SAFETY INFORMATION:
•
High, prolonged fever requires medical attention especially for young children. Please contact your physician.
•
Do not allow children to take their temperatures unattended.
•
Read the enclosed 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.
•
Do not allow children to walk or run when taking a temperature.

HOW TO CARE FOR THIS PRODUCT:
•
Use of probe covers is recommended to help avoid spreading germs, and to keep the thermometer clean.
The thermometer should be cleaned after use even when probe covers are used.
•
Clean the thermometer tip and probe using isopropyl alcohol or soap and water.
•
Do not store or keep in direct sunlight or at high temperatures.
•
Do not drop the thermometer, as this may damage the unit.
WHAT IS A “NORMAL” TEMPERATURE?:
Temperature readings vary in different individuals. A normal temperature refers to each individual’s average
temperature while they are well. Normal average temperatures range form 97
°F/36.1°C to 100°F/37.7°C when
taken orally. From an oral temperature
, you may calculate a rectal equivalent temperature by adding 1°F/0.5°C
while an underarm temperature requires subtracting 1
°F/0.5°C. For example, if your oral temperature is 98.6°F/37°C
this is the same as a rectal temperature of 99.6
°F/37.5°C or an underarm temperature of 97.6°F/36.4°C.
HOW TO TAKE TEMPERATUR
E:
•
Place a probe cover carefully over the tip, (figure 1). Select oral, underarm or
rectal as your measurement site based on the individual.
•
Push the on/off button located on the large end of the thermometer. The
display will read: “188.8°
F
”. This is a function check indicating the unit is
working properly. The thermometer will read L
°F and begin measuring
temperature when exposed to body heat.
•
The
°F symbol will continuously flash until completion of the temperature taking process. Please note that “
”
indicates a low battery. See instructions for low battery indicator (on next page). Do not expect an accurate
temperature reading if this low battery indicator is present. An “ERR” message in the window indicates
your unit is not functioning properly.

ORAL USE: (for children 4 years and older)
•
Do not drink hot or cold fluids, exercise 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 attempting a reading.
•
Place the probe tip well under the tongue as indicated by the “
✔
”. (figure 2) Instruct
children not to bite down on the probe.
•
The peak temperature should be reached in approximately 60 seconds. Opening the
mouth or improper placement of the probe tip could result in a longer time for a reading.
•
When peak temperature is reached, the °F symbol will stop flashing.
Please note: When the °F stops
flashing and the display reads a consistent temperature, the peak temperature has been reached.
This thermometer does not have a beeper function.
•
Read and record the temperature and time for reference.
•
Push the on/off button to turn the unit off. This will prolong the battery life.
RECTAL USE:
•
Commonly used for 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 gel or petroleum jelly.
•
Gently insert the probe tip no more than 1/2 inch or 1.3 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 40 seconds.
UNDERARM (AXILLARY) USE:
•
Wipe underarm with a dry towel.
•
Place probe tip in armpit and bring arm down against the body (figure 3).
The probe should be pointing upward in the same direction as your body if possible.
•
The time required for an accurate underarm temperature may be 90 seconds or longer
depending on placement of the probe and closure of the arm against the body.
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR:
When the “
” appears to the right of the display, the battery is exhausted. Dispose of the thermometer as
the battery is non-replaceable
. Be aware of any local regulations concerning disposal of this product. The
battery cover is sonic-welded with the main housing of the thermometer. The battery is well sealed inside
the thermometer to reduce the risk of being swallowed by children.
