Kerbl BigScreen 2130 - Digital Thermometer Manual

Correct use

Please read the instructions carefully before using the thermometer for the first time, and keep these in a safe place.
The fever thermometer is designed exclusively for use in the veterinary sector and not for use on humans.

Use

Before using, please disinfect the probe at first. To switch on, press the ON/OFF button next to the display; a short beep will sound, indicating that the thermometer is operational. When the letters „Lo" and a flashing „°C" or „°F" display, the thermometer is now ready for use. If the ambient temperature is below 32°C or 89,6°C, then „Lo°C" or „Lo°F" will appear on the LCD and if it is more than 42°C or 107,6°F, then „HI°C" or „HI°F" will appear on the LCD. Temperature below 37.6°C = Normal alarm: green backlight, 5 sec. Temperature above 37.6°C = Fever alarm: red backlight, 5 sec. How to change „°C" to „°F": Press switch to turn on and hold it, until displays „Lo°C" (no flash), then release the switch within 2 sec. and press it again. You can change the temperature unit from °C to °F or back. As soon as the constant temperature value is reached, a beep will sound four times, and the „°C" or „°F" symbol will stop flashing. The highest temperature measured appears on the LCD. When the measurement is completed, please switch the thermometer off by pressing the ON/ OFF button. After the temperature has been displayed, the thermometer will shut off automatically after 10 minutes.

Memory function

Switch the thermometer off, then press the ON/OFF button for about 2 seconds. The last measured value with „°C" or „°F" will appear automatically on the LCD.

Methods of measuring temperature

In the rectum (rectal)

This is the most accurate method from a medical point of view. The thermometer tip is inserted carfully into the rectum for a maximum of 2 cm. The usual measuring time is approximately 9 to 11 seconds.

In the mouth (oral)

There are different heat zones in the mouth. As a general rule, the oral temperature is 0.3°C to 0.8°C lower than the rectal temperature. The usual measuring time is approximately 15 to 19 seconds.

Note: We strongly recommend the rectal method as the most accurate method for identifying the basal temperature and advise you to extend the measuring time by 3 minutes after the beep.

Cleaning and disinfection

The best way to clean the thermometer tip is by applying a disinfectant (e.g. 70% ethyl alcohol) with a damp cloth.

Safety precautions

• Do not allow the device to come into contact with hot water.
• Do not expose to high temperateres or direct sunlight.
• Do not drop the thermometer. It is neither shock-proof nor impact-resistant.
• Do not bend or open the device (except the battery compartment).
• Do not clean with thinners, petrol or benzenel. Only clean with water or disinfectant.
• Do not immerse the Waterproof thermometers in liquid for longer than 30 minutes.
• The thermometer contains small parts (battery, battery compartment) which can be swallowed by children. For this reason, do not leave the thermometer unattended in the hands of children.
• Avoid bending the Non-Flexible thermometer tip. For the Flexible ther-mometer, avoid bending the tip by more than 45 degrees.
• If the ambient temperature is over 35°C or 95°C, dip the thermometer tip in cold water for approx. 5 to 10 seconds prior to measuring the temperature.
• A persistent fever requires medical attention - please consult a veterinarian!

Battery replacement

If the battery icon is shown on the LCD display, the thermometer is powered adequately. If the icon no longer appears or if the device will not switch on, the battery is empty and must be replaced. To do this, remove the battery compartment cover and replace the battery with a new one of the same type. Ensure the battery is inserted correctly. (+ top, - bottom).
