Congratulations on your purchase of this product.
Please read the instructions carefully before using
the thermometer for the first time, and keep these
instructions in a safe place. This product is intended
for the measurement of human body temperature.

Operating Instructions

Before using, please disinfect the probe. (See Cleaning and disinfection
below.) To switch on, 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 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°C
or 107.6°F, then "Hi°C" or "Hi°F" will appear on the LCD. During the
reading, the current temperature is displayed continuously and the
"°C" or "°F" symbol flashes. The measurement is completed when a
constant temperature value has been reached. The temperature value is
considered constant when the temperature rises less than 0.1 C within 4
seconds. As soon as the constant temperature value is reached, a beep
will sound four times, and the "°C" or "°F"symbol will stop flashing. The
highest temperature measured appears on the LCD. However, please
note that this thermometer is a maximum thermometer, i.e. the displayed
temperature can increase slightly if measurement continues after the
beep. This is particularly the case with axillary (armpit) measurements,
should a temperature value be recorded which approximates the core
body temperature. In this instance please note the description under
"Methods of measuring temperature". When the measurement is
completed, switch the thermometer off by pressing the ON/OFF button.
After the temperature has been displayed, the thermometer will shut off
automatically after 10 minutes.

Memory function

Switch the thermometer off, then press the ON/OFF button for about
2 seconds. The last measured value with "°C" or "°F" will appear
automatically on the LCD. This display is visible as long as the ON/
OFF button is held down. The reading is only over-written when a new
temperature value is recorded.

Methods of measuring temperature

It is important to remember that the body temperature reading depends
on the site where it is measured. For this reason, the measurement site
must always be specified in order to ensure that a correct temperature
reading is recorded.
In the rectum (rectal)
This 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 into the rectum for a maximum of 2 cm. The usual
measuring time is approximately 9 to 11 seconds.
Under the arm (axillary)
Placing the thermometer in the armpit provides a measurement of
surface temperature that can fluctuate by around 0.5°C to 1.5°C from
rectal temperature readings in adults. The usual measuring time for
this method is approximately 23 to 29 seconds. It should be noted,
however, that an exact reading cannot be obtained if, for example, the
armpits have been allowed to cool. If this is the case, we recommend
extending the measuring time by around 5 minutes in order to obtain
the most precise possible reading that corresponds as closely as
possible to the core body temperature.
In the mouth (oral)
There are different heat zones in the mouth. As a general rule, the oral
temperature is 0.3°C to 0.8°C lower than the rectal temperature. To
ensure that reading is as accurate as possible, place the thermometer
tip to the left or right of the root of the tongue. The thermometer tip must
have constant contact with the tissue during the reading and be placed
under the tongue in one of the two heat pocket at the back. Keep
the mouth closed during the reading and breathe evenly through the
nose. Do not eat or drink anything before the measurement. The usual
measuring time is approximately 15 to 19 seconds.
Note: Rectal testing is the most precise method for identifying the basal
temperature. For most accurate results, you can extend the measuring
time by 3 minutes after the beep.

Cleaning and disinfection

The best way to clean the thermometer tip is by applying a disinfectant
(e.g. 70% ethyl alcohol) with a damp cloth. This waterproof
thermometer can be immersed in liquid or lukewarm water for thorough
cleaning and disinfection.
