MULTITHERMO 30 - Thermometer TERRAILLON - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL MULTITHERMO 30 TERRAILLON

We thank you for buying Terraillon's electronic infrared thermometer and hope you will find it most useful. In order that it should give you entire satisfaction, we recommend you read its instruction leaflet carefully.

Multithermo 30's infrared probe measures the temperature produced by the tympanum-eardrum (this mirrors the temperature of the nerve centre located in the brain which regulates body temperature) or the temperature given off by the forehead. It is both precise and quick to use, recording 512 readings per second and displaying the highest reading within just one second. It is also practical and hygienic to use as its washable probe does not necessitate a protective nozzle. It is easy to use as it automatically changes from forehead to ear-reading mode simply by removing its protective cap. It boasts an easy-to-read large-figure liquid crystal display screen.

PLEASE READ BEFORE USING

Important remarks

1. Temperatures vary depending on the part of the body that is measured. For this reason it is important not to compare results of readings taken in different areas: mouth, underarm, rectum, ear or forehead.
2. Temperatures also vary from one person to another, according to age and the time of the day.

Advice

Take your temperature when you are feeling well. This reading can then be used as a reference with which to compare your temperature when you are feeling unwell. You'll be able to tell whether your temperature is abnormally high or abnormally low. If in doubt, do not hesitate to consult a doctor.

DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT

WHEN USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

BATTERY SUPPLY

This appliance is sold with one 3V (CR2032) battery, which is already in the battery compartment. The appliance is therefore ready for use. A strip of plastic, which extends outside the battery compartment serves to stop polarities coming into contact with each other. To put the appliance into working mode, pull out this disposable plastic strip.

With its protective cap in place, the appliance is in forehead-reading mode. By removing the protective cap the appliance automatically changes to ear-reading mode.

1. Forehead reading

The cap should be in position on the probe nozzle.

• Press the temperature reading button "⑤". All screen data will display on screen (fig. 1), followed by last temperature reading (fig. 2).
• After the beep sound, press temperature
  reading button and maintain pressure. - Place the probe on your temple.
• Slide the probe across your forehead to the other temple.
• Release pressure on button to stop temperature taking. You'll hear a beep and your temperature will come up on the screen (fig. 3).
• This forehead reading is identical to what it would have been had you had taken your temperature orally.

Forehead temperature may be affected by external climatic conditions. If in doubt, do not hesitate to take your ear temperature.

2. Ear reading

Remove the protective cap. The appliance automatically changes to ear-reading mode.

• Press the temperature reading button " All screen data will display on screen (fig. 1) followed by last temperature reading (fig. 2).
• When the beep sounds to let you know the appliance is ready (fig. 3), press temperature-reading button and maintain pressure. (fig. 4)
• Insert the probe into the ear canal and wait for the beep to indicate end of temperature reading.
• Release pressure on button.
• Remove appliance from ear canal. Your temperature will display on screen.

Important: in order to obtain a precise reading, make sure you position the probe correctly in the ear canal so that the probe is able to record heat produced by the tympanum (eardrum). It may help to pull your ear and turn the probe slightly inside the ear canal. (When using on children under the age of 1 year, gently pull the ear backwards. When using on older children or adults, pull the ear upwards and backwards at the same time.)

CHANGING

• Replace the cover. The appliance is ready for use. (Do not throw away worn batteries. Dispose of them in specially adapted containers so that they may be collected and recycled.)

MEANING OF SYMBOLS

Temperature reading underway

Forehead-temperature reading mode

Temperature above 50^

Temperature below 10^

C Degree Celsius

This symbol appears when the battery is worn. You may still use the appliance but as soon as "Lo" is displayed on the screen you need to change the battery as this means the appliance is no longer able to work properly.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN USING

1. Taking your temperature is merely a means of controlling your state of health. It does not give you the right to make a diagnosis or to prescribe treatment. Unusual readings should always be passed on to a doctor. Never alter the dosage of medicine prescribed by a doctor.
2. Do not crush, drop or break the thermometer.
3. Keep out of reach of children.
4. Do not expose the thermometer to direct sunlight or store close to a source of heat. Store in a dry, clean area.
5. Do not place the thermometer in water or any other type of liquid as only the probe part is waterproof.
6. Multithermo 30 may only be used to take ear or forehead temperature. Do not use to take temperature via rectum, mouth or underarm.
7. Do not touch the tip of the probe with fingers.
8. Do not take temperature less than 30 minutes after eating, exercising or bathing.
9. Take temperature at one-minute intervals. Two successive readings may give slightly different readings. In this case, the average of both temperatures should be taken into account.
