Measuring Instructions

• Press the On-/Off-button. After a short time the display will show LO and a flashing °C or °F.
• Please stand, sit or lie still and start with the measuring.
• With oral measuring, take the sensor of the device in the mouth and hold it closed. The normal temperature is 37.0°C/98.6°F
• Do you want to measure in the armpits, clip the sensor under the armpit. The normal temperature is 36.5°C/97.7°F.
• If you use the thermometer rectally, apply a bit of a water-soluble cream e.g. Vaseline to the sensor tip. Insert it carefully by max. 2 cm. The normal temperature is 37.5°C/99.5°F. From a medical point of view this is the most accurate method of measurement.
• Recommended measure time:
  In the rectal: the usual measuring time is approximately 40 to 60 seconds.
  Under the arm: the usual measuring time is approximately 80 to 120 seconds.
  In the mouth: the usual measuring time is approximately 50 to 70 seconds.
• If the temperature is too high HI °C or HI °F indicates. Is the measuring to low LO °C or LO °F indicates.
• After approx. 8 minutes or by pressing the On-/Off-button, the device off automatically.
• If you switch the device on again, it will always show the last measured temperature (memory function).
