DIGITAL CLINICAL THERMOMETER
Warning:
• Read instructions thoroughly before using digital thermometer.
• Choking Hazard: Thermometer cap and battery may be fatal if swallowed. Do not allow children to use this device
without parental supervision.
• Do not use thermometer in ear. Designed use is for oral, rectal, and armpit (axilla) readings only.
• Do not place thermometer battery near extreme heat as it may explode.
• Note: Use of the probe cover may result in a 0.1°C discrepancy from actual temperature.
• Remove battery from the device when not in operation for a long time.
• The use of temperature readings for self-diagnosis is dangerous. Consult your doctor for the interpretation of
results. Self-diagnosis may lead to the worsening of existing disease conditions.
• Do not attempt measurements when the thermometer is wet as inaccurate readings may result.
• Do not bite the thermometer. Doing so may lead to breakage and/or injury.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the thermometer. Doing so may result in inaccurate readings.
• After each use, disinfect the thermometer especially in case the device is used by more than one person.
• Do not force the thermometer into the rectum. Stop insertion and abort the measurement when pain is present.
• Failure to do so may lead to injury.
• Do not use thermometer orally after being used rectally.
• For children who are two years old or younger, please do not use the devices orally.
• If the unit has been stored at temperatures over 5°C~40°C, leave it in 5°C~40°C ambient temperature for about 15
minutes before using it.

DIRECTIONS
1. Press the On/Off Button next to LCD display. A tone will sound as the screen shows , followed by last
recorded temperature. After showing the self-test temperature, the thermometer is now in the testing mode.
2. Position thermometer in desired location (mouth, rectum, or armpit.)
a) Oral Use: Place thermometer under tongue as indicated by“√” position
shown in Figure 2. Close your mouth and breathe evenly through the nose
to prevent the measurement from being inuenced by inhaled/exhaled air.
Normal temperature between 35.7℃ and 37.3℃.
b) Rectal Use: Lubricate silver probe tip with petroleum jelly for easy insertion.
Gently insert sensor approximately 1cm (less than 1/2 “) into rectum. Normal
temperature between 36.2℃ and 37.7℃.
c) Armpit Use: Wipe armpit dry. Place probe in armpit and keep arm pressed
rmly at side. From a medical viewpoint, this method will always provide
inaccurate readings, and should not be used if precise measurements are
required. Normal temperature between 35.2℃ and 36.7℃.
3. The degree sign ashes throughout the testing process. When ashing stops an alarm will beep for approximately
10 seconds. The measured reading will appear on the LCD simultaneously. The minimum measurement time
until the signaling tone (beep) must be maintained without exception. The measurement continues even after the
buzzer notication. So that in order to achieve better body temperature measurement result, recommend to keep
the probe in mouth and rectum about 2 minutes, or in armpit about 5 minutes regardless of the beep sound and
at least 30 seconds measurement interval should be maintained.
*Note: Normally the buzzes are“ Bi-Bi-Bi- Bi-”; Alarm beeps more rapidly w hen temperature reaches 37.8℃
or higher ,and the buzzes are“ Bi-Bi-Bi----- Bi-Bi-Bi------- Bi-Bi-Bi”
4. To prolong battery life, press the On/Off Button to turn unit off after testing is complete. If no action is taken, the
unit will automatically shut off after around10 minutes.

CALIBRATION
The thermometer is initially calibrated at the time of manufacture. If the thermometer is used according to the use
instruction, periodic readjustment is not required. However, we recommend checking calibration every two years
or whenever clinical accuracy of the thermometer is in question. Turn on the thermometer and insert into the water
bath and then check the laboratory accuracy of thermometer. Please send the complete device to the dealers or
manufacturer.
The above recommendations do not supersede the legal requirements. The user must always comply with legal
requirements for the control of the measurement, functionality, and accuracy of the device which are required by the
scope of relevant laws, directives or ordinances where the device is used.
CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
Wipe the thermometer with a soft clean cloth.
For stubborn stains, wipe the thermometer with a cloth that has been dampened with water or a neutral detergent
solution and then wring thoroughly. Finish by wiping with a soft dry cloth. For disinfection, 70% Ethanol or Isopropyl
alcohol can be used. Observe the following to prevent damage to the thermometer.
- Do not use benzene, thinner, gasoline or other strong solvents to clean the thermometer.
