Baby’s 1st Digital Thermometer
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
q
High, prolonged fever requires
medical attention especially for
young children. Please contact
your physician.
q
Do not allow children to take their
temperatures unattended.
q
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.
q
Do not allow children to walk or run during temperature taking. The probe could present a hazard.
q
Oral, underarm, and rectal temperatures vary by approximately 0.9°F/0.5°C.
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 from 97°F/36.1°C to
100°F/37.7°C when taken orally. See “RECTAL USE” and “UNDERARM (AXILLARY) USE” for the oral
equivalent of a rectal or underarm reading.
HOW TO TAKE TEMPERATURE:
1.
Select oral, underarm or rectal as your measurement site based on the individual requiring a
temperature measurement.
2.
Push the on-off button located beside the display window. The display will read: 188.8°F
M
This is
a function check indicating the unit is working properly.
If you choose to recall the last measured temperature, hold the on-off button down for two
seconds, and the last temperature will be displayed on the screen for two seconds. The
thermometer will read -- - °F (or -- - °C) and begin measuring temperature when exposed
to body heat.
3.
The °F (or °C) symbol will continuously flash until completion of the temperature taking process.
Please note that the “ ” indicates a low battery. An “ERR” message in the window indicates
your unit is not functioning properly. Do not expect an accurate temperature reading if this low
battery indicator is present. Out-of-range indicator displays “L” when measurement is lower than
90.0°F (32.2°C) and “H” when higher than 109.9°F (43.3°C).
4.
When peak temperature is reached, the °F (or °C) symbol will stop flashing.
5.
Read and record the temperature and time for reference. The reading will automatically be
stored in the memory.
6.
Push the on-off button to turn the unit off. If you do not turn the unit off, it will shut off
automatically in approximately 10 minutes.
RECTAL USE:
q
Commonly used for babies, young children or when it is difficult to take an oral or underarm
temperature.
q
Lubricate probe tip with a water-soluble lubricant or petroleum jelly.
q
Gently insert the probe tip no more than 1/2 inch (1.3) cm into the rectum. Do not force the
tip into the rectum if resistance is encountered. Please note the ring at the end of the probe
helps ensure you don’t insert too far. Reference over insertion gauge above.
q
Clean the thermometer as recommended above.
q
The peak temperature should be reached in approximately 40 seconds.
q
Read the digital display and subtract 0.9°F/0.5°C to obtain an oral equivalent temperature.
UNDERARM (AXILLARY) USE:
q
Wipe underarm with a dry towel.
q
Place probe tip in armpit and bring arm down against the body. The thermometer should
be pointing upward in the same direction as your body if possible.
q
The time required for an accurate underarm temperature may be 60
seconds or longer depending on placement of the probe and closure of
the arm against the body.
q
Read the digital display and add .9°F/.5°C to obtain an oral equivalent
temperature.
ORAL USE: (For children 4 years and older)
q
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.
q
Place the probe tip well under the tongue, (See diagram) as indicated by
the “ .” Instruct children not to bite down on the probe.
q
The peak temperature should be reached in approximately 60 seconds.
Opening the mouth could result in a longer time for a reading.
BATTERY INFORMATION:
When the “ ” appears in the lower right of the display, the battery is
exhausted. Be aware of any local regulations concerning disposal of batteries. Remove the
battery cover by screw driver. Remove the old battery. Place a Micro Alkaline 192.LR41 V battery
inside with the negative facing side up.

Measurement Range:
90.0°F to 109.9°F/32°C to 43.9°C.
Measurement Accuracy:
0.2°F/0.1°C between 96.0°F to 107.0°F/35.5°C to 42°C.
