Changing Between Celsius And Fahrenheit; How To Recall 30 Readings In Memory Mode; Error Messages - Microlife IR210 Manual

START/IO button 6. After 1 second a long beep will verify the
completion of measurement.
4. Read the recorded temperature from the LCD display.
5. For the next measurement wait until the «°C»/«°F» icon is
flashing and follow steps 3-4 above.

NOTE:
 Patients and thermometer should stay in similar room
condition for at least 30 minutes.
 To ensure accurate readings, wait at least 30 sec. after 3-5
continuous measurements.
 It is essential that a new undamaged probe cover CK is
used for each measurement. Therefore, this device reminds
the user to take off the used probe cover when turning off the
device. The «probe cover» icon BN is displayed and the probe
LED light will flash for 3 seconds. For cleaning, follow the
instructions in the «Cleaning and Disinfecting» section.
 After cleaning the measuring sensor 1 with alcohol, wait 5
minutes before taking the next measurement, in order to allow
the thermometer to reach its operating reference temperature.
 10 short beeps and a red LCD backlight alert the patient that he/
she may have a temperature equal to or higher than 37.5 °C.
 For an infant, it is best to have the child lying flat with his/her head
sideways so the ear is facing upwards. For an older child or adult,
it is best to stand behind and slightly to the side of the patient.
 Always take the temperature in the same ear, since the temper-
ature readings may be different from ear to ear.
 In the following situations it is recommended that three temper-
atures in the same ear be taken and the highest one taken as
the reading:
1. New born infants in the first 100 days.
2. Children under three years of age with a compromised
immune system and for whom the presence or absence of
fever is critical.
3. When the user is learning how to use the thermometer for
the first time until he/she has familiarized himself/herself with
the device and obtains consistent readings.
4. If the measurement is surprisingly low.
 Don't take a measurement while or immediately after nursing a
baby.
 Don't use the thermometer in high humidity environments.
 Patients should not drink, eat or exercise before/while taking
the measurement.

 Doctors recommend rectal measurement for newborn infants
within the first 6 months, as all other measuring methods might
lead to ambiguous results.
 Readings from different measuring sites should not be
compared as the normal body temperature varies by
measuring site and time of day, being highest in the evening
and lowest about one hour before waking up.
Normal body temperature ranges:
- Axillar: 34.7 - 37.3 °C / 94.5 - 99.1 °F
- Oral: 35.5 - 37.5 °C / 95.9 - 99.5 °F
- Rectal: 36.6 - 38.0 °C / 97.9 - 100.4 °F
- Microlife IR 210: 35.4 - 37.4 °C / 95.7 - 99.3 °F

9. Changing between Celsius and Fahrenheit

This thermometer can display temperature readings in either Fahr-
enheit or Celsius. To switch the display between °C and °F, press
and hold the MODE button 4 for 3 seconds; the beeper icon is
shown on the display. Press the MODE button again; the current
measurement scale («°C» or «°F» icon) will be shown on the
display AQ. Change the measurement scale between °C and °F by
pressing the M-button 3. When the measurement scale has been
chosen, press the START/IO button 6 to enter the «ready for
measuring» mode; otherwise the device automatically switches to
ready for measuring after 10 seconds 9.

10. How to recall 30 readings in Memory Mode

This thermometer can recall the last 30 readings with a record of
both time and date.
 Recall mode AR: Press the M-button 3 to enter recall mode
when the power is off. The memory icon «M» will flash.
 Reading 1 - the last reading AS: Press and release the M-
button 3 to recall the last reading. Number «1» and a flashing
«M» are displayed.
Pressing and releasing the M-button 3 after the last 30 readings
have been recalled will resume the above sequence from reading 1.

11. Error Messages

 Measured temperature too high BT: Displays «H» when
measured temperature is higher than 43 °C / 109.4 °F in body
mode or 99.9 °C / 211.8 °F in object mode.
