Special Features

Last-Temperature Memory Recall: With the thermometer off, press and hold the
multifunction button for approximately 5 seconds. The display of 188.8 will change to
show the last reading. This reading is displayed as long as the button is held down.
When the button is released, the thermometer will be in "ready-to-measure" mode and
the recalled temperature will be erased.
Switching Temperature Modes: Within 3 seconds of turning on the thermometer, the
Celsius or Fahrenheit mode can be switched by pressing and holding the multifunction
button for at least 2 seconds.
Ensuring Accurate Temperature Measurement
We recommend using probe covers (Figure 1)
with all digital stick thermometers.
Oral Use: Place the probe well under the patient' s tongue
(Figure 2). Keep mouth closed while thermometer is 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. Insert the tip
of the probe no more than 1/2 inch into the rectum.
