User Guide

What is a “normal” body temperature reading?
Although the generally accepted “normal” temperature is 37.0°, temperatures can
vary from 36.1°C to 37.2°C and still may be considered “normal”. Variations in
temperature can be attributed to activities such as exercise, smoking, eating and
drinking. Even time of day may influence your temperature. For example, your
temperature is lower in the morning than in the afternoon. Other variations may
be due to the location of the temperature reading. While the oral temperature
follows the guidelines described above, a rectal temperature is generally 0.6°C
higher. Conversely, an axillary (under the arm) temperature will be 0.6°C lower.

Features of your Accuflex Pro digital thermometer
It will first show all displays, indicating that all parts of the display are functioning
properly. The thermometer will then briefly display 36.5 °C, then a flashing °C
along with the letter "L" if the ambient temperature is below 32 °C, or the letter
"H" if the ambient temperature is above 43 °C. The flashing Celsius sign
indicates that the thermometer is ready to use.

Cleaning instructions
Before and after each use, clean the thermometer with a soft cloth and 70%
isopropyl alcohol diluted with water, or wash with COLD soapy water. An intact
unit can be submersed in water or alcohol. However, do not soak in either for
an extended period of time.
1. The unit must never be sterilized by boiling, gas or steam.
2. The use of any other solution or cleaning method beyond the above
mentioned may result in reliability problems with the thermometer and void
its warranty.
How to take your temperature
1. Clean and disinfect the thermometer according to the instructions provided.
2. Decide whether the measurement will be oral, rectal or underarm.
Note: Measurement time may vary based on the selected site.
3. Press the ON/OFF button (the unit will beep) to activate the thermometer.

Taking a rectal temperature
Approximate measurement time: 10.2 seconds.
Note: Rectal temperatures are an appropriate and reliable method for infants
and small children. Otherwise, this method should only be used when it is
impossible or impractical to take an oral or axillary temperature.
1. Apply a water-soluble lubricant to the tip and insert the probe to a MAXIMUM
of 1/2” (1.25 cm) into the rectum.
2. Wait a few seconds and then press the ON/OFF button (the unit will beep).
The thermometer first show all displays, then 36.5 °C, then a flashing °C
which means it is now taking readings.
3. When the peak temperature has been reached, the °C will stop flashing.
The thermometer will sound four quick beeps and display the temperature.
Temperature display will take a second or two to stabilize and show final
reading. Remove after temperature reading is stabilized.
Note: Temperature reading may increase – even after the 4 beeps – if the
thermometer is moved into a warmer place. If this happens allow a few
seconds for the thermometer to re-stabilize and show final reading.
4. To turn the unit off, press the ON/OFF button. The unit will automatically shut
off after approximately six minutes.
Note: Rectal temperatures are generally 0.6°C higher than oral readings.

General care
1. The thermometer should only be used under the supervision of an adult.
2. Do not walk, run or talk during temperature taking.
3. Clean the thermometer before and after each use.
4. Store the unit in the protective case when not in use.
5. Do not bite the probe.
6. Do not store the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, dust or
humidity. Avoid extreme temperatures.
7. Dropping or subjecting your thermometer to strong shocks should be avoided.
8. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit, except to replace the battery.
Changing the battery
The battery in your digital thermometer needs to be replaced when the “ ”
symbol appears in the middle right of the display. Replace the battery with a
1.55V, AG3 alkaline or SR41 silver oxide type or equivalent.
To replace the battery,
1. Slide the battery cap away from the unit.
2. Using a non-metal pointed tool, carefully
remove the battery and insert the new
battery with the positive (+) side facing
the display side of the unit.
3. Carefully slide the battery cap back
into place, making sure that the cap
fits snugly to protect the battery
compartment from moisture.
Note: Please properly dispose of the battery
away from small children and heat.
