WHAT IS A “NORMAL” TEMPERATURE?
Temperature readings vary among individuals. A normal temperature refers to each individual’s average temperature while they are well. Normal average temperatures range from 97°F/36.1°C to 100°F/37.7°C when taken orally. A rectal temperature is considered your real or “core” body temperature. A rectal temperature is 1°F/0.5°C higher than an oral reading and an underarm temperature is 1°F/0.5°C lower than an oral reading.
HOW TO TAKE TEMPERATURE
1. | Select oral, underarm or rectal as your measurement site (see |
| following instructions). |
2. | Push the ON/OFF button. The thermometer will beep and the |
| display will show all symbols. This is a function check indicating |
Wash the thermometer as recommended. 
Approximate measurement time is 40 to 60 seconds.
Once used rectally, the thermometer should not be used orally for sanitary reasons.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Wash the area extending about 2” from the tip with warm, soapy water after each use and dry thoroughly.
OR
Wipe the area extending about 2” from the tip with 70% isopropyl alcohol after each use.
NOTE: Do not submerge the thermometer in any liquid.

☞Do not allow children to take their temperature unattended.
☞Read the enclosed instructions carefully to ensure accurate temperature readings.
☞Temperature readings are affected by many factors including exercise, drinking hot or cold beverages prior to taking, and technique.
☞Do not allow children to walk or run during temperature taking. The rigid probe could present a hazard.
☞Oral, underarm, and rectal temperatures vary by approxi- mately 1°F (0.5°C).

HOW TO CARE FOR THIS PRODUCT
The thermometer should be cleaned after every use even when probe covers are used.

Do not drop the thermometer, as this may break the unit.
Do not attempt to disassemble the unit except to replace the battery.
| the unit is working properly. If a previous reading is stored in |
| memory, the thermometer will display the last temperature for |
| two seconds. The flashing symbol °F will appear with the “L” |
| or “H” symbol indicating that the thermometer is ready for |
| measurement. Begin measurement. |
3. | When the °F symbol stops flashing and the thermometer emits |
| four beeps, the temperature measurement is complete. |
4. | Read and record the temperature and time for reference. The |
| reading will automatically be stored in the memory until |
| another reading is taken or the batteries are removed from the |
| thermometer. |
5. | Push the ON/OFF button to turn the unit off. If you do not turn |
| the unit off, it will shut off automatically in approximately 10 |
| minutes. |
ORAL USE
Do not drink hot or cold fluids, exercise, smoke or perform other activities that raise or lower temperature directly prior to taking reading.
The mouth should remain closed up to 5 minutes before attempting a reading.
Place the probe tip well under the tongue in locations as indicated by the “ ” (see
diagram). Instruct children not to bite down on the probe.
The approximate measurement time is 60 seconds. Opening the mouth or improper placement of the probe tip may result in a longer time for a reading.
UNDERARM (AUXILIARY) USE
From a medical point of view, this method will always give an inaccurate reading and should not be used if a precise measurement is required.
Wipe underarm with a dry towel.
Place probe tip in armpit and bring arm
down against the body. The measuring sensor should be pointing upward parallel to the arm.
The approximate measurement time may be 2 minutes or longer depending on the placement of the probe and closure of the arm against the body.
RECTAL USE
Commonly used for babies, young children or when it is difficult to take an oral or underarm temperature.
After placing the probe cover on the thermometer, lubricate with a
Gently insert the probe tip no more than 1/2 inch or 1.3 cm into the rectum. Do not force the tip into the rectum if resistance is encountered.
CHANGING THE BATTERY
When the “
” appears and blinks, the battery needs to be replaced. Make sure you use the same type of battery and proceed as follows: Remove battery compartment lid. Use a non metal probe to remove battery. Insert new equivalent battery type (1.5V or LR41). Ensure battery is correctly positioned with the “+” facing up. Carefully replace the battery compartment lid. Properly dispose of the battery, keeping it from small children and heat.
CHANGING BETWEEN FAHRENHEIT & CELSIUS
1.This thermometer shows all results in Fahrenheit (F°).
2.To convert results shown in F° to Celsius (C°) use the following equation:
C° = 5/9 x (F°- 32)
3.Here is a helpful chart showing some Fahrenheit and Celsius equivalences:
F° 90.0° 92.0° 94.0° 96.0° 98.0° 100.0° 102.0° 104.0° 106.0° 108.0°
