INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the BébéSounds

Remote Fever Monitor. This Thermometer will enable you to monitor your baby’s fever from another room, 24 hours a day. With the Remote Fever Monitor you will be immediately alerted if your child’s temperature has spiked up.
The Remote Fever Monitor takes your baby’s temperature abdominally. The Thermometer clips to the waistband of your baby’s diaper, pajamas, or the special belt provided. Be sure the sensor is touching the skin and that your baby is wearing clothing that covers the stomach to avoid the loss of body heat. The baby’s temperature is taken every 5 seconds and is transmitted to the portable Parents’ Unit (the receiver) every 10 seconds.
The Parents’ Unit monitors your child’s temper­ature and can be set to alert you if it reaches a certain level. If your child is not feeling well, you will be immediately alerted if his/her tem­perature starts to rise.
This product is recommended for use with children under 8 years old.
Warning: Consult your doctor of there is a pacemaker present. This product is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it. Keep out of children’s reach when not in use. Always use under adult supervision.
Use of the Remote Fever Monitor should not
replace a visit to your doctor. It is recommended
that you advise your doctor any time a
temperature is above 100°F/37.8°C.
NOTE: Rectal temperature readings are more
accurate than abdominal readings. Temperatures
taken abdominally may be .7°~1.4°F (.4°C~.8°C)
lower than rectal readings. For example, if the
Remote Fever Monitor registers an abdominal
temperature of 100°F, your child’s temperature
may actually be 100.7°-101.4°F. This differential
should be considered when monitoring your
child’s temperature.
The Remote Fever Monitor is a Personal Care Product and cannot be returned to the retailer.
All exchange and refund requests should be
directed to the BébéSounds

5. To set the alarm push the power button and the LCD display will flash an alarm setting and read “SET.” The temperature alarm has five settings: 98°, 99°, 100°, 101°, and 102°F/36.7°C, 37.2°C, 37.8°C, 38.3°C, and
38.9°C. To change the alarm setting press the (S) button once for each setting until you

Remember, temperature readings taken abdominally may be .7°~1.4°F (.4°C~.8°C) lower than rectal readings. This differ­ential should be considered when monitoring your child’s tem­perature and when you set the alarm. For example, you may want to set the alarm for 100 if you want to know if your child’s fever reaches 101. (See Note on P. 3)

9. To achieve maximum transmission range, avoid placing the Parents’ Unit on or close to metal articles or electrical appliances.
