TEMPERATURE READINGS (Takes approximately 15 seconds)
Temperature readings vary from person to person. Although there is no one "normal" temperature reading, a temperature, taken orally, ranging between 36.1 & 37.8 °C is considered
normal. A rectal temperature is generally up to 0.6°C (1.0°F) higher and an underarm (axillary) temperature will be up to 0.6°C (1.0°F) lower than a temperaure measurement taken orally.
The best method to determine your own normal temperature is to use the thermometer when you are feeling well. Record your reading twice a day (early morning and late afternoon).
Take the average of the two temperatures. This is considered your normal body temperature. Any variation from it
may indicate some sort of illness and you should consult your physician.
BEFORE USE
Your Vicks Digital Plus Thermometer is a 3-in-1 thermometer for oral, rectal, or underarm use. Whichever method is used, it is recommended that for
15 minutes prior to use, avoid eating or drinking any liquids, exercising, taking showers or baths or smoking.
PROBE COVERS
Disposable probe covers are provided with your Vicks Digital Plus Thermometer. Place a cover on the probe tip each time the thermometer is used to help prevent the spread of germs.
OPERATING YOUR VICKS DIGITAL PLUS THERMOMETER
1. TURNING THE UNIT ON
a. Turn unit on by pressing the On/Off button (Fig. 1).
b. Wait for unit to get ready.
– A beep will sound and the display will perform a self-test for about 2 seconds (Fig. 2).
– The display will show last measurement for 2 seconds (Fig. 3).
– When the thermometer starts to measure, the display will show "L" if lower than
32 °C (90.0 °F) (Fig. 4).
2. SELECTING A TEMPERATURE LOCATION
Oral Use
• It is suggested to use a probe cover for Oral Use. Discard the probe cover after taking a temperature.
• It is important to place the tip of the thermometer well under the tongue to get a good, accurate reading.
(Fig. 5) Place sensor tip in areas marked with "✓". Keep mouth closed and sit still to help ensure an accurate
measurement.
• When the peak temperature is reached, 10 beep signals will sound and the "°C" sign will stop flashing.
• Turn the thermometer off by pressing the On/Off button. If you forget to turn it off, the thermometer will automatically
turn off after approximately 10 minutes.
• Dispose of used probe cover and wash the thermometer as recommended.
Under-the-arm (Axillary) Use
This method is used for babies and young children.
• Wipe the underarm with a towel.
• Place the probe tip under the arm so the tip is touching the skin and position your arm next to your body (Fig. 6). With a young child,
it is sometimes helpful to hug the child to keep their arm next to their body. This ensures that the room air does not affect the reading.
• When the peak temperature is reached, 10 beep signals will sound and the "°C" sign will stop flashing. The temperature is now
confirmed.
Note: This method produces a temperature up to 0.6°C (1.0°F) lower than a temperature taken orally.
• Turn the thermometer off by pressing the On/Off button. If you forget to turn it off, the thermometer will automatically turn
off after approximately 10 minutes.
• Wash the thermometer as recommended.
Rectal Use
Commonly used for babies, young children, or when it is difficult to take an oral or underarm temperature.
Cover the thermometer's tip with a probe cover and lubricate with a water-soluble jelly for easier insertion. DO NOT use
•
a petroleum jelly. Read the label of the lubricant to be sure you are using the right kind.
• Lay the individual on his/her side. If the individual is an infant, the proper position for a baby is to lay on its stomach with
legs hanging down, either across your knees or at the edge of a bed or changing table. This positions the infant's rectum
for safe and easy insertion of the thermometer.
• Gently insert the tip of the thermometer NO MORE THAN 1/2 inch into the rectum. If you detect resistance, stop. Hold the
thermometer in place during measurement.
• When the peak temperature is reached 10 beep signals will sound and the "°C" sign will stop flashing. The temperature is
now confirmed.
Note: This method produces a temperature up to 0.6°C (1.0°F) higher than a temperature taken orally.
• Turn the thermometer off by pressing the On/Off button. If you forget to turn it off, the thermometer will automatically turn off after approximately 10 minutes.
• Dispose of used probe cover and wash the thermometer as recommended.
3. FEVER SIGNAL
The Fever Signal feature alerts you of temperature readings above 37.5°C (99.5°F) with a special tone and a flashing display that lasts for about 10 seconds.
4. TURNING THE UNIT OFF
Turn the thermometer off by pressing the On/Off button. If you forget to turn it off, the thermometer will automatically turn off after approximately 10 minutes.
5. CHANGING TEMPERATURE SCALE FROM °C TO °F OR °F TO °C
With power off, press and hold the power button for about 5 seconds until "L" (Fig. 4) appears in the screen. Release and press the power button to switch
from the current scale to the alternate scale and release. After about 3 seconds the unit is ready to take a reading (°C or °F symbol starts flashing).
6. TO RECALL THE LAST TEMPERATURE
When the thermometer is turned on, the display will show a test, after which the last measured temperature will be shown for approximately 2 seconds on the LCD display.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
•
In order to avoid contamination we recommend cleaning the thermometer after every use by washing with soap and warm water or rubbing alcohol
