READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW UP

This thermometer is intended for the measurement of the human body temperature.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before using, please disinfect the probe first. To switch on press the ON/OFF button next to the display; a short beep will sound, indicating that the thermometer is operational. At the same time the thermometer runs a self-check test, during which all digital segments appear on the LDC display. When the letters "Lo" and a flashing "C" display, the thermometer is ready for use. If the ambient temperature is below 32^ , then "Lo°C" will appear on the LCD display and if the temperature is higher than 42^ then "Hi°C" will appear on the LCD display. During the reading the current temperature is displayed continuously and the "C" symbol flashes. The measurement is completed when a constant temperature value has been reached. The temperature value is considered constant when the temperature rises less than 0,1^ within 16 seconds. As soon as a constant temperature value is reached, a beep will sound 4 times and the "C" symbol will stop flashing. The highest measured temperature appears on the LCD display. Please note however that this thermometer is a maximum thermometer, i.e. the displayed temperature can increase slightly if measurement continues after the beep. This is particularly the case with axillary measurements, the temperature value should be recorded which approximates the core body temperature. In this instance please note the description under "Methods of measuring temperature". When the measurement is completed, please switch off by pressing the ON/OFF button. After the temperature has been displayed the thermometer will shut off automatically after 10 minutes.

MEMORY FUNCTION

Turn on the thermometer, the last measured temperature will display on the LCD display for approximately 2 seconds after the self-check. The reading will be overwritten after the LCD shows "37.0°C", i.e. the thermometer is ready for a next measurement, whether the new measurement is complete or not.

METHODS OF MEASURING TEMPERATURE

It is important to remember that the body temperature reading depends on the site where it is measured. For this reason the measurement site must always be specified in order to ensure that the correct temperature reading is recorded.

IN THE RECTUM (RECTAL)

This is the most accurate method from a medical point of view, because it comes closest to the core body temperature. The thermometer tip is inserted carefully into the rectum for a maximum 2 cm. The usual measuring time is around 40 to 60 seconds.

UNDER THE ARM (AXILLARY)

Placing the thermometer in the armpit provides a measurement of the surface temperature that can fluctuate by around 0,5^ to 1,5^ from rectal temperature readings in adults. The usual measuring time for this method is approximately 80 to 120 seconds. It should be noted that an exact reading won't be obtained if, for example, the armpit temperature is lower than normal (the armpit temperature has been cooled down). If in this case we recommend extending the measurement time by around 5 minutes in order to obtain the most precise possible reading that corresponds as closely as possible to the core body temperature.

IN THE MOUTH (ORAL)

There are different heat zones in the mouth. As a general rule, the oral temperature is 0,3^ to 0,8^ lower than the rectal temperature. To ensure the reading is as accurate as possible, place the thermometer tip to the left or right of the root of the tongue. The thermometer tip must have constant contact with the tissue during the reading and be placed under the tongue in one of the two heat pockets at the back. Keep the mouth closed during the reading and breathe evenly through the nose. Do not eat or drink anything before the measurement. The usual measuring time is approximately 50 to 70 seconds.

Note: We strongly recommend the rectal method as the most accurate method for identifying the basal temperature and advise you to extend the measuring time by 3 minutes after the beep.

CLEANING AND DISINFECTION

The best way to clean the thermometer tip is by applying a disinfectant (e.g. 70% medical alcohol) with a damp cloth. It shall be disinfected before each use.

Waterproof thermometers can be immersed in liquid or lukewarm water for through cleaning and disinfection.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Do not allow the device to come into contact with hot water

• Do not expose to high temperatures or direct sunlight

• Do not drop the thermometer. It is neither shock-proof nor impact-resistant

• Do not modify this device without the authorization of the manufacturer
• Do not bend or open the device except the battery compartment.
• Do not clean with thinners, petrol or benzenel. Only clean with water or disinfectant.
• The thermometer contains small parts - battery, battery compartment - which can be swallowed by children. For this reason do not leave the thermometer unattended in the hands of children.
• If the ambient temperature is over 35^ dip the thermometer in cold water for approx. 5 to 10 seconds prior to measuring the temperature.
  Persistent fever, in particular in children, has to be treated by a doctor - please get in touch with your doctor.
• Do not use near strong electromagnetic fields, i.e. keep it away from any radio systems and mobile phones.

BATTERY COMPARTMENT

The battery is empty and needs replacing when the "battery" symbol appears in the right of the LCD display. Remove the battery cover and replace it with a battery - preferably non-mercury - of the same type. Please note the "+" sigh up, the "-" sign down.

ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY DISPOSAL

The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment – WEEE – requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment.

The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation that when you dispose of the appliance, it must be separately collected. Contact your local authority for information concerning the correct disposal of your old appliance.
