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 display unit.
Safety Information:
ARNING: This is OT an ear thermometer. EVER put probe into ear. Take temperature
measurements Underarm, Orally or Rectally.
ARNING: ever allow children to play with this product. It is not a toy. This is a sensitive
electronic device and may be damaged if not used properly under parental
supervision.
ARNING: Always supervise your child when using thermometer. EVER allow your
child to use it alone or without close parental supervision.
ARNING: Avoid sudden impact and dust. Do not expose the thermometer to extrem
temperatures, humidity, direct sunlight or shock.
ARNING: Temperature readings are affected by many factors including exercise,
drinking hot or cold beverages prior to taking a reading as well as technique.
ARNING: Do not allow children to walk or run during temperature taking. Do not
allow children to chew on or bend the thermometer. The probe could present a hazard.
ARNING: Rectal temperatures vary by approximately 0.9°F/0.5°C.
ARNING: High, prolonged fever requires medical attention, especially for young chil-
dren. Please contact your physician.
ARNING: Do not use the device if you think it is damaged or if anything appears unusual.
ARNING: Using the unit in the immediate vicinity of mobile phones, microwave
appliances or other devices with strong electromagnetic fields may result in impaired
functioning

How to take temperature:
NOTE: Be sure probe tip is clean before using.
1.While thermometer is OFF, press the O /OFF button.
2.You will hear a short beep then all segments (Figure 1) will
display for 1 second with red backlight for 0.5 second and then
green backlight for 0.5 second. This is a function check indicating the unit is working properly.
3.Display will show last reading memory with green backlight for 3 seconds. A scrolling dash
“-” will display to start measurement. A long beep (for 1 second) is heard when the tempera-
ture is between 89.6°F (34°C) ~ 99.5°F (37.5°C) with the green backlight displayed. Four
Beeps are heard when the temperature is higher than 99.5°F (37.5°C) with a red backlight dis-
play.
Two beeps are heard first, then four beeps when the temperature is higher than
109.2°F (42.9°C) with icon H and red backlight displayed.
4.Read and record the temperature and time for reference. The reading will automatically be
stored in memory, but it is recommended to read and record the temperature and time for later
reference.
5.Press the O /OFF button to turn the thermometer OFF. If you do not turn the thermometer
OFF manually, the thermometer will shut off automatically in approximately 5 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. Instruct children not to
bite down on the probe (Figure 2).
3.The peak temperature should be reached in approximately 8 seconds. Opening the mouth
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 un-
derarm temperature.
2.Lubricate probe tip with a water-soluble lubricant or petroleum jelly.
3.Gently insert the probe tip no more than 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) into the rectum. Do not force
the tip into the rectum if resistance is encountered.
4.Clean the thermometer as recommended.

Underarm (Axillary) use:
1.Wipe underarm with a dry towel.
2.Place probe tip in armpit and bring arm down against the body. The
thermometer should be pointing upward in the same direction as your
body if possible (Figure 3).
3.The time required for an accurate underarm temperature may be 12 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) While thermometer is OFF, press and hold the O /OFF button
until the display appears with flashing scale (F°/C°) (as shown).
Press it again to switch between °F or °C. Power off automatically
after switch completed.
Changing the battery:
When “ ” appears in the lower right of the display, the battery is
exhausted. Turn battery cover to unlock position and remove. Re-
move the old battery. Be aware of any local regulations concerning
disposal of batteries. Place a CR2032 lithium battery inside with the
positive side facing up. Replace the battery cover on the thermometer
and turn to lock
position.
Memory Function: The thermometer memory function stores 1 measurement. The last
measurement will appear with green backlight (temperature lower than 99.5° F / 37.5° C) or
red backlight (temperature higher than 99.5° F / 37.5° C) for 1 second.
