6.
Patient’s mouth must be CLOSED.
7. Securely hold the probe in place until the temperature
is displayed.*
8. For Axillary temperatures, have the patient raise the
arm, then place the probe tip in the axilla. Press
gently to assure good contact. For the most accurate
temperature the probe tip should be placed directly
against the pa
tient’s skin.
9. Have the patient then lower the arm and remain as
still as possible.* Hold the probe parallel to the arm as
shown.
10. If two short beeps are heard, it means the unit
switched to Direct (slow) mode for this temperature
only.
11.
A “long beep” is sounded when measurement is
complete and the final temperature is displayed.
12. To change between Celsius and Fahrenheit scales, press the °C/°F button. Press
again as needed.
13. Eject the used cover into a bio-waste container by pushing top button.
14. After returning the probe to the probe well, the temperature is stored for recall until
the probe is once again withdrawn. If the probe is returned to the probe well before
the “long beep” is heard, no temperature will be stored for the recall function.
Rectal Temperature Taking
1. Make certain that the Red isolation chamber/probe unit is attached.
2. Withdraw the probe and apply a probe cover. Thermometer turns on automatically.
3. An icon identifying rectal mode is always displayed provided the Red isolation
chamber/probe assembly is attached. Pressing the Site button on the front panel to
change modes has no effect.
4. Apply lubrication if desired.
5.
Insert the probe into the patient’s rectum. To ensure proper tissue contact, angle the
probe slightly after insertion.

6. Depth of inser
tion is recommended at 1/2” to 3/4” (12 mm - 19 mm) for adults and 1/4”
to 1/2” (6 mm - 13 mm) for children.
7. If two short beeps are heard, it means the unit switched to Direct (slow) mode for this
temperature only.
8.
A “long beep” is sounded when measurement is complete and the final temperature is
displayed.
9. To change between Celsius and Fahrenheit scales, press the °C/°F button. Press
again as needed.
10. Eject the used cover into a bio-waste container by pushing top button.
11. After returning the probe to the probe well, the temperature is stored for recall until
the probe is once again withdrawn. If the probe is returned to the probe well before
the “long beep” is heard, no temperature will be stored for the recall function.
[NOTE]
Accurate body temperature readings can only be obtained in
one of these two “heat
pocket” locations as shown. Temperatures taken in other mouth locations will result in
inaccurate body temperature readings
[NOTE]:
Probe moveme
nt during a measurement can affect the thermometer’s
ability to measure the site temperature and may lengthen the time required to obtain
a reading.
