UNDERARM (AXILLARY) USE
1. It is suggested that the user sit quietly with their arm at their side for 5 minutes prior to measurement.
2. Wipe the underarm with a dry towel.
3. Cover the thermometer probe with a probe cover.
4. Place the probe tip under the arm so the tip
is touching the skin (FIGURE 2).
5. Lower the arm so that it is positioned next to the body (FIGURE 3).
6. When the peak temperature is reached the thermometer will alert with
10 long beeps. The temperature measurement is ready to read and will
not change when removed from under the arm.
NOTE: Under the arm temperatures are generally 0.5°C (1°F) lower
than a temperature taken orally.
7. If the temperature is greater than or equal to 37.8°C (100°F), the fever alarm will alert with a total of 30 short beeps.
8. Turn the thermometer off by pressing the ON/OFF button. If you forget to turn the thermometer off, it will
automatically shut-off after approximately 10 minutes of non-operation.
9. Dispose of the used probe cover and clean the thermometer as recommended.
RECTAL USE
1. Cover the thermometer probe with a probe cover and lubricate with a water-soluble personal lubricant for easier insertion.
Do not use a petroleum jelly. Read the label of the lubricant you are using to ensure that it is the appropriate kind.
2. Lay the patient on their side. When using on an infant, carefully lay the baby on its stomach with legs hanging
down, either at the edge of a bed or changing table or across your knees. This will position the infant's rectum for
safe and easy insertion.
3. Gently insert the tip of the probe NO MORE THAN 12mm (
1
/
2
inch) into the rectum. Stop immediately if you detect
resistance. Hold the thermometer in place during measurement.
4. When the peak temperature is reached, the thermometer will alert with 10 long beeps. The temperature
measurement is ready to read and will not change when removed from the rectum.
NOTE: Rectal temperatures are generally 0.5°C (1°F) higher than a temperature taken orally.
5. If the temperature is greater than or equal to 37.8°C (100°F), the fever alarm will alert with a total of 30 short beeps.
6. Turn the thermometer off by pressing the ON/OFF button. If you forget to turn the thermometer off, it will
automatically shut-off after approximately 10 minutes of non-operation.
7. Dispose of the used probe cover and clean the thermometer as recommended.
TO RECALL THE LAST TEMPERATURE
When the thermometer is activated, the last temperature reading will automatically be displayed on the LCD display
with the letter “M” for approximately 1 second.
TO CHANGE BETWEEN CELSIUS AND FAHRENHEIT TEMPERATURE READINGS
To change between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature readings:
Turn the thermometer off and then back on. Continue to press and hold the ON/OFF button for approximately
2 seconds. You will see the symbols for °C and °F change.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Clean the thermometer by wiping with a cloth moistened with rubbing alcohol (70% isopropyl alcohol).
2. Wipe again with a clean, water-dampened cloth and let dry.
3. DO NOT IMMERSE THE UNIT IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS. DO NOT BOIL OR CLEAN IN DISHWASHER. DO

CHANGING THE BATTERIES
The battery in your digital thermometer needs to be replaced when the low-battery indicator symbol ( ) appears
in the lower right corner of your display. Replace the battery with a 1.55V, LR41 alkaline or SR41 silver oxide type or
equivalent battery. To replace the battery:
1. Gently insert a coin or screwdriver into the slot on the battery cover door and turn to open.
2. Carefully remove the battery with a non-metallic pointed instrument.
3. Do not dispose of used batteries in trash. Properly discard the battery and keep away from young children, pets, and heat.
4. Replace the battery with a 1.55 V, LR41 alkaline or SR41 silver oxide type or equivalent, making sure to insert the
battery with the positive (“+”) side facing up.
5. Replace the battery cover. Your thermometer is now ready for use.
SPECIAL NOTE
If used privately no calibration is needed. For professional use it is recommended to check once a year.
