HOW TO USE
To ensure accurate temperature measurement, avoid eating, drinking any liquid,
exercising, bathing, or smoking for fifteen minutes before taking a
measurement.
1. Disinfect the thermometer probe with isopropyl alcohol. Place a probe
cover over the tip of the thermometer.
Press the On/Off button. “ ” will display, followed by last recorded
temperature. If “ ” appears instead, the thermometer has malfunctioned and
must be repaired or replaced.
2. “ ” and blinking “°F” will display; the device is now ready for
measurement. Place the probe in the desired measurement location as described
below (oral, underarm, or rectal).
Oral Use: Place the probe tip well under the tongue. The mouth must remain
closed during measurement to ensure accurate temperature measurement. DO NOT
bend or bite the probe while it is in the mouth. A normal temperature by this
method is 98.6°F.
Underarm Use (Axillary): Wipe the armpit with a dry towel. Place the probe tip under the armpit and keep the arm firmly pressed against the body during measurement to ensure accurate temperature measurement. A normal temperature by this method is 97.6°F.
Rectal Use: If your doctor recommends rectal temperature measurement, place a probe cover over the tip of the thermometer and lubricate the probe cover with a water-soluble jelly for easier insertion.
DO NOT use petroleum jelly. Gently insert the tip of the probe NO MORE than
1/2 inch into the rectum. STOP if you meet any resistance.
Hold the thermometer in place during measurement to ensure accurate
temperature measurement. A normal temperature by this method is 99.6°F.
3. Once “°F” has stopped blinking, the peak temperature has been reached and
a beeper will sound for approximately four seconds to signify that measurement
is complete.
4. After noting the measurement, turn the thermometer off, dispose of the
used probe cover, and clean the thermometer as instructed in the following
section, CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS. If the thermometer is accidentally left on, it
will shut off automatically after ten minutes.
5. After use, store the thermometer in a safe place, out of the reach of
children.
Note: If the measured temperature is higher or lower than the
thermometer’s measuring range, “ ” or “ ” will display.
Note: Using a probe cover may result in a 0.2°F difference from actual
temperature.
REMEMBER: Temperature measurements vary from person to person and thermometer to thermometer. Find your normal temperature and watch for changes. If you compare measurements between two thermometers, it is possible to have two different measurements even if both thermometers are within their accuracy ranges.
LAST TEMPERATURE RECALL (MEMORY)
While the thermometer is off, press and hold the On/Off button for approximately two seconds. The last measured temperature will display. “M” will also display under the degree (°) symbol.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
To clean the thermometer, wipe it with a clean, soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water solution, then wipe it with a clean, soft cloth dampened with clean water. To disinfect the thermometer, wipe it with a clean, soft cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol.
