Important safety instructions
Not completely waterproof. Do not soak the LCD in water, only the probe is waterproof.
Turning on the thermometer
To turn on the thermometer, push the button over the display window; The LCD will show 188.8 for 2 seconds and you will hear a beep simultaneously. A display test is performed; all LCD segments are active. Then the last temperature reading will display on the LCD. Lastly, the display test will finish by showing an ambient temperature of 98.6 F or 37 C. After this disappears, Lo °C (Lo°F) sign shows. The thermometer is now ready for use.
Using the thermometer
Choose the preferred measuring method. During a measurement, the current temperature is displayed continuously. The «°C» or «°F» symbol flashes during this period of time. If the signaling tone sounds (beep-beep-beep 10 times) and the «°C» or «°F» is no longer flashing, this means that the thermometer is ready for reading. To prolong the life of the battery, turn it off after use by pressing the operating button briefly. Otherwise, the thermometer will automatically turn off in about 10 minutes.
Measuring methods
Oral
Position the thermometer in one of the two pockets under the tongue, to the left or right of the root of the tongue. The measuring sensor must be in good contact with the tissue. Close your mouth and breathe evenly through the nose to prevent the measurement from being influenced by inhaled/ exhaled air. Approx. measuring time: 20 seconds.
Rectal
Lubricate the probe with a water-soluble lubricant for easier insertion. Gently insert the probe about one centimeter (less than 1/2inch) into the patient’s rectum for about 90 seconds. Note: Please remember that the rectal temperature is a little higher than external temperature (about 0.5°C)
Axillary
Wipe underarm with a dry towel. Place probe tip in armpit and bring arm down against the body. The probe should be pointing upward in the same direction as your body if possible. The time required for an accurate underarm temperature may be 90 seconds or longer depending on placement of the probe and closure of the arm against the body.
