Using Your Thermometer

Before You Begin: What to know before you get started:

IMPORTANT: Follow these guidelines:

•Brush hair away from the temple area.

•Press the Mode button to select forehead or underarm mode. Thermometer will start in last mode used.

•Use this thermometer on a clean, dry forehead or underarm. Wipe away any perspiration prior to use.

•Do not try to take a measurement until the two beeps are heard.

•Make sure that the thermometer and the patient do not move while measurement is in progress.

•Correct placement on the temple and good contact with the body ensure reliable measurements.

•As soon as the thermometer is in place, the measurement starts automatically. A running circle will appear indicating that measurement is progressing successfully.

•Wait at least 2 minutes before taking another measurement.

•Once the thermometer is “ready to measure”, it will shut off automatically after 1 minute if it has not maintained good contact with the patient’s skin.

•Clean the thermometer after each use (see “Care and Cleaning” section).
