Before using, it is recommended to no drinking, smoking or excising for at least twenty minutes prior to do a measurement and no talk, walk during measuring, it may cause inaccurate reading.
When the battery is almost exhausted, the symbol will appear in the display window, meaning it’s time to replace the battery.

The readings is for reference, if feel sick or uncomfortable, please contact the physician.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

When the symbol “ ” appears, the battery needs to replaced.
Pull the battery cover off in the direction shown.
Use a pointed object such as a toothpick or insulated probe to pry loose the old battery. Avoid of using any sharp metal object in this operation.
Place a new 1.5V button size battery, LR41 or equivalent in the chamber with the positive(+) side up and the negative(-) side down.
Replace and fasten the battery cover securely.

Warning:

Discard old battery carefully, out of reach of young children. Swallowing the battery may be fatal. If the battery is swallowed, contact a hospital immediately to have it removed. Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. It may explode.
For battery disposition, please consider the national regulation.
If no use for 1 month, please take out the battery to avoid the battery deterioration

HOW TO USE

Disinfect the probe with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol before using.
Press and release the ON/OFF button, the display read confirming that the unit is functioning properly.
Then the display will show L°F with °F flashing. If the room temperature is greater than 90.0°F, it will display rather than L°F.
Place the probe in the appropriate position.
Once the degree sign (°F) stopped flashing, the measurement is finished and the temperature is displayed. An alarm signal will also sound for approximately 8 seconds after °F stop flashing.
The unit will automatically turn off in 3 minutes (approx.). However, to prolong battery life, it is best to press the ON/OFF button to turn off once the temperature has been indicated.

Special Features:

Last-Temperature Memory Recall: When the unit is off, press and hold the ON/OFF button around 3 seconds, the last memory will be shown. Release the ON/OFF button, the unit will be ready for measuring.

For Models with Fever alarm: If the temperature registers higher than 99.5℉, the fever alarm (a quick beeping sound which occurs continuously for about 8 seconds) will sound when the peak temperature has registered. Also, the result will keep flashing until the thermometer is turned off.

For Switchable Centigrade and Fahrenheit Models: After turning on the thermometer, the Centigrade or Fahrenheit mode can be switched within first 5 seconds by pressing and holding the ON/OFF button for 2 seconds.

NOTE:

Always disinfect the thermometer before using.
Drinking or eating prior to use may affect reading; oral measurement should be taken 30 minutes after drinking or eating.
In step 4, you may put a sanitary plastic probe cover on the sensor tip to prevent to cross-infection and contamination. Use of the probe cover may result in a 0.2℉(0.1°C) difference from actual temperature.
Dispose of any used probe cover and store the unit in a safe place.
Temperature readings vary from person to person and time to time ; find your normal temperature and watch for changes. if you compare readings between two thermometers, it is possible to have different readings even both of them are within accuracy requirement.

RELIABLE METHOD TO MEASURE TEMPERATURE

THE TAKING OF BODY TEMPERATURES : Change in body temperature is one of the most important indicators of illness. It is important that accurate temperatures be taken. Even though the device is used in similar manner to the glass thermometer, it is important that the simple instruction for use of this device be followed closely and that the person taking the temperature understands body temperature.

BODY TEMPERATURE: A person’s body temperature will usually be several tenths to one full degree lower in the morning than it is in the late afternoon. Therefore, if your temperature is 97.9°F (36.6°C) in the morning, it could be 98.4°F(36.9°C) or more in the late afternoon and still be normal. To determine what your normal body temperature is you should take your temperature both in the early morning and in the late afternoon over several days. Children have the same normal temperature range as do adults. A fever for both children and adults is typically defined as a temperature over 99.5°F(37.5°C) Exercise, excessive clothing, hot bath, hot weather, warm food and drink can cause mild elevations of up to 100.4°F(38.0°C) to 101.1°F(38.4°C). If you suspect one of these to be the cause of an elevated reading, eliminate the possible cause and retake the temperature in a half hour.

ORAL USE

Place the probe well under the patient’s tongue. Instruct the patient to keep their mouth closed while the thermometer is reading. A normal temperature by this method is usually considered between 98.6°F(36.0°C) to 99.5°F(37.5°C).

RECTAL USE

If the rectal temperature is recommended by your doctor, you may use a probe cover. Insert the thermometer into the probe cover. Lubricate the probe cover with a water soluble jelly for easier insertion, do not use petroleum, it may cause inaccuracy reading. Insert the tip of probe no more than 1/2 inch into rectum. STOP if you meet any resistance. The sensing unit is on the very tip of the probe and there is no need to insert the probe deep into the rectum. In general, the rectal temperature is around 1.0°F(0.5°C) to 2.0°F(1.0°C) higher than oral temperature.
NOTE : Due to petroleum is an oil soluble jelly, it will cause low temperature reading. If applying petroleum jelly is necessary, it is recommended to prolong the measurement regardless of the beep sound and continuous wait for around 2~3 minutes.

AXILLARY USE

Wipe armpit with a dry towel. Place the probe in the patient’s armpit and keep the patient’s arm pressed firmly against the body. In general, the axillary temperature is around 1.0°F(0.5°C) to 2.0°F(1.0°C) lower than oral temperature. Note that in order to achieve better axillary temperature measurement results, a minimum measuring time of 2~3 minutes is recommended regardless of the beep sound.
NOTE: Children should be attended by an adult during the entire measuring. After use, the digital thermometer should be stored in a safe place, out of reach of young children. If you compare temperatures between two thermometers, it is possible to have two different readings even it both thermometers are within their accuracy tolerance. Difference in how you take each reading and the thermometer’s tolerance range can account for nearly 0.2°F(0.1°C) variability.

CLEAN & DISINFECTION

Do not use corrosive detergent to clean the unit.
Clean the thermometer before and after use.

Cleaning process:

Pre-cleaning with cold water wash several times.
Clean the probe with a solution of 5~10% mild detergent about 10~15 seconds.
Continuously clean with cold water to avoid the chemical residues remaining on the device.
Rinse the device with drinking water or distilled water to ensure the removal of all remnants of the cleansing agent.
If necessary, repeat step 2 to step 4 in order to make sure the device is clean.
A final wipe down by a clean wiper is necessary to avoid water stains.

Disinfection process:

To disinfect the device when completed the cleaning process.
Wiping the probe with a cloth dipped in a disinfectant solution such as 70~75% isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol solution: contact time ≧10 min for disinfection.
The disinfectant free rinse without residues.

Drying process:

After cleaning and disinfection process above.
Put the device to air-dry in the room temperature 68-86°F exposure time around 30~60 minutes.
And store the device in a dry, clean, and dust-free environment at room temperature.
