperature reaches 100.5°F(38.l °C) or higher, and the buzzes are “Bi- Bi-B,— Bi-Bi-B——- Bi-Bi-Bi”
Reminder: Clean and disinfect the thermometer as recommended before placing it back in the storage case. See Cleaning and Disinfection instructions. After the test is complete (once the beeping stops), keep the thermometer powered on; hold the On/Off button for 3 seconds, and the display will show “IM” entering into memory mode. To prolong battery life, press the On/Off Button to turn the unit off after testing is complete. If no action is taken, the unit will automatically shut off after around 5 minutes.

Call your child’s doctor right away if your child has a fever and: Is younger than 3 months (12 weeks) and has a temperature of 100.4 “f (38.0″C) or higher. If, at any age, the fever rises above 102 °F (38.9°C) repeatedly.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

1. Replace the battery when   appears in the lower right corner of the LCD display.
2. Put a thin board such as a coin on the fillister of the cover. Turn the battery anti-clockwise until the cover is off. (See Figure 2)
3. Use a non-metal instrument such as a pen to remove the old battery from the battery holder (See Figure 3). Discard battery according to local law.
4. Place a new 3.0V DC button battery type CR2032 into the chamber with the positive side facing up. (See Figure 4).
5. Put back the cover, turning the cover clockwise until the “?” facing towards “<l “. (See Figure 5)
