Congratulations
on your purchase of this product.
Please read the instructions carefully before using
the thermometer for the first time and keep these
instructions
in a safe place. This product is i11tended for
measurement
of human body temperature.
Operating Instructions
Before using, please disinfect the probe.
To switch on,
press the ON/OFF button next
to the display. A short
beep will sound indicating that the thermometer runs
a self-check test during which all the digital segments
appear on the
LCD. This will be folowed by the last
measured temperature. After this, the letters "Lo" and
a flashing "0
C" or "°F" appear and the thermometer
is ready for use. If the ambient temperature is below
32°C
or 89.6°F , then " Lo °C" or " Lo °F" will appear on
the LCD. If the ambient temperature is over 42. 9°C
or 109.2°F; " Hi
0
(" or "Hi °F "will appear on the LCD .
During the temperature reading, the temperature
is
displayed continuously and the "0 C" or "° F" symbol
flashes.The measurement
is completed when a
constant temperature value
has been reached. The
temperature value
is considered constant when the
temperature
rises less than 0.1 °C within 3 seconds.
When
the constant temperature value is reached, a
beep will sound
10 times "bi -bi-bi-bi- .. :; and the "°C" or
"°F" symbol will stop flashing. The highest measured
temperature appears on the
LCD .
Fever alarm
If the detected body temperature exceeds 37.5°C/
99.5°F the
thermometer will sound a fever alarm: "bi-
bi-bi---bi-bi-bi---
.. : '.
Note: this a maximum thermometer and the displayed
temperature can increase slightly
if the measurement
continues after
the beeps. This is particularly the case
with axillary measurements which require a signifi-
cantly longer measurem~nt
time for accurate measu-
rements.
Please follow the instructions described in
the "Methods of measuring temperature" section.
Fever indication
@ Over 37.9°C/ 100.2°F; fever!
A 37.5°C-37.9°C/ 99.5°F-100.2°F; sligh
tly higher
\::;I temperature.
@ < 37.4°C/
99.5°F; good temperature.
Auto - off function
When the measurement is comp leted, switch the
t
hermomet er off by pr ess ing t he ON / OFF button. If not
sw it ched off, the thermometer wi ll sh ut off au tom ati-
ca lly aft er 10 m inutes.
Memory function
When the thermometer
is turned on, the last measu-
rement will show on
scre en for 2 seconds. Pr e ss the
button again
to turn the thermometer off. When the
thermometer will remain turned on, the result will be
overwritten by the new measurement.
Methods
of measuring temperature
It
is important to remember that the body tempe-
rature read ing depends on the position where
it is
measured. For this reason, the measurement position
must always be specified in order
to ensure that a
correct temperature reading
is recorded.
Rectal/ Vaginal Measurement
This
is the most accurate method from a medical poi nt
of view because it is closest to the core body tempera-
ture. The thermometer
tip is inserted carefully into the
rectum for a maximum
of 2 cm. The usual measuring
time
is approximately 8 to 15 seconds.
Axillary Measurement
Pla cing the thermometer in the armpit provides
a measurement
of surface temperature that can
fluctuate by around 0.5°C/0.9°F
to 1.5°C/2.5°F from
rectal/ vaginal temperature readings in adults. The
usual measuring time for this method
is approxi-
mately
20 to 30 seconds. It should be noted that an
exact reading won't be obtained if, for example, the
armpit temperature
is lower than normal (the armpit
temperature has been cooled down). If this is the case,
extend the measuring time to 5 minutes in order to
obtain a reading that corresponds more closely to the
core body temperature.
Oral Measurement
There are different heat zones in the mouth.
As a
general rule, the oral temperature
is 0.3°C/0.5°F to
0.8°C/1.4°F lower than the rectal/ vaginal tempe-
rature. To ensure that the reading is as accurate as
possible, place the thermometer tip to the left or right
of the root of the tongue. The thermometer tip should
remain in constant contact
with the tissue under the
tonque during the reading.The mouth should remain
closed during the reading. Eating
or drinking or bre-
athing
through the mouth just before measuring will
result in an inaccurate temperature reading.The usual
measuring
time is approximately 8 to 15 seconds.
°C and °F switch
Turn the thermometer
off . Press and hold the On/Off
Button for 3 seconds to switch the measuring scale.
Cleaning and disinfection
The best way to clean the thermometer tip is by
applying a disinfectant (e.g. 70% ethyl alcohol) with
a damp cloth. Th is waterpr oof thermometer can be
immersed in lukewarm water
for thorough cleaning
and disinfection.
Safety precautions
Do not expose the thermometer to hot water
over 50°C/122°F.
Do
not expose the thermometer to high tempe
ratur
es or direct sunlight.

Do not drop the thermometer. It is neither
shock-proof nor impact-resistant.
Do not bend or open the device (except the
battery compartment).
Do
not clean with thinners, petrol or benzene.
Only clean the thermometer with water or
disinfectant.
Do
not immerse the thermometer under water
deeper than 15cm for longer than 5 minutes.
The thermometer contains small parts (inclu-
ding a battery) which can be swallowed by
children.
For this reason, do not leave the ther-
mometer unattended in the hands
of children.
Avoid bending the flexible tip by more than
45
degrees.
If the ambient temperature is over 35°C/95°F,
dip the thermometer tip in cold water for 10
seconds prior to measuring the temperature.
Persistent fever, in particular in children,
has to
be treated by a doctor. Pl
ease get in touch with
your doctor!
Battery replacement
The battery
is empty and needs replacing when the
battery symbol D appears on the right
of the LCD . Re-
move the philips screw from the back of the thermo-
meter. Pull
off the battery cover. Gently slide out the
ci rcu it board with the battery chamber approximately
up
to 1 cm and replace the battery by one of the same
type (preferably non-mercury) with the"+" polarity
fa cing up. After replacing the battery, reposition the
circuit board, the battery cover and the philips screw.
To protect the environment, please do not dispose of
batteries as normal waste. Instead, please hand them
in at a collection
point or municipal recyclable material
centre
as special waste.
