DIGITAL THERMOMETER

Model: OR-700R

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Do not use this thermometer to measure anything other than body temperature. Intended use is for oral, axillary, and rectal measurements.

• Do not walk, run, or talk during temperature taking.

• Do not take body temperature readings within 5-10 minutes after being outdoors, exercising, or bathing.

• Do not use the device near a phone or any other device that may cause electromagnetic interference.

• Do not store the unit under direct sunlight, at a high temperature, in high humidity or dust.

• Do not drop the thermometer, and do not use it if there are signs of damage. If damaged, do not attempt to repair the device! Contact the Mueller Medical

Customer Service.

• Do not disassemble. See “Replacing the battery” section of this manual for instructions on how to replace the battery.

• If the instrument is not going to be used for a prolonged period, the batteries should be removed.

• Do not immerse the thermometer in water or other liquid. Clean and disinfect the thermometer as described in the "Cleaning and storage" section of this user manual.

• Clean the device probe before and after each use.

• Keep the thermometer out of the reach of children.

• Body temperature can vary from 97°F (36.1°C) and 99°F (37.2°C) and still be considered normal. The medically accepted ‘normal’ body temperature is 98.6°F

(37°C). The level of activity, time of day, and other factors may affect body temperature. A fever is defined as a body temperature that is elevated above the normal for that person. It is important to determine what is ‘normal’ for an individual before determining if a fever is present. Tracking an individual’s temperature on a consistent basis, at the same time every day will help determine an individual’s ‘normal’ temperature.

HOW TO USE

1. Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the thermometer. The unit will beep once and display

Note: To switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit

(°F), hold the ON/FF button for 3 seconds when turning on the thermometer.

2. The thermometer will then show the last measured temperature, indicated by an “M” in the bottom right corner of the display.

3. Then, 98.6

˚ F (or 37.0

˚ C) will appear.

Note: If the room temperature is lower than 89.6

˚ F (32.0

˚ C), the display will show “L” instead of “Lo”.

If, however, the room temperature is higher than 109.9°F

(42.9°C), the display will show “H”.

5. Apply the thermometer to the measurement area. This may be oral, axillary (underarm/armpit) or rectal area.

6. When the reading is ready, the thermometer will emit 10 beep sounds within 10 seconds. Remove the thermometer from the measurement area and read the result.

ON OFF

Note: If the temperature reading is higher than 100°F (37.8°C), the unit will beep

30 times within 10 seconds; this is a fever alert.

7. Press the ON/OFF button to turn off the unit. When not in use, store the unit in the provided storage case, in a cool dry place and out of reach of children.

Note: If not turned off manually, the unit will automatically turn off approximately 8 minutes after use.

Oral Use

• Place the thermometer in the mouth under the tongue so that it rests to the left or right of the root of the tongue (heat pockets).

• Use downward tongue pressure to hold the thermometer in place. Hold the thermometer to keep it from sliding around in the mouth.

• Mouth should be closed while the thermometer is measuring temperature.

Note: Approximate measuring time: 1 minute.

Axillary Use (Armpit)

• Wipe the armpit with a dry towel.

• Place the probe tip under the arm, so the tip is touching the skin with the thermometer perpendicular to the body.

• Lock the probe tip under the arm using the arm to slightly apply pressure inwards. In the case of infants and very young children, gently hold their arm to prevent movement.

• Axillary temperature is usually approximately 1.0°F – 2.0°F (0.5°C – 1.0°C) lower than an oral temperature.

Note: To achieve most accurate axillary temperature measurement results, a minimum measuring time of 2-3 minutes is recommended regardless of the beep sound.

Rectal Use

• Apply a water-soluble gel to the probe tip.

• Gently insert the probe tip a MAXIMUM of 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) into the rectum. Stop if you encounter any resistance. The sensing device is on the very tip of the probe, so there is no need to insert the probe deep into the rectum.

• Rectal temperature is usually approximately 1.0°F – 2.0°F (0.5°C – 1.0°C) higher than an oral temperature.

Note: Approximate measuring time: 1 minute.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

The battery in your digital thermometer needs to be replaced when “ ” appears in the lower right corner of the display. Replace the battery with a 1.5V, AG3 alkaline, or LR41 silver oxide type or equivalent.

To replace the battery:

1. Slide the battery cap away from the unit.

2. Pull out the battery set about 0.7 inches (18 mm), until the battery is uncovered.

3. Use a non-metal pointed tool to remove the battery and insert the new battery with the positive (+) side facing up.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

• The body of the thermometer can be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth.

• A soft cotton cloth moistened with 75% isopropyl alcohol should be used to disinfect the probe tip.

• Do not immerse the thermometer or allow any liquid to enter the casing.

• Do not use cleaning agents other than alcohol to clean the thermometer; abrasives, thinners, or gasoline will damage the unit.
