Doctors recommend rectal measurement for newborn infants
within the first 6 months, as all other measuring methods might
lead to ambiguous results. If using a non contact thermometer
on those infants, we always recommend verifying the readings
with a rectal measurement.
In the following situations it is recommended that three
temperatures are taken with the highest one taken as the
reading:
Children under three years of age with a compromised
immune system and for whom the presence or absence of
fever is critical.
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.
If the measurement is surprisingly low.
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 NC 300: 35.4 - 37.4 °C / 95.7 - 99.3 °F
8. 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 6 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 AN. Change the measurement scale between °C and °F by
pressing the M-button 5. When the measurement scale has been
chosen, press the START/IO button 4 to enter the «ready for
measuring» mode; otherwise the device automatically switches to
ready for measuring after 10 seconds 9.
9. How to recall 30 readings in Memory Mode
