the monitor. The dock also charges the thermometer battery.
Read the thermometer manufacturer's directions for use before attempting to configure, use,
troubleshoot, or maintain the thermometer.

lower-left corner) changes to "MODE: Direct..." as it switches to the
Direct mode. The monitor sounds a tone to indicate the start of a
Direct measurement. Once you are in the Direct mode, continue to
separate the buttocks and hold the probe in place throughout the
measurement process.

Therefore, it is important to note the temperature before removing
the probe from the measurement site and then manually record it in
the patient record.
