Overview

Sensor-tip
LCD display
On/off button
Battery compartment

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The thermometer is suitable exclusively for measurement of the body temperature!
The minimum measurement time until the signaling tone [beep] must be maintained without exception!
The thermometer contains small parts (battery, etc.) that can be swallowed by children. Keep the thermometer out of the reach of children.
Damage may occur if the thermometer is dropped or by striking on a hard surface.
Avoid ambient temperatures above 60°C. NEVER boil the thermometer!
Use only the commercial disinfectants listed in the section «cleaning and disinfecting» to clean the thermometer. The thermometer must be intact when immersed in liquid disinfectant.
The thermometer contains a long-life battery. The () symbol in the right bottom corner shows on the display to indicate the battery needs to be changed. Open the battery compartment by pulling the colored top firmly. Gently pull out the circuit board with battery compartment approximately 1 cm. Remove the cross tip screw by turning counter clockwise and remove the battery. Replace the used battery with a new one paying attention to the "+" symbol on the battery which must be exposed when positioned. For disposal, please comply with local regulations for special waste.
The manufacturer recommends that the accuracy is verified by an authorized laboratory every 2 years. Please contact out Customer Help line ( 0845 1308050) for advice ( for UK only).

SWITCHING ON

Press the on/off button . A short beep-signal sounds, the device is on.
All symbols show on the LCD display for a few seconds as a means of checking that the thermometer is functioning correctly. If available the last correctly measured temperature is displayed indicated by the "M" symbol. After this the device is ready for measurement indicated by a flashing "°C" symbol and a flashing "L" at an ambient temperature of less than 32°C.

For changing between Fahrenheit and Celsius indication: Keep the on/off button pressed for approximately 4 seconds after switching on the unit.

HOW TO USE THE THERMOMETER

Position the sensor-tip in the preferred place of measurement – mouth, rectum or armpit.

In the mouth (oral)
Position the thermometer under the tongue. The measuring sensor must be in good contact with the tissue. Close your mouth and breath evenly through the nose to prevent the measurement from being influenced by inhaled/exhaled air. Approx. measuring time: 1 minute. Normal temperature between 35.7°C and 37.3°C.

In the anus (rectal)
This is the most reliable measuring method, and is especially appropriate for infants and small children. Carefully insert the tip of the thermometer 2 to 3 cm into the anal aperture. Approx. measuring time 1 minute.
Normal temperature between 36.2°C and 37.7°C.

In the armpit (axillary)
From a medical viewpoint, this method will always provide inaccurate readings, and should not be used if precise measurements are required. Approx. measuring time: 1.5 minutes. Normal temperature between 35.2°C and 36.7°C.
If the signaling tone (beep-beep-beep-beep) sounds 4 times and the «°C» is no longer flashing, this means that the measurement is finished and that the thermometer is ready for reading.

To prolong the life of the battery, turn it off after use by pressing the operating button briefly. Otherwise the thermometer will automatically turn off after about 10 minutes.

WARRANTY
This product is guaranteed by Omron for 3 years after date of purchase. Any damage causes by improper handling shall not be covered by warranty. Batteries and packaging are also excluded from the warranty. All other damage claims excluded. A warranty claim must be submitted with the purchase receipt.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING ELECTRO MAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)
With the increased number of electronic devices such as PC's and mobile (cellular) telephones, medical devices in use may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference from other devices. Electromagnetic interference may result in incorrect operation of the medical device and create a potentially unsafe situation. Medical devices should also not interfere with other devices.
In order to regulate the requirements for EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) with the aim to prevent unsafe product situations, the IEC60601-1-2 standard has been implemented. This standard defines the levels of immunity to electromagnetic interferences as well as maximum levels of electromagnetic emissions for medical devices.
This medical device manufactured by OMRON Healthcare conforms to this IEC60601-1-2:2001 standard for both immunity and emissions.
Nevertheless, special precautions need to be observed:

Do not use mobile (cellular) telephones and other devices, which generate strong electrical or electromagnetic fields, near the medical device. This may result in incorrect operation of the unit and create a potentially unsafe situation. Recommendation is to keep a minimum distance of 7 m. Verify correct operation of the device in case the distance is shorter.

Further documentation in accordance with IEC60601-1-2:2001 is available at OMRON Healthcare Europe at the address mentioned in this instruction manual.
