FEATURES
•
Normal Mode: The thermometer takes oral temperatures in about 4
seconds and rectal temperatures in about 15 seconds. Axillary tempera-
tures taken using the Normal operating mode will display temperatures in
about 10 seconds for patients under 4 years. The unit will always operate
in Normal mode unless the Mode button is depressed for more than 2
seconds after the initial temperature is displayed, which changes it to
Monitor Mode. Replacing the probe in the storage channel automatically
resets the unit to Normal mode.
