HOW TO USE THE THERMOMETER
1. Press the on/off button; all symbols show on the LCD display for a few seconds as a means of checking that
the thermometer is functioning correctly.
2. The following display Ok indicates readiness after the internal self-test. If the display shows Err , a malfunction has occurred. Start again. If the error message is still shown after repeatedly turning the thermometer on
and off, the thermometer is broken and has to be disposed off.
3. Position the sensor tip in the preferred place of measurement – mouth, rectum or armpit (see Measuring
Methods).
4. Measuring starts with a flashing “°C” on the display. Lo is shown as long as the temperature stays below
32°C.
5. The currently measured temperature is shown as long as the “°C” is flashing.
6. As soon as the “°C” stops flashing, the maximum temperature has been measured and the signalling tone
sounds for approx. 5 seconds.
7. Should the measured maximum temperature fall below 32°C or exceed 43.9°C, either Lo- or Hi is shown on
the display.
8. To prolong the life of the battery, please switch off the thermometer after use. If the power is left on, the
thermometer will automatically shut down after 8 minutes 40 seconds to save power.
9. To safe the last measurement to the thermometer‘s memory simply press the on/off button for more than
1.5 seconds. The last measured temperature will be displayed with the “M” in the lower right-hand corner.
For example 37,0.
