PARTS DESCRIPTION
Please read carefully before using
Fast oral and rectal temperature measurement in around 30 seconds with
proper use.
Memory displays for the last temperature taken.
Easy to read digital LCD display.
It will automatically shut o in about 9 minutes, if left on.
Low battery indicator.
This unit is waterproof.
THE TAKING OF BODY TEMPERATURE:
Change in body temperature is one of the most important indicators of
illness. It is important that accurate temperatures be taken. Even though
the digital thermometer is used in similar manner to the glass thermometer,
it is important that the simple instructions for use of this thermometer be
followed closely and that the person taking the temperature understands
body temperature.
To clean the thermometer, wash the tip with a solution of mild detergent and
cool water. Disinfect the thermometer by wiping the sensor and lower stem
with a cloth dipped in a household antiseptic solution as rubbing alcohol.
P: If the temperature is more than 43°C/109°F, the LCD display “Hi”.
S: Recheck the measured object before measuring again.
P: If the temperature is below that 32°C/89.6°F the LCD will keep
displaying“Lo”.
S: Recheck the measured object before measuring again.
P: Informing battery replacement time
S: Replace the battery
P: If the thermometer has some problems and can’t measure
temperatures, the LCD will display“Err”
S: Check battery and measure again.
ORAL USE
Place the probe well under the patient’s tongue. Instruct
the patient to keep their mouth closed while the
thermometer is reading.
A normal temperature by this method is usually
considered between 36.0°C to 37.5°C(96.8°F to 99.5°F).
RECTAL USE
If rectal temperature is recommended by your doctor, you may use a probe
shield. Insert thermometer into the probe shield. Lubricate the probe
cover with a water soluble jelly for easier insertion. Do not use petroleum
jelly. Insert tip of probe no more than ½ inch into 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. In general, the
rectal temperature is around 0.5°C to 1.0°C (1.0°F to 2.0°F) higher than oral
temperature.
AXILLARY USE
Wipe armpit with a dry towel. Place probe in the patient’s armpit and
keep the patient’s arm pressed rmly against the body. In general, the
axillary temperature is around 0.5°C to 1.0°C (1.0°F to 2.0°F) lower than
oral temperature. Note that in order to achieve better axillary temperature
measurement result, a minimum measuring time of 3-5 minutes is
recommended regardless of the beep sound.
NOTE: Children should be attended by an adult during the entire temperature
recording process. After use, the digital thermometer should be stored in
a safe place, out of reach of young children. If you compare temperatures
between two thermometers, it is possible to have two dierent readings even
if both thermometers are within their accuracy tolerance. Dierences in how
you take each reading and the thermometer’s tolerance range can account
for nearly 0.1°C (0.2°F) variability.
Special features:
Normal Temperature Alarm: An alarm will sound when the peak temperature
has registered and is ready-to-read. The “Normal Temperature”alarm (four quick
beeps followed by a pause) will sound repeatedly for approximately 8 seconds.
For Models with Fever Alarm: If the temperature registers higher than
37.5°(99.5°F), the fever alarm(a quick beeping sounds which occurs continuously
for about 8 seconds) will sound when the peak temperature has registered. Also,
the result will keep ashing until the thermometer is turned o.
For Switchable Centigrade and Fahrenheit Models: After turning on the
thermometer, the Centigrade or Fahrenheit mode can be switched within the rs
5 seconds by pressing the ON/OFF button.
NOTE: Always disinfect before using.
For best results, do not use the fast read thermometer for axillary (underarm)
measurement. Only use it for taking oral and rectal temperatures.
Do not boil the probe. Instead, clean the unit by wiping it with a dry cloth and
disinfect the probe with ethyl (rubbing) alcohol.
Do not drop the thermometer or expose to heavy shock. The unit is not shock proof.
Do nor bend or bite the probe.
Do not store the unit in direct sunlight, or at a high temperature, or in high
humidity or dust. Performance may be degraded.
Stop using the thermometer if it operates erratically or if display malfunctions.
Keep out of the reach of unsupervised children.
Clean the thermometer probe before storing.
Do not attempt to disassemble the unit except to replace the battery.
If the thermometer has been stored at below-freezing temperatures, allow the
thermometer to warm naturally to room temperature before using.
Performance of the device may be degraded if operated or stored outside stated
temperatures and humidity ranges or the patient’s temperature is below the
ambient (room) temperature.
1. When the symbol “ “, appears, the battery needs to be replaced.
2. Pull the battery cover o in the direction shown.
3. If necessary, use a pointed object such as a toothpick or insulated probe to pry
loose the battery cover and the old battery.
Avoid using any sharp metal object in this operation.
4. Place a new battery into the battery holder.
5. Replace and fasten the battery cover securely.
1. Discard old battery carefully, out of reach of young children. Swallowing the
battery may be fatal. If the battery swallowed, contact a hospital immediately
to have it removed. Do not dispose of the battery in a re. It may explode.
2. For battery disposition, please consider the national regulation.
1. Disinfect the probe with ethyl (rubbing) alcohol before using.
2. Depress the ON/OFF button. The display will read or
3. Release the power switch and the display will show L°C (L°F) with °C(°F).
4. Place the probe in the appropriate position (oral, axillary or rectal).
5. Once the degree sign °C(°F) on the display has stopped ashing, the correct
temperature is indicated.
The temperature reading will not change after the °C(°F) stops ashing.
6. The unit will automatically turn o in 9 minutes (approx.). However, to prolong
battery life, it is best to turn the thermometer o by pressing the ON/OFF
button once the temperature has been noted.

3 V/m Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part
of the Digital Thermometer, including cables, than recommended separation distance
calculated from the equations applicable to the frequency of the transmitter.
Recommended separation distance
D = da 1,2√P 80 MHz a 800 MHz

Where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according
to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in meters
(m).
Field strengths from xed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site
survey, should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range.
IInterference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol:
NOTE 1 At 80 MHz e 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is aected by absorption and reection from structures, objects
and people.
a Fields strengths from xed transmitter, such as base station for radio (cellular / cordless) telephones and land mobile radio, amateur radio, AM and
FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to xed RF
transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured eld strength in the location in which the Digital Thermometer
is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Digital Thermometer should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal
performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the Digital Thermometer.
b. Over the frequency range 150kHz, eld strengths should be less then 3 V/m.
