• Operation in strong electromagnetic fields, such as next to a mobile phone, can lead to malfunction. Keep a
minimum distance of 3.3 m from such devices when using this device.
• The minimum measurement time until the beep must be maintained without exception.
• Discuss the measured values with your doctor.
Caution!
Risk of injury:
• The instrument contains small parts that could be swallowed by children. Keep this instrument and the battery
out of reach of children. Use under parental supervision.

wise caught in the body, seek medical help immediately.

4. Use
• Disinfect the tip before each use!
• Press the ON/OFF button for switching on and off.
• When switching on a brief beep tone will sound and all LCD segments will light up for a short moment. The
instrument starts a self-test.
• The display shows for about 2 seconds the last measured temperature.
• Lo stays in the display and °C flashes. If the room temperature is higher than 32 ˚C, the room temperature would
be displayed instead of Lo ˚C. The unit is ready for use.
• The actually measured temperature is permanently shown on the display and the symbol °C flashes. The meas-
urement is completed when the temperature rises less than 0.1 °C within 16 seconds.
• If the maximum temperature remains stable, an alarm will sound 10 times and °C is no longer flashing.
a) Normal alarm (beep ... beep ... beep ...), body temperature below 37.8 °C
b) Fever alarm (beep beep beep ... beep beep beep ...), body temperature 37.8 °C or above
• For axillary measurements, the recommended measuring time has to be observed despite the beep tone.
• Remove the thermometer carefully. Press the ON/OFF button to switch off the instrument. The instrument will
turn off automatically after approx. 10 minutes.
4.1 Measurement methods
Rectal measurement:
• This is the safest method of measurement. It is especially good for babies and infants. Gently insert the ther-
mometer tip 1-2 cm into the anus. Minimum measuring time: 1 minute.
Oral measurement:
• Place the temperature tip in one of the two pockets under the tongue, left or right at the root of the tongue.
Close your mouth during the measurement and breathe calmly. This will prevent the measurement results from
being falsified by breathing air. The measured temperature is on average 0.3 to 0.8 degrees C lower than the
rectally measured temperature. Minimum measuring time: 1 min.
Axillary measurement (under the armpit):
• From the medical point of view this method always provides inaccurate values. A deviation from the rectal
measurement of 0.5 to 1.5 degrees C must be expected. Minimum measuring time: 5 min.
5. Care and maintenance
• Clean the instrument after each use with a soft damp cloth. For disinfection please use water-diluted isopropyl
alcohol according to the manufacturer's instructions. Any other cleansing substances or cleansing method can
cause dysfunction or damage to the instrument. Do not immerse in water or sterilize by boiling method, gas or
steam autoclaves.
• Remove the battery if you do not use the product for a long period of time.
• Keep the instrument in its case in a dry place.
5.1 Battery replacement
• Change the battery when the battery symbol
appears on the display.
• Remove the blue cover and slide out the battery compartment.
• Carefully remove the battery with a pointed object and insert a new LR 41 battery. Make sure the polarity is
correct (+ pole above).
• Slide back the battery compartment and replace the blue cover.
