TEMPERATURE READINGS

This pacifier is for oral use only. Oral temperature readings are often approximately 1°F lower than actual
body temperature readings (Rectal Readings) and 1°F higher than axillary (under the arm) readings.

Temperature readings vary from child to child. Although there is no singular ‘normal’ temperature reading,
a temperature taken orally ranging between 97°F and 100°F is considered normal. Your child’s physician
should be consulted to determine what temperature range the physician considers to be normal.

The best method to determine your child’s normal temperature is to use the thermometer when the child
is feeling well. Record readings twice a day (early morning and late afternoon). Take the average of the
two temperatures to calculate a normal body temperature.

OPERATING YOUR VICKS PACIFIER THERMOMETER:

1.

Press the power button. The display will read (188.8

2. If you hold the on/off button down, the unit will display the last temperature reading.

3. Release the power button and the display will show L°F with °F flashing. When the temperature

reading reaches 89.6° or more, the display will show an actual temperature.

5. Once the degree sign (°F) on the display has stopped flashing (approx. 3 minutes), the alarm will
sound, meaning the temperature is ready to read. This reading reflects the oral temperature
of the child.

6. It is recommended that the thermometer be left in the child’s mouth for 6-8 minutes to allow the
nipple to warm up and to obtain a more accurate reading. This is required if the child does not
pacify without interruption.

7. The unit will automatically turn off in 10 minutes. However, to prolong battery life, press the power
button to turn the unit off once the temperature has been taken.

8. Repeat this procedure as necessary if pacifying is interrupted during use.

TO RECALL THE LAST TEMPERATURE:

1.

Press and hold the power button while turning on the unit. The last measured temperature will be
shown in the LCD display with the letter “M” shown under the degree sign in approximately
3 seconds.

2. Release the power button. The thermometer will be in “ready-to-measure” mode and the recalled
temperature will be erased. Note: If the device is switched off before completion of temperature
taking, L°F will appear in memory the next time the unit is used.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS:

1.

Clean the pacifier thermometer by wiping it with soap and warm water or rubbing alcohol
(70% isopropyl alcohol).

2. Wipe dry with soft cloth.

3. Do not boil or clean in a dishwasher. This will cause the thermometer to no longer function and will

void the warranty.
