Slim Digital Thermometer
Item 15-930-000 & 15-930-004
Thank you for purchasing a HealthSmart Digital Thermometer. Please read the following
instructions to achieve the most accurate temperatures and safe operation. With proper
care and use, your thermometer will provide you with reliable readings. It is enhanced
with a beeper, memory and fever alarm. The following instructions will cover your
thermometer's features in further detail.
What is a "Normal" Temperature?
Although the generally accepted "normal" temperature reading is 98.6 ° F(37°),
temperature readings can vary from 97.0 ° 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 and drinking. Even time of day may influence your temperature.
For example, your temperature is lower in the morning than in the afternoon. Other
variations may be due to the location of the temperature reading. While the oral
temperature follows the guidelines previously described, a rectal temperature is
generally 1.0 ° F higher. Conversely, an axillary (under the arm) temperature will be 1.0 ° F
lower.

Cleaning Instructions
Before and after each use, clean the thermometer with a soft cloth and 70% isopropyl
alcohol diluted with water, or wash with COLD soapy water. Wipe again with a clean,
water-dampened cloth and let dry.
1. The unit must never be sterilized by boiling, gas or steam autoclaves.
2. The use of any other solution or cleaning method beyond the above mentioned may
result in reliability problems with the thermometer and void your warranty.
How to Take Your Temperature
NOTE: Measurement time may vary based on the selected site.
1. Clean and disinfect the thermometer according to the instructions provided.
2. Apply a disposable probe cover to the clean, dry thermometer.
3. Determine whether the measurement site will be oral, rectal or underarm.
Switching Dual Scale
NOTE: To change between Celsius and Fahrenheit readings, hold the POWER button
down for 2 seconds until the "Lo" with an "M" displays and changes between °F and °C.
Press the POWER button again to turn the thermometer off.
Once the desired temperature scale is selected, press the POWER button
(the unit will beep) to activate the thermometer. This is the LCD display test,
which ensures all parts of the display are functioning properly.
The thermometer will display the last reading taken, followed by a self-test
temperature 98.6°F(37.0°C) for about 1 second. The display will show "Lo"
with a flashing °F(°C) indicating the thermometer is ready for measurement.
NOTE: If the temperature is less than 89.6°F(32.00°C), the LCD displays
"Lo" °F(°C). If the temperature is greater than 110°F(43.00°), the LCD
displays "Hi" F°(C°).
Taking an Oral Temperature
Approximate measurement time: 20-30 seconds
1. Using the diagram on the right, place the probe tip under the tongue as near as
possible to the heat pocket. The diagram also shows the temperature variables by not
placing the tip in the heat pocket area.
NOTE: Drinking hot or cold fluids, exercising,
HEAT
smoking or performing other activities may POCKET
raise or lower your temperature. Therefore, it is
important to relax for approximately 5 minutes
with your mouth closed prior to taking a
reading.
2. The current temperature is shown and the
°F(°C) will continue to flash during the
reading.
3. When the peak temperature has been
reached, the °F(°C) will stop flashing. The
thermometer will sound ten long beeps if
the temperature is below 100°F(37.8°C). If
the temperature is above 100°F(37.8°C) the unit will sound 30 short beeps.
4. To turn the unit off, press the ON/OFF button. The unit will automatically shut off after
approximately ten minutes.
NOTE: The mouth must remain closed during the measurement for the most
accurate reading. Opening the mouth could result in an extended measurement time and may
affect the reading.
Taking an Axillary Temperature (under the arm)
Approximate measurement time: 30-40 seconds
1. Wipe the underarm with a dry towel.
2. Place the probe tip under the arm so the tip is touching the skin with the
thermometer perpendicular to the body.
3. Position the arm across the chest so the probe tip is well covered by the arm. This also
ensures the probe is not affected by the room's air.
4. When the peak temperature has been reached, the °F(°C) will stop flashing. The
thermometer will sound ten long beeps if the temperature is below 100°F(37.8°C). If
the temperature is above 100°F(37.8°C) the unit will sound thirty short beeps.
5. To turn the unit off, press the ON/OFF button. The unit will automatically shut off after
approximately ten minutes.
NOTE: Axillary temperatures are generally 1.0°F(0.5°C) lower than oral readings.
Taking a Rectal Temperature
Approximate measurement time: 20 seconds
NOTE: Rectal temperatures are an appropriate and reliable method for infants and small
children. Otherwise, this method should only be used when it is impossible or impractical to
take an oral or axillary temperature.
1. After applying the disposable probe cover, apply a water-soluble lubricant to
the tip; do not use petroleum jelly.
2. Gently insert the probe a MAXIMUM of 1/2" into the rectum.
3. When the peak temperature has been reached, the °F(°C) will stop flashing. The
BATTERY COVER thermometer will sound ten long beeps if the temperature is below 100°F(37.8°C). If
the temperature is above 100°F(37.8°C) the unit will sound thirty short beeps.
4. To turn the unit off, press the ON/OFF button. The unit will automatically power down
after approximately ten minutes.
NOTE: Rectal temperatures are generally 1.0°F(0.5°C) higher than oral readings.
Using Disposable Probe Covers
It is recommended to use disposable probe covers to prevent cross contamination. Probe

covers can be purchased from your retailer or with the order form provided.
General Care
1. The thermometer should only be used under the supervision of an adult.
2. Do not walk, run or talk during temperature taking.
3. Clean the thermometer before and after each use.
4. Store the unit in the protective case when not in use.
5. Do not bite the probe.
6. Do not store the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, dust or humidity.
Avoid extreme temperatures.
7. Dropping or subjecting your thermometer to strong shocks should be avoided.
8. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit, except to replace the battery.
9. If ERR displays and measurement is not attainable, the unit must be replaced.
NOTE: Performance of the device may be degraded if: operated outside of stated
temperature and humidity range; stored outside of stated temperature and humidity
range; thermometer undergoes mechanical shock (drop); patient temperature is
below ambient temperature.
Changing the Battery
The battery in your digital thermometer needs to be replaced
when the " " symbol appears in the lower right corner of the
display. Replace the battery with a 1.55V, LR1120 alkaline or
equivalent.
To replace the battery,
1. Remove the battery cover from the top of the thermometer.
2. Use a pointed tool to remove the battery.
3. Insert the new battery with positive (+) side facing up.
4. Slide the battery cover back in to place.
NOTE: Please properly dispose of the battery away from small children and heat.
