Intended Use:
A digital thermometer is a device used to measure the body temperature of a patient by
means of a transducer coupled with an electric signal amplification, conditioning, and dis-
play unit.
Safety Informat on:
• High, prolonged fever requires medical attention especially for young children. Please con-
tact your physician.
• Do not allow children to take their temperatures unattended.
• Read the enclosed instructions carefully to ensure accurate temperature readings. Tempera-
ture readings are affected by many factors including exercise, drinking hot or cold beverages
prior to taking a reading as well as technique.
• Do not allow children to walk or run during temperature taking. The probe could present
a hazard. Oral, underarm, and rectal temperatures vary by approximately 1°F (0.5°C).
• Dispose of batteries in accordance with locally applicable regulations, not with domestic
waste.
• CAUTION: Do not take an axillary temperature through patient’s clothing. Direct probe
cover to skin contact is required.
• CAUTION: Biting the probe tip while taking a temperature may result in damage to the
probe.
• CAUTION: Do not autoclave. Please note the cleaning procedures described in this
manual
•
WARNING:
This product may contain a chemical known to the state of California to
cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
• WARNING: Keep battery out of children’s reach. Swallowing battery could be harmful.
Battery should not be recharged or placed into extreme heat as it may explode.
How to take temperature:
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. Figure 1

2. Push the Multi-Function button located on the end of the thermometer. The ther-
mometer will beep and the display will read: “188.8 ° ”. This is a function check indicat-
ing the unit is working properly. The last measured temperature will be displayed for
approximately 2-seconds. ext the thermometer will read ---°F.(or ---°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. See instructions for replacing bat-
tery 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.
4. Regardless of the measurement site, the unit will complete measurement in 8 sec-
onds. The °F or °C symbol will stop flashing and the unit will beep signaling com-
pletion.
5. Read and record the temperature and time for reference. The reading will automati-
cally 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 10
minutes.
Oral use: (for children 4 years and older)
1. Do not drink hot or cold fluids, exercise or perform other ac-
tivities that will raise or lower temperature readings when com-
pared 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 (Fig-
ure 2).
3. Instruct children not to bite down on the probe.
4. The peak temperature should be reached in approximately 8
seconds. 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
forcethe 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 8 seconds.
Underarm (Ax llary) 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 possi-
ble.
4. The time required for an accurate underarm temperature may be 8 seconds or
longer depending on placement of the probe and closure of the arm against the body.
Operat on of the °F - °C feature (How to change the measuring scale)
From the “OFF” position, hold down the “Multi-Function” button for 5-seconds, and
wait for the thermometer to display ‘L’ with the °F next to it. Then press the “Multi-
Function” button a second time to change the scale. After the scale is changed, the °C
or °F will begin to flash indicating it is ready to measure.
Chang ng the battery:
When the “ ” appears in the lower right of the display,
the battery is exhausted and needs replacing. Make
sure a battery of the same type is on hand and proceed
as follows: Remove battery cover. Use a small Phillips
screwdriver to remove battery compartment lid. Insert
new equivalent battery type (1.55v, LR41 or SR41). En-
sure battery is correctly positioned with the “+” facing
up or towards the back of the unit. Carefully replace the
battery compartment lid, and then the battery cover. Properly dispose of the batteries,
keeping them from small children and heat.
