WARNING: This instrument is designed for oral, rectal, or axillary use only.
WARNING: High prolonged fever requires medical attention, especially for young children.
Please contact your physician.
WARNING: Keep out of reach of unsupervised children.
Components may be harmful if swallowed.
WARNING: Stop using the thermometer if it operates erratically or if the display malfunctions.
WARNING: Oral temperature readings are often 1.0°F. to 2.0°F lower than actual body
temperatures; rectal measurements are generally 1.0°F. to 2.0°F higher.
WARNING: Avoid taking temperature for 30 minutes after physical exercise, bathing,
dining, or drinking hot or cold beverages.
WARNING: Allow the thermometer to warm naturally to room temperature before using.
Performance may be affected if operated or stored outside stated temperature and humidity
ranges or if the patient's temperature is below the ambient (room) temperature.
WARNING: After using, clean the thermometer and place it into the case. Clean the unit by
wiping it with a dry cloth and disinfect the probe with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol.
See cleaning instructions for additional details.
CAUTION: Keep thermometer away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or dust.
CAUTION: Do not boil, bite, bend, drop, or disassemble the thermometer.
CAUTION: Do not open the unit.
CAUTION: Do not use this device close to strong electromagnetic fields, such as
mobile telephones.
CAUTION: Do not autoclave. Please note the cleaning procedures described in this manual.
CAUTION: Dispose of batteries in accordance with locally applicable regulations, not with
domestic waste.
CAUTION: IP22: Protected against solid foreign objects of 12.5mm diameter and greater.
Protected against vertically falling water drops when the device is tilted up to 15°.
General Warnings
A warning statement in this manual identifies a condition or practice which, if not
corrected or discontinued immediately, could lead to patient injury, illness, or death.

How to Use:
1. Disinfect the probe with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol before using.
2. Press and release the multifunction button. The display will read confirming the
unit is functioning properly. The last measured temperature will be displayed for
approximately 2 seconds. Next the thermometer will read L°F (or L°C).
3. We recommend using probe covers with all digital stick thermometers. If using, place cover
over tip of unit.
4. Place the probe in the appropriate position for your measurement site (see Ensuring
Accurate Temperature Measurement below).
5. The °F or °C symbol will flash when the unit is ready to measure temperature. Please note
that the “ ” indicates a low battery. Do not expect an accurate temperature reading if this
low battery indicator is present. An “ERR” message in the window indicates your unit is not
functioning properly.
6. Depending on the measurement site, the unit will complete measurement in 60 (oral), 40
(rectal), or approximately 90 (axillary) seconds. When the F° or C° symbol stops flashing
and the display reads a consistant temperature, the peak temperature has been reached.
7. Read and record the temperature and time for reference. The reading will automatically be
stored in the memory.
8. The unit will automatically turn off in about 8 minutes. To prolong battery life, press the
multifuction button to turn off the device manually.
Switching Temperature Modes
From the OFF position, the Celsius or Fahrenheit mode can be switched by pressing and
holding the multifunction button for at least 5 seconds.
After 3 seconds in one scale the °F or °C will flash, indicating ready to measure.
Ensuring Accurate Temperature Measurement
We recommend using probe covers with all digital stick
thermometers (Figure 1).
Oral use: Place the probe well under the patient’s tongue
(Figure 2). Keep mouth closed while thermometer is reading.
Instruct children not to bite down on the probe. The peak
temperature should be reached in approximately 60 sec-
onds, and will make a continuous beeping sound. Open-
ing the mouth or improper placement of the probe tip
could result in a longer time for a reading.
Rectal Use: Lubricate the probe cover with a
water-soluable jelly for easier insertion; do not use
petroleum jelly, as it may cause an inaccurate reading.
Gently insert the tip of the probe no more than 1/2 inch into the
Figure 1

rectum. The peak temperature should be reached in approximately 40
seconds, and will make a continuous beeping sound.
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. Dispose of the used probe cover and clean the ther-
mometer as recommended.
Axillary Use: Wipe armpit with a dry towel. Place the probe in the
patient’s armpit (Figure 3) and keep the patient’s arm pressed firmly
against the body. In order to achieve a better axillary reading, a
minimum measuring time of 90 seconds or longer is recommended, depending on place-
ment of the probe and closure of the arm against the body.
Cleaning and Disinfecting
Do not use corrosive detergent to clean the unit.
Clean and disinfect the thermometer before and after each use.
Cleaning Process
1.Wipe probe with a cloth dipped in a disinfectant solution such as 70% isopropyl
(rubbing) alcohol or soap and water.
2.Rinse off disinfectant residue.
Care and Storage
• Do NOT drop or crush; this device is not shock proof.
• Do NOT dismantle or modify device.
• Do NOT store the device in an extreme environment with direct sunlight or
high temperatures.
• Store the unit in the protective case while not in use.
