2.
Connect the appropriate removable probe well to the thermometer. Note that
the cut-out in the probe well fits over the probe cord strain relief. Ensure that
the removable probe well "snaps" into position and is completely seated to
the thermometer. Place the probe into the well.
3.
Insert the box of Welch Allyn disposable probe covers into the probe cover
storage holder. To open the box of probe covers, remove and discard the tear-
away corner. You will see the ends of the probe covers in the box.
MOUNTING THE UNIT
Mount the wall-mount bracket in a location such as an interior wall or wall divider
so that the thermometer remains at ambient room temperature. Mounting the
unit on an uninsulated exterior wall, in an area directly hit by sunlight, above heat
radiators or powered equipment (including computers and lights), or below air
conditioning outlets is not recommended.
Proper mounting of the unit will prevent tangling of the probe cord with other
equipment at the patient's bedside.
