Battery Installation, For Oral Measurement

You will hear a second beep when the self- test is completed. After the first use, the prior reading and a figure indicating the last measurement method will automatically appear after the second beep. Each time you turn the thermometer on it will automatically default to the same method as the prior reading.

4.The thermometer is ready to use when the Fahrenheit/Centigrade (F/C) symbol is flashing.

5.Turn off the thermometer after use by pressing the ON/OFF button. If you forget to turn it off it will automatically shut off after 1 minute.

6.IMPORTANT: If the thermometer senses an ambient temperature of 86˚F/30˚C the word ON will appear on the screen immediately after displaying the last reading. This will occur if the temperature of the room where you store it is over 86˚F/30˚C or if you want to take a second reading immediately. If ON appears, simply press the ON/OFF button again and take your temperature reading. In this case the F/C symbol will not be flashing.

7.Clean the tip with alcohol before and after each use.

8.Replace the protective cover after each use and keep it on when storing the thermometer.

NOTE:

•Do not immerse the thermometer in water.

•Clean the tip with alcohol after each measurement.

•Wait 30 minutes after physical exercise, bathing, eating, or drinking before taking a temperature reading.

•Do not expose the thermometer to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, dust, or electricity.

For Oral Measurement

Keep your mouth closed for 5 minutes before taking the temperature. Place the tip under the tongue at the back of the mouth. For the most accurate read, place the tip as far back under the tongue as possible. Press the tongue down over

√ = correct areas

x = incorrect areas

the tip, and close your mouth. Hold the thermometer steady keeping the tip in the same position for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds you will hear a beep indicating the measurement is complete. NOTE: If the tip is not placed in the proper position the temperature reading can be as much as 1.2˚F/0.7˚C lower than one taken in the correct position.

For Rectal Measurement

Lubricate the tip of the thermometer with a water- soluble jelly for easier insertion. Gently slide the tip no more than 1/2 inch (12 mm) into the rectum.

Hold the thermometer in place for 5 seconds.

After 5 seconds you will hear a beep indicating

the measurement is complete. If you want to use

the thermometer in another mode after using it

rectally, be sure to clean it very thoroughly with

alcohol. NOTE: If you detect any resistance when inserting the thermometer, stop immediately.

For Axillary (Underarm) Measurement

Make sure the underarm is dry and there is no material between the side and the arm. Hold the arm close to the side for 5 minutes before taking a temperature reading. Point the thermometer upward and place the tip well in the underarm. Hold the thermometer with the tip slightly bent

and the arm firmly pressed against the side for about 20 seconds. You will hear a beep when the

temperature reading is complete.
