The thermometer you purchased offers a safe, accurate and quick temperature reading. Select oral, rectal or axillary (underarm), as your measurement site. No need to worry about broken glass or mercury hazards. Your temperature is affected by smoking, eating or drinking. Read this instruction manual completely before using your Omron
SAFETY INFORMATION:
•High, prolonged fever requires medical attention especially for young children. Please contact your physician.
•Do not allow children to take their temperatures 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 a reading as well as technique.
•Do not allow children to walk or run when taking a temperature.
SPECIAL PRODUCT FEATURES:
•ºF symbol stops flashing when the highest temperature is reached
•Waterproof... for Easy Cleaning.
•Long Life,
•Low battery indicator “ ”.
•Auto off after approximately 10 minutes.
•Oral, Rectal or Underarm use.
HOW TO CARE FOR THIS PRODUCT:
• | Use of probe covers is recommended to help avoid spreading germs, and to keep the thermometer clean. |
| The thermometer should be cleaned after use even when probe covers are used. |
• | Clean the thermometer tip and probe using isopropyl alcohol or soap and water. |
• | Do not store or keep in direct sunlight or at high temperatures. |
ORAL USE: (for children 4 years and older)
•Do not drink hot or cold fluids, exercise or perform other activities that will raise or lower temperature readings when compared to your normal, average temperature. The mouth should remain closed up to 5 minutes before attempting a reading.
•Place the probe tip well under the tongue as indicated by the “✔”. (figure 2) Instruct children not to bite down on the probe.
• The peak temperature should be reached in approximately 60 seconds. Opening the mouth or improper placement of the probe tip could result in a longer time for a reading.
•When peak temperature is reached, the °F symbol will stop flashing. Please note: When the °F stops flashing and the display reads a consistent temperature, the peak temperature has been reached. This thermometer does not have a beeper function.
•Read and record the temperature and time for reference.
•Push the on/off button to turn the unit off. This will prolong the battery life.
RECTAL USE:
•Commonly used for 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.
•Dispose of the used probe cover and wash the thermometer as recommended.
•The peak temperature should be reached in approximately 40 seconds.
UNDERARM (AXILLARY) USE:
•Wipe underarm with a dry towel.
•Place probe tip in armpit and bring arm down against the body (figure 3).
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 |

LIMITED WARRANTIES
• Do not drop the thermometer, as this may damage the unit. |
WHAT IS A “NORMAL” TEMPERATURE?:
Temperature readings vary in different individuals. A normal temperature refers to each individual’s average temperature while they are well. Normal average temperatures range form 97°F/36.1°C to 100°F/37.7°C when taken orally. From an oral temperature, you may calculate a rectal equivalent temperature by adding 1°F/0.5°C while an underarm temperature requires subtracting 1°F/0.5°C. For example, if your oral temperature is 98.6°F/37°C this is the same as a rectal temperature of 99.6°F/37.5°C or an underarm temperature of 97.6°F/36.4°C.
HOW TO TAKE TEMPERATURE:
•Place a probe cover carefully over the tip, (figure 1). Select oral, underarm or
rectal as your measurement site based on the individual.
• Push the on/off button located on the large end of the thermometer. The display will read: “188.8° F”. This is a function check indicating the unit is working properly. The thermometer will read L°F and begin measuring temperature when exposed to body heat.
•The °F symbol will continuously flash until completion of the temperature taking process. Please note that “ ” indicates a low battery. See instructions for low battery indicator (on next page). Do not expect an accurate temperature reading if this low battery indicator is present. An “ERR” message in the window indicates your unit is not functioning properly.
