INTRODUCTION

This Alecto thermometer is a digital thermometer developed to take your temperature as simply and accurately as possible. In order to get the most reliable results, these instructions must be followed accurately. For the most accurate temperature reading, we recommend using the thermometer rectally. Although the generally accepted 'normal' temperature is 37.0^ , body temperature can vary from 36.1^ to 37.2^ .

Fluctuations in temperature can be due to activities such as sports, smoking, eating and drinking, and also depend on the part of the body where the temperature is taken. When measured orally, the body temperature is generally 0.5^ lower than when measured rectally, while a temperature measured under the armpit is 1.0^ lower. Your temperature is lower in the morning than in the evening.

MEASURING YOUR TEMPERATURE

1. Press the ON/OFF key once to activate the thermometer. You will hear a beep and the display will show 188.8^ C for around 2 seconds. If you continue to press the ON/OFF switch for 2 seconds, the last temperature measured will be displayed.
2. The thermometer will now display a temperature of 36.5^ .
3. When you see 'Lo' and °C' in the display, the thermometer is ready for use. If the room temperature is higher than 32.0^ , the room temperature will be shown instead of 'Lo'.
4. Place the thermometer in the chosen body part to measure your temperature.

5. When you hear a beep, your temperature has been recorded.

6. if your body temperature is normal, you will hear 4 beeps

7. if your body temperature is above normal (≥ 37.5^) , you will hear 8 double beeps.

8. Press the ON/OFF key to switch off the thermometer. (The thermometer will switch off automatically after approx. 10 minutes).

Measurement under the tongue:

Place the thermometer under the tongue, as far back as possible to the left or right. Measurement takes approx. 10 to 15 seconds.

A temperature taken under the tongue is approx. 0.5^ C lower than when taken rectally.

Measurement under the arm

Make sure the armpit is dry and place the thermometer under the arm. The sensor must touch the skin.

Keep your arm crossed in front of your chest. The measurement takes approx. 20 seconds.

A temperature taken under the tongue is approx. 1.0^ lower than when taken rectally.

Rectal measurement

Insert the thermometer sensor gently (maximum 1.25 cm). Measurement takes approx. 6 to 10 seconds.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

The battery must be changed when the symbol appears in the display. Battery type: 1.55V, LR41 alkaline or SR41 silver oxide type or similar.

1. Carefully remove the battery cover from the thermometer.

1. Remove the battery protector.
2. Use a pointed (non-metal) object to remove the battery. Insert the new battery with the + side upward.
3. Replace the battery protector.
4. Slide the battery cover back in place.

Do not throw away empty or leftover batteries, but instead hand them in to your local depot for Household Chemical Waste.
