On / Off Switch
Digital Display Window
2. Place the thermometer tip under the tongue on a heat pocket ( ) as shown in
Fig. 7.

4. Readings will continue to increase and the oF (or oC) symbol will flash during
measurement (See Fig.8).

5. When peak temperature is reached, the oF (or oC) symbol will stop flashing
(See Fig. 9) and
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING
BODY TEMPERATURE
Normal body temperature can vary from 97oF (36.1 oC) to 99 oF (37.2 oC) . The generally accepted
“Normal” temperature is 98.6 oF (37.0 oC). Usually your temperature is lower in the morning than in the
afternoon. Normal temperature varies according to the location of the temperature reading. While the
oral temperature follows the guidelines previously described, a rectal temperature is generally 1.0 oF
(0.5 oC) higher. Conversely, an axillary (under the arm) temperature will be 1.0 oF (0.5 oC) lower.
GENERAL CARE AND USE
BEFORE USE PLEASE NOTE
1. The thermometer should be held during use. The patient should be seated or lying down.
2. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE TAKEN UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
3. Avoid exposure to temperature extremes, dust, excessive humidity and direct sunlight.
4. Do not soak the thermometer in water or other liquids. Keep parts other than the probe away
from moisture.
5. Do not attempt to sterilize with heat or by boiling.
6. Do not bend or drop the unit. It is not shock proof.
7. Do not allow the unit to come into contact with any thinners or chemical solvents.
8. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit except to replace the battery.
9. Do not bite the main body or sensor unit.
DIRECTIONS FOR CLEANING
Clean the Thermometer probe before and after use by wiping it with soap and water. Rinse with 70%
Isoprophyl Alcohol, then rinse thoroughly in cold water.

a)
When the temperature is higher than 99.4 oF (or 37.4 oC) the beeper will
sound “beep-beep-beep” ten times to indicate a high temperature.
b) When the temperature is lower than or equal to 99.4 oF (or 37.4 oC) the
beeper will sound “beep” ten times.
6. After measurement, record the temperature, then turn off the unit to save the
battery life. If you forget to turn it off, the unit will power down automatically
after approximately 5 minutes.
NOTE : THE MOUTH MUST REMAIN CLOSED DURING THE MEASUREMENT TO ENSURE
ACCURATE READINGS.
RECTAL USE
Rectal temperature should only be taken when oral and axillary temperatures are inconvenient. It is
recommended that axillary temperatures be taken on infants. LUBRICATE WITH LUBRICATING
JELLY AND INSERT THE PROBE NO MORE THAN 1/2 INCH INTO RECTUM. Hold thermometer
in place until you hear the beep signal and the oF (or oC) sign stops flashing (about 40 seconds.)
AXILLARY USE
Dry armpit before measurement. Place the tip of the probe under arm so that the tip is touching the skin.
This area is called axilla. Hold the thermometer so that it is parallel to the patient’s body and fold the
arm over the chest. This ensures that the tip of the probe is well covered and not influenced by air. Hold
thermometer in place until you hear the beep signal and the oF (or oC) sign stops flashing (about 3
minutes)
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Replace battery with an alkaline LR 41 or equivalent type whenever the low battery indicator “ + - ”
flashing.
1. Remove screw located on the back of the thermometer. Press
down on the battery cover and push in the direction show
by the arrow in the illustration.
2. Remove battery with a non-metallic probe.
3. Insert new battery. NOTE : The +Ve side must face match
with “+” sign in plastics.
4. Replace the cover.
5. Dispose off used battery properly.
NOTE : Inserting battery with reverse polarity may damage
the unit. Dispose off this thermometer properly as per local
regulations. This Digital clinical thermometer is pre-calibrated
and can not be re-calibrated.
CAUTION
NEVER SUBMERGE THIS THERMOMETER IN ANY LIQUID.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO STERILIZE WITH HEAT, BY BOILING OR IN A GAS OR STEAM
AUTOCLAVE.
Thermometer performance may degrade in the following cases :
(a) Operation/storage outside the specified operating/storage temperature
range respectively.
(b) Mechanical Shock/dropping.
(c) Patient temperature is below ambient temperature.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Ensure that the thermometer has been turned off before taking temperature.
o
DISPOSABLE PROBE COVER USE.
1. Insert the thermometer into probe cover. Take care not to push the
thermometer tip through the end of the probe cover.
1.
2. Holding the thermometer and tab of the probe cover as shown, pull
away the covering longer side.
2.
3. Tilt thermometer to remove cover from shorter side.
3.
4. Dispose off the probe cover after taking temperature.
NOTE : For rectal use, after applying probe cover lubricate thermometer
tip with a water soluble jelly.
o
2. The unit is factory set to F. To start the unit in F, Press the blue colored
ON/OFF switch momentarily once. To start the unit in oC, Press and hold the
blue colored ON/OFF switch for approximately 2 sec., when oF start blinking
press the switch again one to choose oC. If you need to go back of oF scale,
press and hold ON/OFF switch for approximately 2 sec and choose your
scale by momentary press of switch, once oC starts blinking.
3. The following appear in quick sequence.
(a) This is the LCD display test (See Fig. 1). It appears for approximately 2
seconds and indicates all the segments of the LCD are functioning
properly.
(b) If the previous reading is between 89.6 oF ~ 109.4 oF, (32 oC ~ 43oC), the
unit will display the last time measured temperature value for about 3
seconds with symbol M (Fig.2.). If the last time measured temperature
value is out of range (< 32 oC & > 43 oC OR < 89.6 oF & > 109.4 oF) the
unit will display 97.7 oF (36.5 oC) without the M symbol (Fig.3) for
about 3 seconds.
(c) The unit goes through the internal self checking test procedure. If the
unit is good, it will display 98.6 oF (37.0 oC) (Fig.4) for about one second, otherwise it will display “Err” (Fig.5)
(d) When “Lo” appears with the flashing oF (oC) sign (Fig. 6), the unit is
ready to take temperature.
