when a stable temperature has been reached. When this stage has been reached, an acoustic signal is heard, the "°C" ("°F") symbol stops flashing and the temperature measured is displayed. As long as the measured temperature is below 32°C (89,6°F), "Lo °C" ("Lo °F") will appear. Higher temperatures will be shown directly, e.g. 32,1°C (89,8°F). By prolonging the length of measurement until after the acoustic signal, more ac curate measurements can be obtained. In case the temperature is measured in the armpit, the thermometer should be left in the armpit for the recommended time of measurement, in spite of the acoustic signal. If temperatures over 37,8°C (100°F) are measured, a fever alarm sounds (short bleeping tones, 10 seconds long). If temperatures higher than 42,9°C (109,2°F) are measured, the symbol for "Hi °C" ("Hi °F") will appear. To prolong the life of the battery, please switch off the thermometer by briefly pressing the on/off key after the measurement. Otherwise the thermometer will automatically switch off after 10 minutes.
The last measured value will be stored automatically. Press the ON/OFF button to display this value. The thermometer first carries out a self test. Next the last stored measured value is displayed for approx. 2 sec and then the reference value of 37°C (98,6°F) and "Lo" is shown on the display. The thermometer is ready to take a measurement and the previously stored measurement value is automatically replaced by the new measurement value.
The temperature can be displayed in degrees Celsius (°C) and degrees Fahrenheit (°F). To set the measuring unit press and hold the On/Off button for longer than 2 seconds when switching on until the measuring unit changes.
The saved value is displayed in the new measuring unit.
The clinical thermometer contains a long-lasting alkali-manganese battery (type LR 41, 1.5 V) for approximately 2 years. The battery has to be replaced when appears in the bottom right corner of the display. Release the battery compartment cover by gently pressing on the catch. Remove the old battery and replace it with a battery of the same type. The + sign on the battery must point upwards. Then close the battery compartment, making sure that the catch clicks into place. The empty, completely flat batteries must be disposed of through specially designated collection boxes, recycling points or electronics retailers. You are legally required to dispose of the batteries.
The codes below are printed on batteries containing harmful substances: Pb = Battery contains lead, Cd = Battery contains cadmium, Hg = Battery contains mercury. These batteries contain lead (Pb) and mercury (Hg).
