• Clean the thermometer before and after each use.
• Store the unit in the protective case and keep it away from children when not in use.
• Do not bite the probe and battery cover.
• Do not store the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, dust or humidity. Avoid extreme temperatures.
• Dropping or subjecting your thermometer to strong shocks should be avoided.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the unit, except to replace the battery.
• The body of the thermometer should be free of crack before use.
• Do not use if the battery cover is detached.
• If the measurement is not attainable, the unit must be replaced.

To avoid inaccurate results caused by electromagnetic interference between electrical and electronic equipment, do not use the device near a cell phone or microwave oven.

What you need to know about your body temperature

Although the generally accepted “normal” temperature reading is 37.0°C, the temperature reading can vary from 36°C to 37.3°C and still may be considered as “normal”.
Your body temperature can be influenced by your activities such as exercise, smoking, eating, and drinking.
Even time of day may influence your body temperature. For example, your temperature is lower in the morning than in the afternoon.
Other variations may be due to the location of the temperature reading.
While the oral temperature follows the guidelines previously described, a rectal temperature is generally 0.5°C higher. Conversely, an auxiliary (under the arm) temperature will be 0.5°C lower.

Battery installation

When the battery low icon is displayed, the battery needs to be replaced.

• Pull the battery cover away from the thermometer.
• Use a non-metallic pointed object to remove the old battery.
• Place a new 1,5V DC battery (L736, SR41, LR41, 392 or 192) with the negative pole (-) side up and the positive pole (+) facing down in the battery compartment.

Measurement

Important before use

• When the temperature is higher than 38°, means that the patient may have a fever.
  Contact your doctor.

• It is important to clean your Thermometer before the first time of use and after each application. Clean your Digital Thermometer by wiping it with soap and water or 70%
  isopropyl Alcohol otherwise the result of measurement will be inaccurate.

• The thermometer is calibrated and does not need re-calibration if used according to the instructions.

• After a shower or exercise, the body temperature will rise. Please take a rest before taking temperature.

Taking an Oral Temperature
Drinking hot or cold fluids, exercising, smoking or performing other activities may raise or lower your temperature. Therefore, it is important to relax for approximately 5  minutes with your mouth closed prior to taking a reading.

• Place the probe tip under the tongue as near as possible to the heat pocket. The diagram also shows the temperature variables by not placing the tip in the heat pocket area.
• Close the mouth
• Press the ON/OFF button (4) briefly. After all, segments have been displayed, the previous result or ‘Lo’ is displayed for 2 seconds.
• The thermometer starts the measurement.
• When the temperature stabilizes at peak temperature, 10 beeps are audible and the result is displayed.
• If the temperature is above 37.8 C, the unit will sound ten sets of two short beeps.
• Press the ON/OFF button (4) to turn the unit off or the unit will automatically shut off after approximately ten minutes.

The mouth must remain closed during the measurement for the most accurate reading. Opening the mouth could result in an extended measurement time and may affect  the reading.

Axillary use

• Wipe the underarm with a dry towel.
• Place the probe tip under the arm so the tip is touching the skin with the thermometer perpendicular to the body.
• Position the arm across the chest so the probe tip is well covered by the arm. This also ensures the probe is not affected by the room’s air.
• Press the ON/OFF button (4) briefly. After all, segments have been displayed, the previous result or ‘Lo’ is displayed for 2 seconds.
• The thermometer starts the measurement.
• When the temperature stabilizes at peak temperature, 10 beeps are audible and the result is displayed.
• If the temperature is above 37.8 C, the unit will sound ten sets of two short beeps.
• Press the ON/OFF button (4) to turn the unit off or the unit will automatically shut off after approximately ten minutes.

Rectal use
It is suggested that a rectal used thermometer is separated from a axillary or oral used thermometer because of hygienic reasons. Rectal temperatures are an appropriate and reliable method for infants and small children. Otherwise, this method should only be used when it is impossible or impractical to take an oral or auxiliary temperature.

• After applying the disposable probe cover, apply a water-soluble lubricant to the tip.
  Do not use petroleum jelly like Vaseline for easier insertion.

• Gently insert the probe a MAXIMUM of 1 cm into the rectum.

• Press the ON/OFF button (4) briefly. After all, segments have been displayed, the previous result or ‘Lo’ is displayed for 2 seconds.

• The thermometer starts the measurement.

• When the temperature stabilizes at peak temperature, 10 beeps are audible and the result is displayed.

• If the temperature is above 37.8 C, the unit will sound ten sets of two short beeps.

• Press the ON/OFF button (4) to turn the unit off or the unit will automatically shut off after approximately ten minutes.
