ESCALI BT201 DIGITAL BODY
THERMOMETER INSTRUCTIONS
What is a "normal" temperature?
Although the generally accepted "normal" body temperature is 98.6°F or 37°C,
readings can vary from 97.1°F (36.1°C) to 99.0°F (37.2°C) and still may be
considered "normal". Variations in temperature can be attributed to activities
such as exercise, smoking, eating, drinking and the location of the temperature
reading. Also, consider your temperature is often lower in the morning than in
the afternoon. While the oral temperature follows the guidelines previously
described, a rectal temperature is generally 1.0°F (0.5°C) higher. Conversely,
an axillary (under the arm) temperature will usually be 1.0°F (0.5°C) lower.

How to Take your Temperature
PROBE TIP
1. Press ON/OFF button to activate. The unit will beep and display
for about 2 seconds. (To switch between °F and °C, hold the ON/OFF button
for 3 seconds when powering on the thermometer.)
2. After the thermometer powers on, the last temperature taken will be
displayed with an "M" in the lower-right corner.
3. When "Lo" displays with °F (°C) flashing, the thermometer is ready for
temperature measuring, but if the room temperature is above 90°F
(32°C) then room temperature will be displayed instead of "Lo".
4. The beeping will sound when temperature measuring is complete.
5. Press ON/OFF button to power off the unit. (The unit will automatically
power off approximately eight minutes after completing the measurement.)
Taking an Oral Temperature Measurement
Place the probe tip under the tongue, breath through the nose and keep the
lips closed. Approximate measuring time is 1 minute.
