USE
1.
Press the power switch button beside the display. An audio prompt is heard and the display
first shows
and thereafter the last registered temperature. After showing the self-
test temperature the fever thermometer is ready to use.
2.
Place the thermometer at the required measuring point – oral, rectal or auxiliary.
–
Oral measuring (oral cavity): Put the thermometer under the tongue, in one of positions
marked ”√” in figure 2. Close the mouth and breath evenly and calmly through the nose, so
that the air flow when breathing in and out does not affect the measurement. The oral
temperature of a healthy person is normally between 35.7 and 37.3°C (96.3 and 99.1°F).
FIG. 2
–
Rectal measuring (rectum): Apply vaseline to the tip of the probe to simplify insertion.
Carefully insert the probe about 1 cm into the rectum. The rectal temperature of a
healthy person is normally between 36.2 and 37.7°C (97.2 and 99.9°F).
–
Auxiliary measuring (armpit): Wipe the armpit dry. Put the probe in the armpit and hold
the arm firmly pressed against the side.
This method of measuring gives a result that is not medically reliable. One of the other
methods should be used for accurate and medically reliable results. The auxiliary
temperature of a healthy person is normally between 35.2 and 36.7°C (95.4 and 98.1°F).
3.
The degree symbol flashes during the measuring. The degree symbol stops flashing when the
measurement is complete and an intermittent audio prompt is given for about 10 seconds.
The measured temperature is shown on the display at the same time.
The measurement must not be interrupted before audio prompt indicates that the
measurement is done. The thermometer continues to measure the temperature even after
the audio prompt has indicated that the measurement is done. This can be used to improve
the accuracy and reliability of the measurement result: continue holding the probe at the
measuring point for at least 30 seconds, preferably longer – about two minutes for oral or
rectal measuring, about five minutes for auxiliary measuring.
