NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people.
a. The ISM (industrial, scienti­c and medical) bands between 0,15 MHz and 80 MHz are 6,765 MHz to 6,795 MHz; 13,553 MHz to 13,567 MHz; 26,957 MHz to 27,283 MHz; and 40,66 MHz to 40,70 MHz.

b. The compliance levels in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the frequency range 80 MHz to 2,7 GHz are intended to decrease the likelihood that mobile/portable communications equipment could cause interference if it is inadvertently brought into patient areas. For this reason, an additional factor of 10/3 has been incorporated into the formulae used in calculating the recommended separation distance for transmitters in these frequency ranges.
c. Field strengths from ­xed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to ­xed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured ­eld strength in the location in which the device is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the device should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the device.
d. Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, ­eld strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

WARNINGS!

• This device should not be used in the vicinity or on top of other electronic equipment such as cell phones, transceivers or radio control products. If you have to do so, the device should be observed to verify normal operation.
• The use of accessories and power cords other than those specified, with the exception of cables sold by the manufacturer of the equipment or system as replacement parts for internal components, may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the equipment or system.

Directions

1. Press the On/Off Button next to the LCD display. A tone will sound as the screen shows , followed by the last recorded temperature. After showing the self-test temperature, the thermometer is now in testing mode.

2. Position thermometer in the desired location (mouth, rectum, or armpit.)
   a) Oral Use: Place thermometer under tongue as indicated by “√ ” position shown in Figure 2.
   Close your mouth and breathe evenly through the nose to prevent the measurement from being influenced by inhaled/exhaled air.
   b) Rectal Use: Lubricate silver probe tip with petroleum jelly for easy insertion. Gently insert sensor approximately lcm (less than 1/2 “) into the rectum.
   c) Armpit Use: Wipe armpit dry. Place the probe in the armpit and keep the arm pressed firmly at the side.
   From a medical viewpoint, this method will always provide inaccurate readings, and should not be used if precise measurements are required.

3. The degree sign flashes throughout the testing process. When flashing stops an alarm will beep for approximately 10 seconds. The measured reading will appear on the LCD simultaneously. The minimum measurement time until the signaling tone (beep) must be maintained without exception. The measurement continues even after the buzzer notification. So that in order to achieve better body temperature measurement results, recommend to keep the probe in the mouth and rectum for about 2 minutes, or in the armpit for about 5 minutes regardless of the beep sound and at least 30 seconds measurement interval should be maintained.
   *Note: Normally the buzzes are ” Bi-Bi-Bi-Bi-; Alarm beeps more rapidly when the temperature reaches 37.8°C (100°F) or higher, and the buzzes are ” Bi-Bi-Bi Bi-Bi-Bi Bi-Bi-Bi “

4. 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 10 minutes.

Troubleshooting

and take a new temperature via close contact and sufficient rest.
| Temperature taken is higher than 42.9°C (109.9°F)| Turn off, wait one minute and take a new temperature via close contact and sufficient rest.
| The system is not functioning properly.| Unload the battery, wait for 1 minute and repower it. If the message reappears, contact the retailer for service.
| Dead battery: Battery icon is flashing, can’t be measurable.| Replace the battery.

Battery Replacement

1. Replace the battery when “ ” appears in the lower right corner of the LCD display.
2. Pull battery cover off as shown in Figure 3.
3. Gently pull out plastic circuit board with battery chamber approximately 1 cm (slightly less than 1/2″.) (See Figure 4)
4. Use pointed objects such as a pen to remove old batteries. Discard battery lawfully. Replace with new 1.5V DC button type LR41 or SR41, UCC392, or equivalent. Be sure the battery is installed with ” + ” polarity facing up. (See Figure 5)
5. Slide the battery chamber back into place and attach the cover.

Cleaning And Disinfection

1. Immerse the thermometer probe in distilled water for at least 1 minute;

2. Using a clean, soft cloth to wipe the thermometer down to remove any residue;

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for three times until no soil is seen with visual inspection after cleaning;

4. For thoroughly cleaning and disinfection, please use method A or B: Method A(High-level disinfection): immerse the thermometer probe in 0.55% OPA(O-Phthaldehyde), such as CIDEX OPA, for at least 12 minutes under temperature
   at 20°C; Method B(Low-level disinfection): Using a clean soft cloth dipped in 70% medical alcohol, wipe the probe
   3 times, at least one minute for each time.

5. Repeat steps 1 to 3 to remove OPA residuals;
   Note 1: Rectal use is not recommended for home use as OPA will not be readily available outside of a hospital. If
   rectal measurement is necessary, we strongly recommend high-level disinfection.
   Note 2: Please operate according to the manual of OPA for reference.
   To prevent damage to the thermometer please note and observe the following:
   – Do not use benzene, paint thinner, gasoline, or other strong solvents to clean the thermometer.
   – Do not attempt to disinfect the sensing probe (tip) of the thermometer by immersing in alcohol, OPA or in hot water (water over 122°F (50°C)) for a long time.
   – Do not use ultrasonic washing to clean the thermometer.

Calibration

The thermometer is initially calibrated at the time of manufacture. If the thermometer is used according to the user instruction, periodic readjustment is not required. However, we recommend checking calibration every two years or whenever the clinical accuracy of the thermometer is in question. Turn on the thermometer and insert it into the water bath and then check the laboratory accuracy of the thermometer. Please send the complete device to the dealers or manufacturer.
The above recommendations do not supersede the legal requirements. The user must always comply with legal requirements for the control of the measurement, functionality, and accuracy of the device which are required by the scope of relevant laws, directives, or ordinances where the device is used.

Limited Warranty

The thermometer is guaranteed for one year from the date of purchase. If the thermometer does not function properly due to defective components or poor workmanship, we will repair or replace it free of charge. All components are covered by this warranty excluding the battery. The warranty does not cover damages to your thermometer due to improper handling. To obtain warranty service, an original or copy of the sales receipt from the original retailer is required.
