DESCRIPTION
Note: The exterior of each model has a little difference.
Congratulations on your purchase of this product. Please read the instructions carefully before
using the thermometer for the first time, and keep these in a safe place. This product is intended
for the measurement of human body temperature. This product is for home and hospital use,
operator shall be at least 11 years old and patient can be operator.
Operating Instructions
Before using, please disinfect the probe at first. To switch on, press the ON/OFF button next to
the display, a short beep will sound, indicating that the thermometer is operational. At the same
time the thermometer runs a self-check test, during which all the digital segments appear on the
LCD. When the letters "Lo" and a flashing " °C " or " °F " display, the thermometer is now 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 and if it is more than 42.9°C or 109.2 °F, then " Hi °C " or
“Hi °F " will appear on the LCD.
During the reading, the current temperature is displayed continuously and the " °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 16 seconds. As soon as the constant temperature value is
reached, a beep will sound ten times, and the " °C " or " °F " symbol will stop flashing. The
highest temperature measured appears on the LCD. However, please note that this thermometer
is a maximum thermometer, i.e. the displayed temperature can increase slightly if measurement
continues after the beep. This is particularly the case with axillary measurements, should a
temperature value be recorded which approximates the core body temperature.
In this instance please note the description under " Methods of measuring temperature ". When
the measurement is completed, please switch the thermometer off by pressing the ON/OFF
button. After the temperature has been displayed, the thermometer will shut off automatically
in 10 minutes.
Memory function
Turn on the thermometer, the last measured temperature will display on the LCD for
approximately 2s after the self-check. The reading will be over-written when the " °C " or " °F "
flashes, i.e. the thermometer is ready for a next measurement, whether the new measurement is
complete or not.

Methods of measuring temperature
It is important to remember that the body temperature reading depends on the site where it is
measured. For this reason, the measurement site must always be specified in order to ensure that
a correct temperature reading is recorded.
In the rectum (rectal)
This is the most accurate method from a medical point of view, because it comes closest to the
core body temperature. The thermometer tip is inserted carefully into the rectum for a maximum
of 2 cm.
The usual measuring time is approximately 40 to 60 seconds.
Under the arm (axillary)
Placing the thermometer in the armpit provides a measurement of surface temperature that can
fluctuate by around 0.5°C to 1.5°C from rectal temperature readings in adults. The usual
measuring time for this method is approximately 80 to 120 seconds. It should be noted, however,
that an exact reading cannot be obtained if, for example, the armpits have been allowed to cool.
If this is the case, we recommend extending the measuring time by around 5 minutes in order to
obtain the most precise possible reading that corresponds as closely as possible to the core body
temperature.
In the mouth (oral)
There are different heat zones in the mouth. As a general rule, the oral temperature is 0.3°C to
0.8°C lower than the rectal temperature. To ensure that reading is as accurate as possible, place
the thermometer tip to the left or right of the root of the tongue. The thermometer tip must have
constant contact with the tissue during the reading and be placed under the tongue in one of the
two heat pockets at the back, keep the mouth closed during the reading and breathe evenly
through the nose. Do not eat or drink anything before the measurement. The usual measuring
time is approximately 50 to 70 seconds.
Note: We strongly recommend the rectal method as the most accurate method for identifying the
temperature, and advise you to extend the measuring time by 3 minutes after the beep.
Cleaning and disinfection
The best way to clean the thermometer tip is by applying a disinfectant (e.g. 70% medical
alcohol) with a damp cloth.
It shall be disinfected before each use. This thermometer is warned not waterproof and can not
be immersed in liquid or any other kind of water for through cleaning and disinfection.
Safety precautions
•Do not allow the device to come into contact with hot water.
•Do not expose to high temperatures or direct sunlight.
•Do not drop the thermometer. It is neither shock-proof or impact-resistant.
•Do not modify this device without the authorization of the manufacturer.
•Do not bend or open the device (except the battery compartment).
•Do not clean with thinners, petrol or benzene. Only clean with disinfectant.
•Do not immerse the thermometer in liquid.
•The thermometer contains small parts (battery, battery compartment) which can be
swallowed by children. For this reason, do not leave the thermometer unattended in the
hands of children.
•Avoid bending the thermometer tip.
•If the ambient temperature is over 35 °C or 95 °F, dip the thermometer tip in cold water
for approx. 5 to 10 seconds prior to measuring the temperature.
•Persistent fever, in particular in children, has to be treated by a doctor. Please get in touch
with your doctor!
•Do not use near strong electromagnetic fields, i.e. keep it away from any radio systems
and mobile phones.
Battery replacement
The battery is empty and needs replacing when the " " or " " battery symbol appears on
the right of the LCD. Remove the battery cover and replace it with a battery (preferably non-
mercury) of the same type.
