Digital Thermometer
Measuring Sensor Tip
This clinical digital electronic thermometer is for the
intermittent measurement and monitoring of human
adult and pediatric body temperatures; orally, rectally
and under the arm.
This thermometer IS intended to be used:
• For self-measurement/monitoring of human body
temperature whereas the person being measured may
be the user/operator of the device.
• Adults and pediatric
• With an optional Probe Cover (probe cover not mandatory)
This thermometer IS NOT intended for use with:
• Neonatal
GENERAL WARNINGS
• Please contact your physician in case of prolonged
fever as this requires medical attention, especially for
young children.
• Do NOT allow children to play with this device; it is not
a toy.
• Do NOT leave children unsupervised while taking their
temperature.
• Do NOT allow children to run or walk while taking their
temperature as the device could present a hazard.
• Do NOT dispose of the device or battery in fire; the
battery may explode.
• Do NOT attempt to recharge the battery.
• Do NOT open the thermometer as the battery is not
replaceable.
• Do NOT use a metal tool to remove batteries; doing so
may short circuit the terminals.
• Do NOT use the device if you think it is damaged or if
anything appears unusual.
• Batteries and electronic instruments must be disposed
of in accordance with the locally applicable regulations,
and not as domestic waste.
• Keep battery away from children. Harmful if swallowed.
• It is recommended that this digital thermometer be
checked for calibration every 2 years.
• This device contains sensitive electronics components.
Avoid strong electrical or electromagnetic fields in the
direct vicinity of the device (e.g., mobile telephones,
microwave ovens). These can lead to temporary im-
pairment of the measuring accuracy. Move the device
to another location if interference is determined and
maintain a minimum distance of 11 ft from such devices
when using this unit.
• Performance of this device may be degraded if:
• Used or stored outside the relevant specified
temperature and humidity range
• The device is exposed to mechanical shock
• The patient's temperature is lower than that of the ambient
• Do not store the unit under direct sunlight, at a high
temperature , or in high humidity or dust.
Turning on the Thermometer
To turn on the thermometer, press the ON/OFF button
1. Display should read "188.8" to confirm normal function.
2. Next, a measuring screen showing a «L» and a flashing
«°F» is displayed (at an ambient temperature of less
than 90°F ).
3 The thermometer is ready for use when the measuring
screen is displayed.
Function Test
The thermometer performs a self-test automatically each
time it is turned on. If a malfunction is detected, «ERR» will
appear on the display, and the thermometer will no longer
work. If this occurs, the thermometer must be replaced.
Using the Thermometer
Important: This
thermometer can be
used with or without a
probe cover. If a probe
cover is used, place it
over the measuring tip as
shown in the diagram.
If a Probe Cover is not used, cleaning should be done per
the instructions.
While a measurement is in progress, the current temper-
ature is displayed and the temperature symbol will blink
(symbol =°F). When the temperature symbol stops blink-
ing, the reading is complete (blinking stops when the
increase in temperature is less than 0.1 °F in 6 seconds).
To prolong the battery life, turn off the thermometer by
briefly pressing the ON/OFF button once the reading is
complete. Otherwise the thermometer will automatically
turn off after approximately 8 minutes.
Measuring Methods
ORAL USE: (for ages four and up)
• Do not drink hot or cold fluids,
exercise, smoke, 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 taking a reading.
• Press the power button and when the measuring
screen is displayed (L°F), place the probe tip under the
tongue in the position shown by the check marks (see
diagram). Instruct children not to bite down on the probe.
• The peak temperature should be reached in approxi-
mately 60 seconds. Opening the mouth or improper
placement of the probe tip could result in a longer time
for a reading.

UNDERARM (AXILLARY) USE:
• 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 in the same direction as your body if possible.
• To receive more reliable
results we recommend to
measure temperature orally
or rectally. Approximate du-
ration for an axillary meas-
urement is 5 to 10 minutes.
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 water-soluble solution such as
lubricating jelly.
• Gently insert the probe tip no more than 1/2 inch or 1-2
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
60 seconds.
Cleaning
Clean thermometer before and after every use:
1. Clean sensor tip with 70% isopropyl alcohol. Wipe dry
with sterile cotton ball.
Battery Exhaustion
When the "▼" symbol (upside-down triangle) appears
on the right side of the display, the battery is exhausted
and the thermometer needs to be replaced.
