Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the BébéSounds® 5- Second
Our thermometer is designed to measure body temperature in three ways – orally, rectally, or under the arm (axillary). It will provide you with an oral or rectal reading in 5 seconds and an axillary reading in 20 seconds. Please keep in mind that body temperatures will differ based on a person’s age and the time of day it is taken. If you are monitoring your child’s temperature, please be sure to use the same method of measurement when comparing several readings.
Important: the use of this thermometer should not replace a visit to your doctor. It is recommended that you advise your doctor any time a temperature is above 100˚F/37.8˚C.

Oral, Rectal, and Axillary (underarm) Temperature Ranges
Normal body temperature varies from person to person and depends on factors such as age, gender, physical activity, environmental temperature, and time of day. Normal oral temperatures may range from 95.9˚F/35.5˚C to 100.4˚F/37.8˚C. An oral temperature can also be as much as 0.9˚F/0.5˚C lower than a rectal reading and 0.9˚F/0.5˚C higher than an axillary reading. Please keep this in mind when monitoring your child’s temperature.
Instructions
Please follow these instructions to insure the most accurate reading possible.
For First Time Use
The first time you use the thermometer press the Mode (M) button to select the method of measurement and the reading in Fahrenheit (F) or Centigrade (C). Be sure to do this before you turn the thermometer on. Each time you press the Mode button a different measurement method will appear on the screen. Stop when the desired method appears. You will only need to follow this step after the first use if you want to change the method of measurement.
