How to Use the Thermometer
1 When Using Thermometer for the 1
st
Time:
• Open the battery compartment by carefully lifting up Battery Cover
where indicated (refer to ‘Battery Power and Replacement’) so as
not to scratch or damage cover.
• Insert 2 x AAA batteries
in the direction illustrated
inside the
battery compartment.
• Replace the Battery Cover.
• Turn on and use thermometer as described below.
Note: If the batteries have been inserted the wrong way, the thermometer will
not work and the handle might warm up, in which case immediately remove the
batteries (to prevent damaging the thermometer) and re-insert.
2 Switching Thermometer ON:
• The thermometer can be switched ON in either mode – Forehead or
Ambient.
• Start by briefly pressing ‘Power On /Scan button’ which turns on the
thermometer.
• All icons will display on the screen for 1 second followed by a short
beep indicating that the thermometer is now ready to use.
• The screen is also backlit for 10 seconds and the display will now
show the last setting memory data i.e. last temperature reading
and mode. This will remain until either a temperature is taken, the
thermometer turns off or the temperature mode is changed.
3 Switching Thermometer OFF:
• Without any operation for 30 seconds i.e. left idle, the thermometer
will automatically turn OFF. This is a power-save feature.
Temperature Range Indicator
The Temperature Range Indicator is an additional indication of the
patient’s temperature. Whilst the Display Screen advises the specific
temperature, the Temperature Range Indicator provides a quick visual
reference of the temperature range by utilising a traffic-light system of
green, orange or red.
If the Temperature Range Indicator (Fig. 1) displays:
• Green = the measurement is within the average
normal temperature range (of ≥36.3ºC to ≤37.3ºC)
• Orange = the measurement is within the average
raised temperature range (of ≥37.4ºC to ≤37.9ºC)
• Red = the measurement is in the average high
temperature range (of ≥38.0ºC)
Note: Since the above temperature ranges are averages, refer to page 5 for
normal temperature ranges by age.
