BODY TEMPERATURE
Normal Body Temperature fluctuates during the course of a day and depends on location of temperature reading. The generally accepted "normal" body temperature is 98.6°F(37.0°C) for oral. An axillary or underarm reading is usually is 1.0°F (0.5°C) lower 97.6°F (36.4°C) and a rectal temperature is usually 1.0°F higher (0.5°C) 99.6°F (37.5°C). Body temperature readings tend to be lowest in the morning hours from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. while your body is resting and is highest during late afternoon hours from 4 p.m. because your body has been active throughout the day.
How to know your Normal Body Temperature
T h e b e s t w a y t o f i n d o u t y o u r n o r m a l b o d y temperature is to measure yourself when you are feeling well. Record your readings twice a day (early morning and late afternoon). The average o f t h e t w o r e a d i n g s i s y o u r n o r m a l b o d y temperature. Any deviation from this may indicate an illness and you should consult a medical professional.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS &
USING DISPOSABLE PROBE COVERS
Prior to each use clean the thermometer with a soft cloth moistened with rubbing alcohol (70% isopropyl alcohol) diluted with warm water, OR wash with cold, soapy water. An intact unit can be submersed in 50% water and 50% alcohol; however do not soak for an extended period of time. Be sure to dry thermometer thoroughly using soft cloth.
To make temperature taking more hygienic and to h e l p p r e v e n t c r o s s - c o n t a m i n a t i o n i t i s recommended to use Samsung Disposable Probe Covers (model #
BATTERY
When the "188.8" symbol is continuously flashing, the battery needs to be replaced with
an SG3 silver oxide type.
To replace battery,
1.Slide battery cap away from unit.
2.Remove the battery using a small Phillips- head or jeweler's screwdriver and insert new battery with the positive (+) side facing up.
3.Carefully slide battery cap back into its place, making sure the cap is securely fit to protect battery from moisture.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1.Clean and properly disinfect the thermometer according to the instructions provided.
2.Place a new or clean and undamaged probe cover carefully over the thermometer tip.
3 . S e l e c t o r a l , a x i l l a r y o r r e c t a l a s y o u r measurement site.
4.Press On/Off button to activate thermometer. The digital display will show the following and the thermometer will beep.
This is the LCD display test, which insures all parts of the display are functioning properly . Continue to hold the button switch down over 2 seconds, the display will flash alternatively °C/°F icons. Release button on preferable mode of
This display shows the last temperature reading after °C/°F selection.
After the display of the last measured reading, the unit will perform a self - calibration (standard temperature) and display 97.7°F for about one second.
The "Lo" with the flashing °C (°F) indicates t h e t h e r m o m e t e r i s r e a d y t o t a k e a t e m p e r a t u r e r e a g i n g ( I f " E R R " i s d i s p l a y e d , a m a l f u n c t i o n h a s b e e n detected and thermometer will need to be replaced.)

TAKING AN ORAL TEMPERATURE
Approximate reading time: 30 seconds
NOTE : Relax and wait approximately 5 minutes with your mouth closed before taking a reading if you've just consumed any hot or cold beverages, exercised or smoked. This will reduce chances of possible high or low temperature readings.
1. Place a new or clean and undamaged probe cover carefully over the thermometer tip.
2 . Place the probe tip under the tongue as near as possible to the heat pocket. The diagram below also shows the temperature variables by not placing the tip in the heat pocket areas. Hold the thermometer still in the same spot and mouth should remain closed for most accurate reading.
3.The current temperature is shown and the °F (°C) will continue to flash during the reading.
4.When peak temperature is reached, the °F (°C) will stop a flashing and four quick beeps will sound.
5.To turn the unit off, press the On/Off button, otherwise the unit will automatically

TAKING AN AXILLARY TEMPERATURE (UNDERARM)
Approximate reading time: 50 seconds
NOTE : Axillary temperatures are generally 1.0°F (0.5°C) lower than oral readings.
1.Wipe underarm area with a dry towel.
2.Place a new or clean and undamaged probe cover carefully over the thermometer tip.
3.Place the probe tip under the arm so that the tip is t o u c h i n g t h e s k i n w i t h t h e t h e r m o m e t e r perpendicular (vertical) to the body.
4.Position arm across the chest so the probe tip is well covered by the arm. This insures the ambient temperature does not affect the probe.
5.When peak temperature is reached, the °F (°C) will stop flashing and four quick beeps will sound.
6 . To turn the unit off, press the On/Off button, otherwise the unit will automatically shut - off approximately after 10 minutes to preserve battery life.

TAKING A RECTAL TEMPERATURE
Approximate reading time: 30 seconds
NOTE : Rectal temperatures are the most accurate method for infants and small children. Otherwise this method should only be used when it is difficult to take an oral or axillary measurement. Rectal temperatures are generally 1.0°F (0.5°C) higher than oral readings. For hygienic reasons, once thermometer is used rectally, do not use orally.
1.Place a new or clean and undamaged probe cover carefully over the thermometer tip.
2.Have your child lie stomach down on your lap.
3.Apply a
4.Hold your child still and gently insert the probe a maximum of 1 inch into the rectum. If child is less than 6 months old , gently insert a maximum of 1/4 to 1/2 inch into the rectum.
5.When peak temperature is reached, the °F (°C) will stop flashing and four quick beeps will sound.
6.To turn the unit off, press the On/Off button, otherwise the unit will automatically
