POW R button, and display will change the mode and display the new temperature reading mode. Release
the POW R button and begin your reading.

MEMORY RECALL

This unit includes a recall of the last measurement taken. When the unit is OFF, press the POW R button to turn
the unit on, and release. After the self-test, the unit will briefly show the last reading with an'M'on the display .

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Wipe or dip the probe tip with isopropyl alcohol to clean before use; apply a probe cover if using.
Press and release the POW R button to activate the thermometer. The unit will beep and the display will show
all of the digital display symbols as it performs a self-test before showing the last reading in memory.
'Lo' with a flashing °F(°C) will appear in the display, followed by a brief flash of 98.6°F(37°C); the display will
return to the 'Lo' with flashing °F(°C), indicating that the thermometer is ready for measurement.

ORAL USE

Approximate measurement time: 10-20 seconds — Place the probe under the tongue as
near as possible to a heat pocket as noted in the diagram. Readings will be progressively
lower the further the probe is from the indicated heat pockets. Hold the thermometer in
place during the reading; do not bite down on the thermometer. The mouth must remain
closed to ensure accurate results.

UNDERARM (AXILLARY) USE

Approximate measurement time: 20-30 seconds — Place the probe tip under the arm so that
the tip is touching skin; hold the thermometer parallel, slightly angled upwards. Position the arm
across the chest to ensure the tip is completely covered. Underarm temperature readings are
generally 1°F lower than oral readings.

RECTAL USE

Approximate measurement time: 9 seconds — Apply a probe cover and use a water-soluble
lubricant for easier insertion. Lay the patient on their side or stomach with their legs hanging down. Gently
insert the tip of the probe NO MORE THAN 1 INCH into the rectum; stop immediately if you detect resistance.
Always hold the thermometer in place during measurement. Rectal temperature readings are generally 1°F
higher than oral readings.
