Operating instructions
Before using, disinfect the probe. Press the ON/OFF button
next to the display; a short beep will sound, indicating that
the thermometer is operational. At the same
time, the thermometer runs a self-check test,
during which all the digital segments
(as Fig A) will appear on the LCD. When the letters "Lo" and a
flashing "°C" or "°F" display, the thermometer is now ready
for use. If the ambient temperature is below 32°C or 89.6°F,
then "Lo °C" or "Lo °F" will appear on the LCD, and if it is
more than 42.9°C or 109.2°F, then "HI °C" or "HI °F" will
appear on the LCD. During the reading, the current t
emperature is displayed continuously, and the "°C" or "°F"
symbol flashes. The reading is complete when a constant
temperature value is reached. The temperature value is
considered constant when the temperature rises less than
0.1°C within 8 seconds. When the constant temperature
value is reached, a beep will sound ten times, and the "°C"
or "°F" symbol will stop flashing. The measured
temperature appears on the LCD. Note that this thermometer
is a maximum thermometer, i.e., the displayed temperature
can increase slightly if measurement continues after the
beep. After the temperature is displayed, thethermometer
will shut off after 10 minutes.

Memory function
After turning on the thermometer, the last measured
temperature will display on the LCD for approximately 2
seconds after the self-check. Then the thermometer is ready
for measurement.
Method of measuring temperature
Rectal temperature is the most accurate method from a
medical point of view because it comes closest to the core
body temperature. The thermometer tip is inserted carefully
0197
into the rectum to a maximum depth of 2 cm. The usual
measuring time is approximately 40 to 60 seconds.
How to change the measuring scale:
To switch the display between C and F, turn the
unit off. Once off, press and hold the "ON/OFF"
button until the LCD shows as Fig B, then release the button.
Press the button to choose the unit, and the chosen unit will
flash. The thermometer will shut down automatically in five
seconds.
Cleaning and disinfecting
The best way to clean the thermometer tip is by applying a
disinfectant (i.e. 70% medical alcohol) with a damp cloth.
Disinfect the thermometer before each use. This
thermometer is guaranteed waterproof and can be immersed
in liquid or lukewarm water for thorough cleaning and
disinfecting.
Safety precautions
• Do not allow the device to come into contact with hot
water.
• Do not expose to high temperatures or direct sunlight.
• Do not drop the thermometer. It is neither shock-proof nor
impact-resistant.
• Do not modify this device without the authorization of the
manufacturer.
• Do not bend or open the device (except the battery
compartment).
• Do not clean with thinners, petrol or benzene
— only clean with water or disinfectant.
• Do not immerse the waterproof thermometers under water
15cm for longer than 30 minutes.
• The thermometer contains small parts (battery, battery
compartment) that can be swallowed by children. For this
reason, do not leave the thermometer unattended in the
hands of children.
• Avoid bending the Non-Flexible thermometer tip.
• If the ambient temperature is over 35°C or 95°F, dip the
thermometer tip in cold water for approximately 5 to 10
seconds before measuring the temperature.
• Do not use near strong electromagnetic fields.
