Instructions
Carefully read all the instructions and warnings on this leaflet before use.
This item is waterproof. Do not immerse in more than 15cm of water and for a maximum of 30 minutes.
•
Wash probe thoroughly before first and each subsequent use with a damp cloth. Sanitise probe if required by wiping
•
with cold water sterilising solution, 70% Isopropyl alcohol or similar method.
Store out of reach of children, in a cool dry place away from sunlight and direct heat sources.
•
Always consult your doctor concerning raised temperatures and any other worrying symptoms. It may be a good
•
idea to establish and record your usual temperature regularly when not ill.
Whilst Individuals may vary, normal temperature is considered to be 37ºC. However, body temperature can vary from
•
36ºC up to the normal level.
A mild rise in temperature would be to about 37.8ºC and you should consult your doctor if your temperature remains
•
at this for more than 24 hours or if your temperature rises to 38.6ºC.
Respiratory air may affect the accuracy of measurement. You are recommended to close the mouth for about 1
•
minute to let temperature in the mouth become steady.
This thermometer can measure the temperature between 32°C and 44°C. Accuracy is ± 0.1ºC between 35.5°C –
•
42°C and ± 0.2°C for the remainder of the range.
Directions
The unit is switched on and off with the button alongside the display window. The start-up screen will appear on the
•
LCD display and a beep will be heard. If it has been used previously, the last reading will be shown on the screen for
2 seconds.
If "Lo ºC / Lo ºF" appears, it means the room temperature is below 32°C or 89.6°F. "Hi ºC / Hi ºF" will be displayed if
•
the room temperature is greater than 42.9°C or 109.2°F. If the room temperature is greater than 32°C, it will be
displayed rather than Lo °C. If the thermometer displays over 35°C dip the thermometer tip in cold water for
approximately 5 seconds prior to measuring your temperature.
The °C/°F symbol will flash when the thermometer is ready for use.
•
Place the tip under the tongue and close the mouth. Wait for approximately 40 to 60 seconds or until you hear
•
bleeping tones and the "°C" / "°F" symbol to stop flashing. After hearing the bleeping tones, wait 4 more seconds.
The unit may now be removed and the displayed temperature recorded.
•
The unit will auto power off after around 10 minutes of not being used.
•
To switch between °C and °F
Make sure the thermometer is turned off. Hold down the ON/OFF button until it shows C – F on the LCD screen and
•
then, release it. The current unit will flash, to change it, press the button and choose the desired unit. Wait
approximately 5 seconds until the thermometer will automatically turn off.
Replacing the batteries
The low battery symbol appears when the battery requires replacing.
•
Turn the thermometer face down and remove the battery cover using a coin on the counter-clockwise direction then,
•
remove the battery. The replacement battery should be of the same type CR2032. Make sure "positive" side is facing
upwards. Turn the cover clockwise with a coin to close it.
Always take care when removing the battery cover as damage may occur if the unit is dropped or knocked against
•
any hard surface.
Remove batteries if the unit is not being used for a long period of time to prevent them from leaking.
•
Do not throw away used battery in household waste. Dispose of the battery at your local waste disposal centre in the
•
appropriate battery dispose site.
