OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Set-up Procedure
1. Unpack the Model 600 Thermometer and probes, checking for any damage that may have
occurred during shipping.
2. Insert the plug of the probe to be used into the thermometer receptacle and then insert the probe
shaft into the probe storage channel of the thermometer. The thermometer will not turn on with the
probe disconnected.
3. Insert a box of 25 probe covers into the storage well of the thermometer.
4. Attach the 250 probe cover dispenser to the wall in a convenient location.
Preparation for temperature measurement:
1. Place the carrying strap around your neck with the instrument display facing you.
2. Check that sufficient probe covers remain for a round of temperature taking.
3. Select the desired Fahrenheit or Celsius display by setting the °F/ °C slide switch to the appropriate
position.
4. Select the mode of temperature measurement.
Normal Mode Operation
The normal mode of operation provides a rapid means of oral or rectal temperature taking under most
conditions.
Set the normal/monitor slide switch to the normal position. Withdraw the probe from the storage
channel and observe the 6 second display test ensuring that no display segments are missing. The unit
will then display 84.0 °F (28.9 °C) with the low temperature arrow ON until the probe rises above that
temperature.
Oral Temperature Measurement
Load a probe cover onto the probe by holding the probe collar with the thumb and forefinger being
careful not to hold or press the ejection button.
Insert the probe tip gently into patient’s slightly open mouth. Carefully slide probe under the tongue on
either side of the mouth to reach the sublingual artery.
Have the patient close lips around the probe.
Hold the probe during the entire temperature measurement process and keep the probe tip in contact
with tissue at all times.
During the temperature taking cycle, a continually increasing temperature should be observed on the
display. When the final temperature has been reached, a tone will sound and an “F” or “C” will be
displayed to the right of the numbers.
After temperature measurement is complete, eject the probe cover by firmly pressing the ejection
button on the probe. Insert into the probe channel to clear the display in preparation for another
temperature.
