HOW TO TAKE A TEMPERATURE

Clean thermometer with soap and water prior to use.
2. Push the operating button located on the top of the thermometer. The thermometer
will beep and the display will read: as illustrated in Figure 1. This is a function
check indicating that the unit is working properly. Immediately after, “Last memory”
and the temperature will be displayed, then “LO°C" with the °C/°F flashing will
indicate that the thermometer is ready to use, as illustrated in Figure 2.
3. While taking a temperature, the °C/°F symbol flashes as long as the temperature
increases.
4. The thermometer will beep twice, indicating that the peak temperature has
been reached, right after the beep is heard the screen will light up green if the
temperature is below 37.6°C/99.7°F. If the temperature is 37.6°C/99.7°F and above,
rapid beeps will sound and the screen will light up red indicating a fever.
NOTE:
The LCD will display “LO°C” if the measurement taken is below 32.0°C/89.6°F. It will
display “HI°C” if the measurement is above 43.9°C/111.0°F.
5. To prolong the life of the battery, turn the thermometer off after each use by pressing the
operating button briefly, otherwise the unit will turn off automatically in approximately 3
minutes.
NOTE:
