Microlife MT1P21-PRO Quick Start Manual

30-Second
Dishwasher Safe Thermometer
Model #MT1P21-PRO
This predictive clinical digital electronic thermometer is for the intermittent
measurement and monitoring of human adult and pediatric body temperatures;
orally, and under the arm.
This thermometer can be used with or without
a tip cover. To use a cover, slide onto sensor
tip until fully engaged and peel off paper.
Covers are for single use, do not reuse. If
thermometer has been in a cold environment,
allow it to warm up to room temperature for
about 15 minutes before use. Avoid storing at
temperatures above 140˚ (60˚ C).
This thermometer IS intended to be used:
• For self-measurement/monitoring of human body temperature whereas the
person being measured may be the user/operator of the device.
• Orally, or Under the Arm (axillary).
• Adults
• Pediatric
This thermometer IS NOT intended for use with:
• Neonatal
General Warnings

How to Take a Temperature:
Press power button to turn unit on. Display should read "188.8" to confirm
normal function. An "Err" message indicates unit is not working properly. The
last recorded measurement will show for 2 seconds, followed by "- - -" and a
flashing "F" or "C", indicating that thermometer is ready for use.
Function Check
Oral Use:
• Do not drink hot or cold liquids or exercise before use.
• Place sensor tip under tongue as shown in Figure A.
• Accurate temperature reading will take approximately 30
seconds. An open mouth or improper placement could
make reading take longer.
Underarm Use:
• Wipe underarm with dry towel.
• Place sensor tip in armpit and lower arm against body as
shown in Figure B.
• Accurate temperature reading will take approximately 5
minutes with proper use.
Reading the Temperature:
For readings 99.5˚ F (37.5˚ C) and below, the thermometer
beeps 10 times to indicate temperature is within normal range.
For readings above 99.5˚ F (37.5˚ C), the thermometer emits a series of short,
rapid beats to indicate a possible high temperature.
