Introduction
The Philips baby thermometer set allows you to accurately and conveniently
measure your baby’s temperature. The baby thermometer set is designed
for your baby’s safety, comfort, well-being and, therefore, your own peace of
mind. It is part of a complete range of Philips Baby Care products. Please read
this guide carefully before using the thermometer kit, and keep it for future
reference.
The storage box contains three items:
A soother thermometer to reliably measure baby’s temperature. It is
very convenient to use both for you and your baby.
An ordinary soother to let your baby get used to the shape. You can use
this soother as a regular soother.
A digital flexible-tip thermometer that measures baby’s body
temperature rectally if you want added reassurance.
Make sure you follow the safety guidelines when using these items so that you
don’t expose your child to any risk.

the soother thermometer in accordance with these guidelines. This method

flexible-tip thermometer to take a measurement in the anus (rectal). Note
that oral measurements are usually 0.5 to 1 °C lower than the actual body
temperature.
