Setting the Security Feature

In the Biotech Mode, you will need to step through the various Biotech
functions until you reach the functions that apply to the security modes.
To step through the Biotech functions, press and hold the Mode button for
approximately 2 seconds until the function number changes and a double
beep is heard. The function number of the currently displayed function is
displayed in the lower right hand corner of the display.
Once the Biotech function number has been changed, release the Mode
button.
Once the desired function number is reached, press and immediately release
the Mode button to toggle the settings within the function.
The security-related functions are as follows:
• Function 5: Temperature Count Security Feature
The displayed number indicates the
number of temperatures that can be
taken before the unit goes into security
alarm mode and must be returned to the
security wall holder. The counts are 0,
25, 50, 100 and 200 and appear
sequentially. If the count is set to "0", the
temperature count function is disabled or
turned off and no security alarm will
occur regardless of the number of temperatures taken. This function is
independent of function 6 which is the instant-on security feature.
• Function 6: Instant-On Security Feature
With this function set to ON, the
thermometer immediately goes into
security alarm when removed from the
security wall holder. The options here
are on and off. In the "OFF" setting, the
unit will not alarm when removed from
the wall holder.
Once the security functions have been set
to the desired state, replace the probe back into the probe holder to exit the
Biotech mode.

OPERATION
1. Withdraw the probe from the storage chan-
nel and observe a thermometer display
test followed by an audible tone and a
display of the probe type OrL = Oral,
ALy=Axillary, or rEC = Rectal.
2. Load a probe cover onto the probe. Hold
probe handle collar with thumb and fore-
finger, being careful not to hold or press
the "ejection" button. Press the collar
down firmly to secure the cover.
TAKING ORAL TEMPERATURES - BLUE CAPPED PROBE
The ability of the 678 SureTemp to take an accurate oral temperature in about
4 seconds requires correct user technique.
1. With OrL showing on the display, insert the
probe tip gently into the patient's slightly
opened mouth. Quickly slide the probe
under the tongue on either side of the mouth
to reach the sublingual pocket. Have the
patient close his/her lips around the probe.
2. Hold the probe in place, keeping the tip in
contact with tissue during the entire tem-
perature measurement process. Holding
the probe still will ensure a fast and
accurate measurement.
