HOW TO USE
To ensure an accurate temperature reading, avoid eating, drinking any liquids, exercising, bathing or
smoking for 15 minutes before taking a measurement.
1. Disinfect the thermometer probe with ethyl (rubbing) alcohol. Place a probe cover over the tip of the
thermometer. Press the on/off button. The display will show (or ) followed by . If
appears instead, the thermometer has malfunctioned and must be repaired or replaced.
2. The display will now read (or ) with a blinking ºF (or ºC) and the unit is now ready for
measurement. Place the probe in the desired measurement location (oral, under arm, rectal).
3. Once the ºF (or ºC) has stopped blinking, the peak temperature has been reached and a beeper will
sound for approx. 4 seconds.
4. After reading the measurement, turn the thermometer off, dispose of the used probe cover and clean
the thermometer. If the thermometer is accidentally left on, it will automatically shut off after 10 minutes.
5. Children should always be supervised by an adult during the measurement process. After use, the
thermometer should be stored in a safe place, out of the reach of children.
NOTE: If the measured temperature is higher or lower than the thermometer’s measuring range, the
display will read (or ) or (or ).
NOTE: Using a probe cover may result in a 0.2ºF (0.1ºC) difference from actual temperature.

RELIABLE METHODS TO MEASURE TEMPERATURE
ORAL USE (approx. 10-20 seconds)
Place the probe tip well under the tongue. The mouth should remain closed during measurement to
ensure an accurate temperature reading. Do not bend or bite the probe while it is in the mouth. A normal
temperature by this method is 98.6ºF (37ºC).
UNDER ARM USE (approx. 15-25 seconds)
Wipe the armpit with a dry towel. Place the probe tip under the armpit and keep the arm firmly pressed
against the body during measurement to ensure an accurate temperature reading. A normal temperature
by this method is 97.6ºF (36.7ºC).
RECTAL USE (approx. 10-15 seconds)
If your doctor recommends a rectal temperature, place a probe cover over the tip of the thermometer and
lubricate the probe with a water-soluble jelly for easier insertion. Do not use petroleum jelly. Gently insert
the tip of the probe NO MORE than 1/2 inch into the rectum. STOP if you meet any resistance. Hold the
thermometer in place during measurement to ensure an accurate temperature reading. A normal
temperature by this method is 99.6ºF (37.6ºC).
REMEMBER: Temperature readings vary from person to person and thermometer to thermometer. Find
your normal temperature and watch for changes. If you compare readings between two thermometers, it is
possible to have two different readings even if both thermometers are within their accuracy ranges.
