Ensure that
L
displays and
that °F (or °C)
is still flashing, then place probe
tip under the tongue in locations
indicated by . Instruct children
not to bite down on the probe.

How to Measure Temperature
Specifics for each Temperature Mode
Please read this section carefully and all the way through before using the thermometer.
Ensure that thermometer is at room temperature, waiting 15 minutes if necessary.
• Remove probe tip cap. Press and release ON/OFF button. All segments display for 1 second (Figure A) as the thermometer powers on.
• Thermometer beeps once, and the last temperature measured displays on screen (Figure B) for a few seconds.
• The current selected mode flashes and then °F (or °C) flashes. Confirm that the desired temperature mode is selected. (See “Select Mode” to change
temperature mode.)

WARNING
• This is NOT an ear thermometer. Take
temperature measurements Underarm, Orally
or Rectally.
• NEVER allow a child to play with this
thermometer. It is not a toy. This is a sensitive
electronic device and may be damaged if not
used properly under parental supervision.
• ALWAYS supervise your child when using
thermometer. NEVER allow your child to use
it alone or without close parental supervision.
•
Avoid sudden impact and dust.
•
Do not expose the thermometer to extreme
temperatures, humidity, direct sunlight or
shock.
•
Replace only with CR2032 or equivalent
lithium battery. Use of other types of batteries
may present a risk of fire or rupture.
BATTERY CAUTION
• Keep batteries out of child’s reach. Swallowing a
battery could be fatal.
• Used batteries should be disposed of properly.
• Battery should not be charged or placed into
extreme heat as it may explode.
• Remove batteries when stored for long periods
of non-use.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• Read these instructions carefully to ensure accurate
temperature readings. Temperature readings are
affected by many factors including exercise, drinking
hot or cold beverages prior to taking a reading as well
as technique.
• Rectal temperatures vary by approximately
0.9°F/0.5°C.
• DO NOT allow child to walk or run during temperature
taking. Probe could present a hazard.
• When °F (or °C) stops flashing, the measuring is complete. Approximate measurement times are: 5 seconds for oral and rectal temps, 8 seconds for underarm temp and 8-15 seconds for
bath water temp.
• Remove probe tip from body location or bath water and check temperature.
• Thermometer beeps and the display glows with red backlight to indicate that fever has been detected or that bath water is too hot. (See Fever Light™ section for details.)
• Thermometer will shut off automatically after one minute, or press button to shut off.
Fahrenheit / Celsius
• Power on the thermometer.
• During the first 5 seconds, press and hold the ON/OFF button
until °F or °C flashes.
• Quickly press ON/OFF button to switch between °F and °C
modes.
• When the desired unit of measure (°F or °C) displays on screen,
wait for auto shut-off to select it.
Temperature readings are different from person to person and also vary
depending upon the body location from which the temperature is measured.
For example: Oral temperatures tend to be comparable to ear temperatures and
approximately 1° lower than rectal temperatures for the same individual. Temperature
readings can also be affected by other factors, including exercise, consuming
hot or cold food/beverages prior to taking a reading, and technique.
“Normal” temperature refers to each individual’s average temperature while
healthy. You may want to measure and record your child’s temperature a few
times when he or she is well, so that you will know what is normal for your
own child. On average, temperature ranges are as follows:
Fever Light
TM
The backlight illuminates red and thermometer beeps when:
• body temperature is in the fever range
(varies by measurement site, see chart above)
• bath water temperature is too hot (exceeding 100.0˚F)
High or prolonged fever requires medical attention, especially for
young children. Contact your physician. A fever chart is included on
the product.
