General Care
1. The thermometer should only be used under the supervision of an adult.
2. Do not walk, run or talk during temperature taking.
3. Clean the thermometer before and after each use.
4. Store the unit in the protective case when not in use.
5. Do not bite the probe.
6. Do not store the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, dust or humidity.
Avoid extreme temperatures.
7. Dropping or subjecting your thermometer to strong shocks should be avoided.
8. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit, except to replace the battery.
9. If ERR displays and measurement is not attainable, the unit must be replaced.
NOTE:
Performance of the device may be degraded if: operated outside of stated
temperature and humidity range; stored outside of stated temperature and humidity
range; thermometer undergoes mechanical shock (drop); patient temperature is
below ambient temperature.
Changing the Battery
The battery in your digital thermometer needs to be replaced when the “
t
” symbol
appears in the lower right of the display. Replace the battery with a 1.55V, LR41
alkaline or SR41 silver oxide type or equivalent.
To replace the battery,
1. Slide the battery cap away from the unit.
2. Using a non-metal pointed tool, carefully remove the
battery and insert the new battery with the positive
(+) side facing the display side of the unit.
3. Carefully slide the battery cap back into place, making sure that the cap fits
snugly to protect the battery compartment from moisture.
Note:
Please properly dispose the battery away from small children and heat.
Taking an Oral Temperature
Approximate measurement time:
60 seconds
1. Using the diagram on the right, place
the probe tip under the tongue as near
as possible to the heat pocket. The
diagram also shows the temperature
variables by not placing the tip in the
heat pocket area.
Note:
Drinking hot or cold fluids,
exercising, smoking or performing other
activities may raise or lower your
temperature. Therefore, it is important to
relax for approximately 5 minutes with your
mouth closed prior to taking a reading
2. The current temperature is shown and the
o
F will continue to flash during the
reading.
3. When the peak temperature has been reached, the
o
F will stop flashing and the
thermometer will sound ten quick beeps.
4. To turn the unit off, press the ON/OFF button. The unit will automatically shut off
after approximately ten minutes.
Note:
The mouth must remain closed during the measurement for the most accu-
rate reading. Opening the mouth could result in an extended measurement time
and may affect the reading.
Cleaning Instructions
Before and after each use, clean the area that extends about 2” from the tip of the
thermometer with a soft cloth and ispropyl alcohol diluted with water, or wash with
COLD soapy water.
NOTE:
1. The use of any other solution or cleaning method beyond the above mentioned
may result in reliability problems with the thermometer..
2. Do not let water or any solution penetrate the thermometer’s display window,
battery cover or back cover.
How to Take Your Temperature
1. Clean and disinfect the thermometer according the instructions provided.
2. Apply a disposable probe cover to the clean, dry thermometer.
3. Determine whether the measurement site will be oral, rectal or underarm.
Note:
Measurement time may vary based on the selected site.
4. Press the ON/OFF button (the unit will beep) to activate the thermometer.
This is the LCD display test, which insures all parts of the
display are functioning properly. Continue to hold the button
down and in approximately 3 seconds the display will show the
last recorded temperature as follows.
This display shows the last temperature reading. Within
approximately 3 seconds of releasing the button or if no
reading is stored in memory, the display will read as follows.
The L with the flashing
o
F indicates the thermometer is ready
to take a temperature reading.

Deluxe “Jumbo Display”
Digital Thermometer
with Beeper and Memory
Thank you for purchasing a MABIS Digital Thermometer. Please read the following
instructions to achieve the most accurate temperatures and safe operation. With
proper care and use, your thermometer will provide you with years of reliable
readings.
What is a “Normal” Temperature?
Although the generally accepted “normal” temperature reading is 98.6
o
F, tempera-
ture readings can vary from 97
o
F to 99
o
F and still may be considered “normal”.
Variations in temperature can be attributed to activities such as exercise, smoking,
eating and drinking. Even time of day may influence your temperature. For exam-
ple, your temperature is lower in the morning than in the afternoon. Other varia-
tions may be due to the location of the temperature reading. While the oral temper-
ature follows the guidelines previously described, a rectal temperature is generally
1.0
o
F higher. Conversely, an axillary (under the arm) temperature will be 1.0
o
F
lower.
Features of your MABIS Digital Thermometer
Taking an Axillary Temperature (under the arm)
Approximate measurement time: 5 minutes or longer
1. Wipe the underarm with a dry towel.
2. Place the probe tip under the arm so the tip is touching the skin with the ther-
mometer perpendicular to the body.
3. Position the arm across the chest so the probe tip is well covered by the arm.
This also insures the probe is not affected by the room’s air.
4. When the peak temperature has been reached, the
o
F will stop flashing and the
thermometer will sound ten quick beeps.
5. To turn the unit off, press the ON/OFF button. The unit will automatically shut off
after approximately ten minutes.
Note:
Axillary temperatures are generally 1.0
o
F lower than oral readings.
Taking a Rectal Temperature
Approximate measurement time: 60 seconds
Note:
Rectal temperatures are an appropriate and reliable method for infants and
small children. Otherwise, this method should only be used when it is impossible or
impractical to take an oral or axillary temperature.
1. After applying the disposable probe cover, apply a water-soluble lubricant to
the tip.
2. Gently insert the probe a MAXIMUM of 1/2” into the rectum.
3. When the peak temperature has been reached, the
o
F will stop flashing and the
thermometer will sound ten quick beeps.
4. To turn the unit off, press the ON/OFF button. The unit will automatically power
down after approximately ten minutes.
Note:
Rectal temperatures are generally 1.0
o
F higher than oral readings.
Using Disposable Probe Covers
It is recommended to use the enclosed disposable probe covers to prevent cross
contamination. Additional probe covers can be purchased from your MABIS Dealer
or with the order form provided.
