GB Solar clinical thermometer SC 1480
Special features
The SC 1480 is a maximum thermometer, i.e. the highest temperature is displayed on a large LC display
after only 10 seconds. The most recent measured value is always saved. If the temperature registers
higher than 37,5°C the fever alarm will sound. No battery needed, the device is solar-powered.
Safety information
• The SC 1480 is suitable only for measuring human body temperatures.
• The thermometer is not a toy. Please keep the thermometer out of the reach of small children.
• Protect the SC 1480 from temperatures above 50°C.
• Never drop the SC 1480 or open it.
Operating manual
Press the I/O button to switch on. A short signal tone shows that the device is in the "switched on"
condition. A segment test takes place simultaneously (checks all display segments and carries out an
internal function test (see under "Function test")). After this, if the temperature measured by the
temperature sensor is less than 32°C, the display shows an "L" and "°C". After around one second, the
"°C" starts to blink. The „L" stands for low (less than 32°C).
The current temperature is continuously displayed during measurement, and the "°C" blinks during the
entire measurement time. The measurement is completed after around 10 seconds.
After the measurement is completed, the temperature value measured remains in the display until the
SC 1480 is switched off. To turn the device off after use, press the I/O button briefly. The signal tone will
again be sounded. If the device is not switched off, a signal tone is sounded after around 3 minutes and
the device then switches off automatically.
Function test
The thermometer is checked for correct functioning automatically every time it is switched on. All
segments are displayed, and then L°C. If a failure (measurement inaccuracy) is recognised, "ERR"
(Error) is shown in the display.
Fever alarm
If the temperature measured is 37.5°C or higher, a fever alarm is sounded (short double beeps for about
4 seconds). Four long beeps indicate that measurement is completed and the temperature is below
37.5°C.
Display of last measured value:
If you keep the I/O button pressed for longer than three seconds, the last measured value will be shown
in the display. As soon as you release the I/O button, the device is ready to take measurements.
Measured value deviation
The measured temperatures will always deviate, depending on the measurement location. This is
normal, and caused by deviations in temperature distribution on the human body. You could, for
example, measure a rectal temperature of 36.6°C, an oral temperature of 36.1°C and an underarm value
of 35.6°C.
Measurement locations
In the mouth (oral)
Small temperature variations in the mouth between measurements
are normal. These are caused by varying temperature distribution
within the mouth. Try to place the thermometer in one of the two heat
pockets under the tongue, to the left and right of the tongue root. The
measurement sensor must have good contact with the
tissue. The subject should close the mouth and breathe normally
through the nose so that the measured result is not affected by
breathed air.
Measuring period: approx. 10 seconds
In the anus (rectal)
This is the safest method. It is particularly suitable for infants and small children. Guide the thermometer
point carefully max. 2 cm into the anus. Measuring period: approx. 10 seconds
Under the arm (axillary)
From a medical viewpoint this type of measurement leads to inaccurate values. It is therefore unsuitable
for carrying out exact measurements.
How to charge the battery
As soon as the symbol appears in the LC display, please charge the battery. Please expose the back
of the device to a light source of 500 - 600 lux for about one hour (corresponds to a standard LED light
source with 806 lumens with a beam angle of 120° and a distance of 40 cm from the solar clinical
thermometer). After this time the battery has reached a capacity for approx. 40 measurements.
Measurement checks
Checking the accuracy of the thermometer is not necessary in most cases. If you require a measurement
check (at your expense), please send the thermometer to our customer service address. Please make
sure it is well-packaged and that the correct postage stamps are applied.
Cleaning and disinfection
Please only use an alcohol pad. Alcohol pads can be purchased from any dispensing chemist. We
recommend the use of Mucocit-F2000 or HelipurHplus to disinfect the thermometer when it is being
used in medical facilities. Both are effective against all hospital-typical pathogens and can be purchased
from any dispensing chemist.
Microbial contamination
Because a hundred percent disinfection is not possible under conditions at home, it is urgently
recommended that every patient should use their own fever thermometer.
Guarantee
We give a guarantee period of 2 years from the date of purchase. We guarantee perfect design of this
article. We will rectify all material or manufacturing errors during the guarantee period. If, contrary to
expectations, defects are found, please send the device back to our customer service department.
Please enclose the proof of purchase and a description of the defect so that the problem can be rectified
as soon as possible. The guarantee excludes damages caused by improper handling.
Disposal notes
Defect devices or devices which are taken out of operation at the end of their service life may
still contain residues which could present a risk to the environment. Please dispose of the
device in a suitable and correct way at a collection point for old electrical items.
