How to Use
1. Disinfect the probe with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol before using.
2. We recommend using probe covers with all digital stick thermometers. If using, place
cover over tip of unit.
3. Wait at least 1 minute between consecutive measurements for the unit to readjust to
room temperature.
4. Place the probe in the appropriate position for your measurement site (see Ensuring
Accurate Temperature Measurement below).
Switching Temperature Modes
1. With the thermometer off, press the mode button and the multifunction button at the
same time until you see the scale alternate.
2. Release both buttons and wait 5 seconds. The correct scale and the mode icon will
appear, indicating the unit is ready to measure.
Ensuring Accurate Temperature Measurement
We recommend using probe covers (Figure 1)
with all digital stick thermometers.
Operating the 2-second digital thermometer:
For first use: Remove the protective case from probe tip and the LCD protective sticker.
1. Press and release the multifunction button, a short beep will follow.
Wait 2 seconds for the unit to get ready. During these
2 seconds the following sequence will be displayed
on the LCD:
A: All display icons will appear.
B: The display will show last measurement.
C: The hourglass will disappear and the display
will show the scale and mode icons. This will
indicate the thermometer is now ready for measurement.
2. Select your preferred measurement location
(oral/rectal/underarm)
by using the Mode button.
3. Place the probe tip at the desired location.
The temperature reading will be displayed within 2 seconds. One long beep will indicate that
the measurement is completed. If you want to take another measurement, turn off the
thermometer and wait 1 minute between consecutive measurements to allow the unit to
readjust to room temperature.
Oral Use (for children 4 years and older): Place the
probe well under the patient's tongue (Figure 2). Keep
mouth closed while thermometer is reading. The peak
temperature should be reached in approximately 2 sec-
onds. Opening the mouth or improper placement of the
probe tip could result in a longer time for a reading.
Rectal Use: Lubricate the probe cover with a water-
soluable jelly for easier insertion; do not use petroleum
jelly, as it may cause an inaccurate reading.
