Changing the Probe Cover Dispenser

The thermometer handle will not slide if a dispenser is not installed or if it is empty. A
vertical window in the handle of the thermometer allows you to see when the probe
cover dispenser is empty. To replace the dispenser:

1. Ensure that the probe is fully retracted, then
remove the probe cover dispenser from the
thermometer's handle by pulling on the tab at the
end of the dispenser (Figure A). Discard the
empty dispenser.
2. Check to see that the first probe cover in the
new dispenser is positioned properly (Figure A).
3. Insert the new probe cover dispenser (flat end
first) into the handle of the thermometer. Align
the edges of the dispenser with the slots inside
of the handle, then slide the dispenser upward
until it snaps into place (Figure B). The
thermometer is now ready for use.
You should routinely take a moment to inspect
the sensor lens for clarity and debris, and it is
recommended that the sensor lens be cleaned
as needed. Refer to "Cleaning the Probe Sensor
Lens" on page 4.
