SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
MEASURING THE TEMPERATURE
MEASUREMENT TYPES
In the rectum (rectal measurement)
In the mouth (oral/sublingual measurement)
Under the arm (axillary measurement)
Display
On/off button
Battery compartment cover
Carefully insert the tip 1-2 cm into the anus. Minimum measurement time: 30 seconds
Do not consume hot or cold food or drinks for at least 10 minutes before measuring body temperature. Insert
the tip into one of the two heat pockets under the tongue, on the left- or right-hand side of the root of the
tongue. Close the mouth and breathe calmly through the nose. Minimum measurement time: 30 seconds
The skin must be completely dry. Place the tip under the arm, so that it is fully in contact with the skin. The
thermometer should be at right angles to the body. Place the arm across the chest, so that the tip is tightly
covered. Minimum measurement time: 3 minutes.
To turn on the thermometer, press the on/off button. A short beep indicates that the thermometer is on. At
the same time, an optical full segment check of the display will be carried out. Then the last temperature
measured will be displayed for approx. 2 seconds, along with a small M (for memory). Then an internal test
value of 37.0 °C appears and the thermometer switches to measuring mode. Now you can take a new
measurement.
For temperatures up to 37.5 °C, the normal sound will be made (10 long, equal beeps). For temperatures
over 37.5 °C, the fever alarm will sound (30 short beeps in groups of 3).
Read the temperature from the display. The thermometer will switch itself off automatically after approx. 10
minutes. You can also turn it off earlier by pressing the on/off button. The temperature will be saved until
the next one is measured.
Place the thermometer at the desired measurement point. During measurement the current temperature is
shown on the display with a flashing „°C“ symbol. If the increase in temperature over a period of 16 sec-
onds is less than 0.1 °C, the thermometer will beep. If the temperature is being measured orally or rectally,
this beep means that the approximate final temperature is now being displayed; the temperature will only
change marginally from this point on. If the temperature is being measured under the arm, it is important to
stick to the intended minimum measurement, irrespective of whether the device beeps.
• Do not drop the thermometer. It is not resistant to shock or impact.
• The thermometer is not completely waterproof and therefore may only be immersed into water or desin-
fectant up to the nameplate on the back.
• This thermometer is only intended to be used to measure human body temperature.
• The thermometer contains small parts (battery etc.) which children could swallow. Do not let children use
the device unsupervised.
• Protect the device from high temperatures and direct sunlight.
• Clean the thermometer before and after each use.
• Do not open the casing (except to change the battery).
• Before use, check that the tip and the display are not damaged.
• Do not walk, run or speak while using the thermometer.
• Store the thermometer with put-on protection cap when not in use.
• Using the thermometer other than as intended can lead to inaccurate measurements.
CLASSIFICATION OF THE TEMPERATURES MEASURED
On average, body temperature measured orally is 36.7 °C ± 0,5 °C. You can use the guidelines below to
classify the level of fever:
Temperatures measured rectally are generally 0.5 °C higher than those measured orally, while temperatures
measured under the arm are 0.5 °C lower.
Warning: Always consult a doctor if the reading shows a high fever.
37.5 °C to 37.9 °C: elevated temperature
38.0 °C to 38.9 °C: moderate fever
39.0 °C and above: high fever
CHANGING THE BATTERY
When the display shows the symbol, the battery needs to be changed.
• Remove the screw on the back of the thermometer. Remove the battery compartment cover from the
thermometer.
• Do not use a metal object to push the battery out of its holder.
• Carefully pull the battery holder about 1 cm out of the casing.
• Insert a new battery (LR41 or SR41, 1.55V) with the + sign towards the top.
• Push the battery holder back into the casing. Replace the battery compartment cover and secure it with
the screw.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
CLEANING
Basically, a metrological inspection is recommended at intervals of 2 years. However, professional users
in Germany have to comply with the aforementioned according to „Regulation for Operators of Medical
Devices“. This can be implemented either by UEBE Medical GmbH, an authority responsible for metrology, or
authorised maintenance services. For this, please observe your national provisions.
