How to take te perature:
1. Place a probe cover carefully over the tip (Figure 1).
Select oral, underarm, or rectal as your measurement
site based on the individual requiring a temperature
measurement.
2. Push the Multi-Function button located at the end of the thermometer. The display
will read: “1 . ° ”. This is a function check indicating the unit is working properly.
The last measured temperature will be displayed for approximately 2-seconds. Next
the thermometer will read L°F.(or L°C).
3. 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.
4. Depending on the measurement site, the unit will complete measurement in 40
(rectal), 60 (oral), 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.
5. Read and record the temperature and time for reference. The reading will automatically
be stored in the memory.
6. Push the Multi-Function button to turn the unit off. This will prolong the battery life.
If you do not turn the unit off, it will shut off automatically in approximately ’40”+/-1
minutes.
Oral use: (for children 4 years and older)
1. Do not drink hot or cold fluids, exercise or perform other activities
that will raise or lower temperature readings when compared to
your normal, average temperature. The mouth should remain
closed up to 5 minutes before attempting a reading.
2. Place the probe tip well under the tongue as indicated (Figure 2).
3. Instruct children not to bite down on the probe.
4. The peak temperature should be reached in approximately
60 seconds, and a beep will sound. Opening the mouth or improper placement
of the probe tip could result in a longer time for a reading.
Rectal use:
1. Commonly used for babies, young children or when it is difficult to take an oral or
underarm temperature.
2. After placing the probe cover on the thermometer, lubricate with a water-soluble jelly
or petroleum jelly .
3. Gently insert the probe tip no more than 1/2 inch or 1.3 cm into the rectum. Do not
force the tip into the rectum if resistance is encountered.
4. Dispose of the used probe cover and wash the thermometer as recommended.
5. The peak temperature should be reached in approximately 40 seconds, and a beep
will sound.
Underar (Axillary) use:
1. Wipe underarm with a dry towel.
2. Place probe tip in armpit and bring arm down against the body.
3. The probe should be pointing upward in the same direction as your body if possible.
4. The time required for an accurate underarm temperature may be 90 seconds or
longer depending on placement of the probe and closure of the arm against the body.
Operation of the °F - °C feature (How to change the measuring scale) From the “OFF”
position, hold down the Multi-Function button for 5-sec. The thermometer will
automatically change from °F - °C or °C - °F. Release the button. You may toggle
between °C +°F. After 3-sec. in one scale the °C or °F will flash, indicating ready to
measure.
