2.3.5 Monitor Mode
The Monitor mode provides continuous temperature monitoring capability. The recommended
wait time for a Monitor mode oral temperature and a Monitor mode rectal temperature is 3
minutes. The recommended wait time for a Monitor mode axillary temperature is 5 minutes.
The thermometer will automatically switch to Monitor mode under the following conditions:
1. If 60 seconds have passed since the thermometer was removed from the probe well.
2. If the instrument determines that room temperature is above 34.2C (93.5F).
3. If the thermometer is unable to predict an oral or axillary temperature after 20 seconds due
to improper technique or excessive probe movement.
In the normal Predict mode, with correct use, the patient's oral temperature is displayed in
approximately 4 seconds. The instrument will beep to signal completion of the Predict mode
temperature cycle.
If the probe is left out of the storage well after completion of a Predict mode temperature, the
unit will shut down after 30 seconds and enter Low Power mode to conserve power. Replace
the probe in the storage well to prepare for the next temperature.
WARNING: Long-term continuous monitoring beyond three to five minutes is not
recommended in any mode.
For Model 692, press and release the Pulse Timer / Monitor Mode button after you have
withdrawn the probe from the probe well to switch the device into Monitor Mode. The Monitor
Mode indicator appears on the LCD.
WARNING: The unit will automatically enter Monitor Mode if the probe is withdrawn
from the probe well and is not replaced within 60 seconds of inactivity.
For Model 690, take the patient's temperature using the normal Oral, Rectal, Pediatric Axillary,
or Adult Axillary Mode as previously described. Continue to hold the probe in position after the
temperature is displayed. Press the Mode Selection button until the Monitor Mode indicator
appears on the LCD.
