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.
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 usually 0.5°F. to 1.0°F degree lower than rectal readings;
axillary readings are generally 0.5°F to 1.0°F lower than oral readings.

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 wip-
ing it with a dry cloth and disinfect the probe with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. See cleaning in-
structions 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 except to replace the battery.
CAUTION: Do not use this device close to strong electromagnetic fields, such as mobile tele-
phones.
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: P22: 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°.
How to se
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. f 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. See instructions for replacing
battery before measuring temperature. 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
approximately 30-40 (oral), 25-35 (rectal), or 90 (axillary) seconds. The display
will flash and the unit will beep signaling completion.
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.
nstruct children not to bite down on the probe. The peak
temperature should be reached in as little as 30* seconds.
Opening the mouth or improper placement of the probe tip
could result in a longer time for a reading.
(*30 second response time achieved in water bath test)
Rectal Use: Lubricate the probe cover with a water-
soluble 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 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.
Dispose of the used probe cover and wash the thermometer as recommended. The
peak temperature should be reached in approximately 25-35 seconds.
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. n order to achieve a better
axillary reading, a minimum measuring time of 90 seconds or
longer is recommended, depending on placement of the probe
and closure of the arm against the body.
Battery Replacement
1. When the symbol “ ” appears, the battery needs to
be replaced.
2. Remove battery compartment lid (Figure 4).
3. Use a pointed object such as a toothpick to pry loose the
old battery. Avoid using any sharp metal object.
4. Place new 1.55V coin-type battery (LR41 or equivalent) in the chamber with the
positive (+) side facing up or towards the display of the unit.
5. Replace the battery compartment lid.
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.
