Using Your Thermometer
Before You Begin:
What to know before you get started:
IMPORTANT:
Follow these guidelines:
•
Brush hair away from the temple area.
•
Press the Mode button to select forehead or underarm mode.
Thermometer will start in last mode used.
•
Use this thermometer on a clean, dry forehead or underarm. Wipe
away any perspiration prior to use.
•
Do not try to take a measurement until the two beeps are heard.
•
Make sure that the thermometer and the patient do not move while
measurement is in progress.
•
Correct placement on the temple and good contact with the body
ensure reliable measurements.
•
As soon as the thermometer is in place, the measurement starts
automatically. A running circle will appear indicating that
measurement is progressing successfully.
•
Wait at least 2 minutes before taking another measurement.
•
Once the thermometer is “ready to measure”, it will shut off
automatically after 1 minute if it has not maintained good contact
with the patient’s skin.
•
Clean the thermometer after each use (see “Care and Cleaning”
section).
