of human body temperature in °C, direct mode
Instructions for use
Tip
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not walk, run or speak while using the thermometer.
• Do not drop the thermometer. It is not resistant to shock or impact.
• The thermometer contains small parts, which children could swallow. Do not
let children use the device unsupervised.
• Protect the device from high temperatures and direct sunlight.
• Do not open the casing (except to change the battery).
• Using the thermometer other than as intended can lead to inaccurate meas-
urements.
• The use of this device in the vicinity of mobile phones, microwaves or other
devices with strong electromagnetic fields can cause malfunctions. Maintain
a distance of at least three metres from such devices when using the ther-
mometer
• Keep the thermometer in the plastic case
MEASURING POINTS
In the rectum (rectal measurement)
Carefully insert the tip 1-2 cm into the anus. Minimum measurement time: 60
seconds
In the mouth (oral/sublingual measurement)
Do not consume hot or cold food or drinks for at least 10 minutes before meas-
uring body temperature. Insert the tip into one of the two heat pockets under
the tongue, on the left- or right-hand side of the root of the tongue. Close the
mouth and breathe calmly through the nose. Minimum measurement time: 60
seconds
Under the arm (axillary measurement)
The skin must be completely dry. Place the tip under the arm, so that it is fully
in contact with the skin. The thermometer should be at right angles to the body.
Place the arm across the chest, so that the tip is tightly covered. Minimum meas-
urement time: 3 minutes.

MEASURING THE TEMPERATURE
Press the on/off button to switch on the thermometer. A short signal tone con-
firms that the thermometer is switched on. At the same time, all signals on the
display are illuminated as a visual functionality check. The last measurement
is then displayed for approx. 2 seconds together with a small "M" symbol (M =
memory). An internal test value of 37.0 °C is then displayed and the thermome-
ter switches to measuring mode.
Place the thermometer at the desired measurement point. During measurement
the current temperature is shown on the display with a flashing "°C" symbol. If
the increase in temperature over a period of 16 seconds is less than 0.1 °C, the
thermometer will beep. If the temperature is being measured orally or rectally,
this beep means that the approximate final temperature is now being displayed;
the temperature will only change marginally from this point on. If the temper-
ature is being measured under the arm, it is important to stick to the intended
minimum measurement, irrespective of whether the device beeps.
For temperatures up to 37.8 °C, the normal sound will be made (10 long, equal
beeps). For temperatures over 37.8 °C, the fever alarm will sound (30 short beeps
in groups of 3).
Read the temperature from the display. The thermometer will switch itself
off automatically after approx. 10 minutes. You can also turn it off earlier by
pressing the on/off button. The temperature will be saved until the next one
is measured.
CLASSIFICATION OF THE TEMPERATURES MEASURED
On average, body temperature measured orally is 36.7 °C ± 0,5 °C. You can use
the guidelines below to classify the level of fever:
37.5 °C to 37.9 °C: elevated temperature
38.0 °C to 38.9 °C: moderate fever
39.0 °C and above: high fever
Temperatures measured rectally are generally 0.5 °C higher than those measured
orally, while temperatures measured under the arm are 0.5 °C lower.
Warning: Always consult a doctor if the reading shows a high fever.
