cross-contamination. The use of any other probe cover may produce temperature
measurement errors or result in inaccurate readings.

10.1.2 Measuring Procedure

1. Ensure the sensor is well installed. The icon indicating measuring position flashes in TEMP
parameter area on the main interface. If necessary, change the MEASURE MODE and
MEASURE POS (measure position) in menu.
2. Take out the sensor from the sensor bracket. After warm-up, it beeps and displays
WARM-UP OVER in information area.
3. Load a sensor cover by inserting the sensor into a sensor cover and press the sensor handle
firmly. The sensor handle will move slightly to engage the sensor cover.
4. Holding the sensor handle with your thumb and two fingers, insert it to the measuring
position.
For measuring oral TEMP, place the sensor tip under the patient's tongue on either side of the
mouth to reach the rear sublingual pocket. Have the patient close his lips around the sensor.
For measuring oral TEMP, do not take an axillary temperature through patient's clothing.
5. The monitor enters PREDICT measuring mode, — — — displays in the TEMP parameter
area. After Predict measuring is over, the measuring result displays, and MEASURE OVER
appears on the interface.
