Recording the temperature

Push and release button to switch the thermometer on. In the display you will see the sign °C flashing. This sign will keep on flashing until the measurement is completed. (If you should wish to read the last recorded temperature keep the button pressed down for a couple of seconds. See also section "The reading in the display".)
Place the thermometer in the area where you want to record the temperature.
Mouth: the temperature is highest under the tongue (see fig. 2).

Armpit: place the tip under the armpit and with your upper arm hold the thermometer against the chest.
Rectal: it is not necessary to insert the tip deeper than 1 cm (0.4"). In the case of rectal measurement you can read the body temperature quite quickly: about 1 minute suffices. When measuring in the mouth or under the arrnpit it takes slightly longer.
The bleeper will sound three times when the tip has been brought to body temperature. The display will stop flashing. You can then read the recorded temperature in the display.
Switch the thermometer off after use by depressing button again. When the button is pressed down the bleeper will sound.
