1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• The thermometer is suitable exclusively for measurement of the body tem­perature!

• The minimum measurement time until the signaling tone [beep] must be
maintained without exception!

• The thermometer contains small parts (battery, etc.) that can be swallowed
by children. Keep the thermometer out of the reach of children.

• Damage may occur if the thermometer is dropped or by striking on a hard
surface.

• Avoid ambient temperatures above 55°C. NEVER boil the thermometer!

• Use only the commercial disinfectants listed in the section «cleaning and
disinfecting» to clean the thermometer. The thermometer must be intact
when immersed in liquid disinfectant.

• Warning: The thermometer contains a long-life battery.
The ( ) symbol in the right bottom corner shows on the dis­play to indicate the battery needs to be changed. Open the batte­ry compartment
cross tip screw by turning counter clockwise and remove the battery.
Replace the used battery with a new one paying attention to the “+” sym­bol on the battery which must be exposed when positioned. For disposal,
please comply with local regulations for special waste.

• OMRON recommends that the accuracy is verified every two years by
OMRON’s representative.

• Do not carry out repairs of any kind yourself. If a defect occurs, consult the
OMRON distributor or Customer Services as mentioned on the packaging.

• Remove the battery when the thermometer will not be used for 3 months
or more.

2. SWITCHING ON

Press the on/off button ➌. A short beep-signal sounds, the device is on.
All symbols show on the LCD display ➋for a few seconds as a means of
checking that the thermometer is functioning correctly. If available the last
correctly measured temperature is displayed indicated by the “M” symbol.
After this the device is ready for measurement indicated by a flashing “°C”
symbol and a flahing “L” at an ambient temperature of less than 32°C.

2a. For changing between Fahrenheit and Celsius indication: Keep the on/off
button ➌pressed for approximately 4 seconds after switching on the unit.

3. HOW TO USE THE THERMOMETER

Position the sensor-tip ➊in the preferred place of measurement – mouth,
rectum or armpit.

In the mouth (oral)

Position the thermometer under the tongue. The measuring sensor must be
in good contact with the tissue. Close your mouth and breath evenly through
the nose to prevent the measurement from being influenced by
inhaled/exhaled air. Approx. measuring time: 1 - 1.5 minute.
Normal temperature between 35.7 °C and 37.3 °C.

In the anus (rectal)

This is the most reliable measuring method, and is especially appropriate for
infants and small children. Carefully insert the tip of the thermometer 2 to 3
cm into the anal aperture. Approx. measuring time 1 minute.
Normal temperature between 36.2 °C and 37.7 °C.

In the armpit (axillary)

From a medical viewpoint, this method will always provide inaccurate rea­dings, and should not be used if precise measurements are required.
Approx. measuring time: 1.5 - 2 minutes.
Normal temperature between 35.2 °C and 36.7 °C.

If the signaling tone (beep-beep-beep-beep) sounds 4 times and the «°C» is
no longer flashing, this means that the measurement is finished and that the
thermometer is ready for reading.

Warning! To prolong the life of the battery, turn it off after use by pressing
the operating button briefly. Otherwise the thermometer will automatically
turn off after about 10 minutes.

4. CLEANING AND DISINFECTING

OMRON recommends to wipe the device with damp cloth. For disinfection,
70% Ethanol or Isopropyl alcohol can be used. Do not attempt to disinfect
the sensing section of the thermometer by immersing in alcohol or in hot
water (water over 50°C).
Do not submerge deeper than 15 cm and longer than 30 minutes.

The tip of the thermometer contains Nickel.
