IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• The thermometer is only suitable for the measurement of body temperature.
• The minimum measurement time should be adhered to.  This is indicated by a short beep.
• The thermometer contains small parts (eg. battery) that can be swallowed by children. Never leave the thermometer unattended with children.
• Protect the thermometer from hitting and striking.
• Avoid storing thermometer above 60˚C. NEVER boil the thermometer.
• The thermometer must be intact when immersed in water or liquid disinfectant.
• Warning: The thermometer contains a long-life battery. For disposal, please comply with local regulations for special waste.
• The manufacturer recommends that the accuracy is verified by an authorised laboratory every 2 years.

TURNING ON THE THERMOMETER

To turn on the thermometer, push the ON/OFF button; a short beeping sound signals «Thermometer ON». At a room temperature of less than 32˚C, an «L» and a flashing «˚C» appear at the upper right of the display. The thermometer is now ready to use.

FUNCTION TEST

Proper functioning of the thermometer is tested automatically each time it is turned on. If a malfunction is detected (measurement inaccuracy), this is indicated by «ERR» on the display, and a measurement becomes impossible. In this case, the thermometer must be replaced.

USING THE THERMOMETER

Choose the prefered measuring method (see below). While the temperature is being taken the «ºC» symbol flashes continuously. When the thermometer beeps (beep-beep-beep-beep 10 times) and the «ºC» stops flashing, it means that the measured increase in temperature is less than 0.1˚C in 8 seconds and that the highest temperature has been reached. Remove the thermometer and take the reading.  To prolong the life of the battery, turn it off after use by pressing the ON/OFF button briefly. Otherwise the thermometer will automatically turn off after about 10 minutes.

MEMORY

If you hold the button down for more than 3 seconds when turning the thermometer on, the last maximum temperature recorded will be displayed. At the same time, a small «M» for memory will appear at the right of the display. After 3 more seconds, this value will disappear and the thermometer will switch to the normal measurement mode. The stored value will then be erased.

MEASURING METHODS

In the mouth (oral): Position the thermometer in one of the two pockets under the tongue, to the left or right of the root of the tongue. The measuring sensor must have good contact with the tissue. Close your mouth and breathe evenly through the nose to prevent the measurement from being influenced by inhaled or exhaled air.

Approx. measuring time: 1 minute

In the anus (rectal): This is the most reliable measuring method, and is especially appropriate for infants and small children. Carefully insert the tip of the thermometer 2 to 3 cm into the anal aperture.

Approx. measuring time: 1 minute

In the armpit (axillary): From a medical viewpoint, this method is the least accurate, and should not be used if precise measurements are required.

Approx. measuring time: 5 to 10 minutes

CLEANING AND DISINFECTING

The thermometer is 100% waterproof and can be cleaned by immersing it in water or in a disinfectant solution for maximum of 24 hours. Towel dry before storing in case.

The thermometer must never be boiled

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

When the «   » symbol (upside-down triangle) appears in the lower right of the display, the battery is exhausted and needs replacing. To replace the battery, remove the compartment lid of the thermometer. Replace the exhausted battery by positioning the + at the top. Make sure that you have the same type of battery on hand. Batteries can be purchased at any electrical goods shops. For battery disposal please refer to «safety instructions».
