SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING : Children must always be supervised by an adult during temperature measurement.
WARNING: Stop using the thermometer if it operates erratically or if the display malfunctions.
WARNING: Clean the thermometer probe before storing it.
WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm – www.p65warnings.ca.gov.
NOTICE: Do not boil the probe. Clean the unit by wiping it with a dry cloth and disinfect the probe with isopropyl alcohol.
NOTICE: Do not drop the thermometer or expose it to heavy shock. The unit is not shockproof.
NOTICE: Do not bend or bite the probe.
NOTICE: Do not disassemble. See BATTERY REPLACEMENT to replace the battery.
NOTICE: If the thermometer has been stored at below-freezing temperatures, allow it to warm naturally to room temperature before using.
NOTICE: Do not store the unit under direct sunlight, at a high temperature, or in high humidity or dust; performance may be degraded.
NOTICE: Performance of the device may be degraded if operated or stored outside temperature and humidity ranges stated in Specifications.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
1. Wipe or dip the thermometer probe with isopropyl alcohol to disinfect.
2. Depress the ON/OFF button. A tone will sound as the screen displays M . The screen will then display the last recorded temperature, and will then be in measurement mode..
3. Position the thermometer in the desired location (mouth, rectum, or underarm) as described in the following paragraphs.
Oral Use: Place the probe under the tongue as indicated by the “” 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. Normal oral temperature is approximately between 96.3°F and 99.1°F (35.7°C and 37.3°C).

Rectal Use: If using a probe cover to help prevent cross infection and contamination, insert a thermometer probe into the probe cover, then lubricate the probe cover with a water-soluble jelly for easier insertion. Do not use petroleum jelly. Note: Use of the probe cover may result in a 0.2°F (0.1°C) difference from actual temperature. If not using a probe cover, lubricate the probe with petroleum jelly. Insert probe no more than ½ inch (1 cm) into the rectum. Stop if you meet any resistance. The sensing device is on the tip of the probe and there is no need to insert the probe deep into the rectum. Normal rectal temperature is approximately between 97.2°F and 99.9°F (36.2°C and 37.7°C).

Underarm Use (Axillary): Wipe underarm dry. Place probe underarm and keep arm pressed firmly to the side. Normal underarm temperature is approximately between 95.4°F and 98.1°F (35.2°C and 36.7°C). Note: From a medical point of view, the underarm method provides inaccurate measurements, and should not be used if precise measurement is required.
4. The degree sign flashes throughout the measurement process. When the measurement is complete, the alarm beeps for approximately 10 seconds, the degree sign tops flashing, and the correct temperature is shown. The temperature measurement will continue to display once the alarm has stopped, the degree sign has stopped flashing, and the thermometer is moved from the measurement location.
Note: If the measured temperature is less than 90°F (32°C), the screen will display Lo;
If the measured temperature is greater than 109.9°F (42.9°C), the screen will display Hi.
5. The thermometer will automatically turn off in approximately ten minutes. To prolong battery life, turn the thermometer off by pressing the ON/OFF button once the temperature has been noted.
Normal Temperature Alarm: When the peak temperature has registered, the “Normal Temperature” alarm (evenly spaced beeps) will sound for approximately 10 seconds.  Fever Alarm: When the peak temperature has registered higher than 100.0°F (37.8°C), the fever alarm (quick beeps) will sound for approximately 10 seconds.
Automatic Last Temperature Recall: When the ON/OFF button is pressed to activate the thermometer, the display will change to show the last measured temperature value, then enter measurement mode.
Fahrenheit and Celsius Switchable: To switch Fahrenheit or Celsius mode: with the unit, off, press and hold the ON/OFF button for approximately four seconds.

Note: Always disinfect the thermometer before use.
Note: When finished, dispose of any used probe shield and store the thermometer in a safe place.
