2. For your safety
• This device is only to be used for measuring human body tem-
perature through oral, rectal or axillary measuring method.
Do not attempt to take temperatures at other sites, such as in
the ear, as it may result in false readings and may lead to
injury.
• Before each measurement check intactness of tip and display.
Use the device only when intact.
• Unauthorised repairs, modifications or changes to the pro-
duct are prohibited.
• Operation in strong electromagnetic fields, such as next to a
mobile phone, can lead to malfunction. Keep a minimum dis-
tance of 3.3 m from such devices when using this device.
• The minimum measurement time until the beep must be
maintained without exception.
• Consider that different measurement locations may require
continued measuring even after the beep, see section «Mea-
suring methods / Normal body temperature».
• Do not attempt rectal measurements on persons with rectal
disorders. Doing so may aggravate or worsen the disorder.
• WARNING: The measurement result given by this device is not
a diagnosis! Do not rely on the measurement result only. Dis-
cuss the measured values with your doctor.

4. Use
• Disinfect the tip before each use!
• Press the ON/OFF button.
• When the device is switched on, a beep sounds and all seg-
ments are briefly displayed.
• The last measured temperature appears briefly on the dis-
play. The device performs a self-test and 37.0 °C is displayed.
Then °C flashes and Lo appears (if the room temperature is
below 32 °C). The device is now ready for use.
• The measured maximum temperature is permanently shown
during the measurement and °C flashes.
• If the maximum temperature remains stable (change < 0,1°C
in 16 seconds), °C stops flashing and an alarm will sound for
10 seconds:
a) Normal alarm (beep ... beep ... beep ...), body temperature
below 37.8 °C
b) Fever alarm (beep beep beep ...), body temperature 37.8
°C or above
• Hi °C will be displayed, when the measured temperature is
higher than 42.9 °C.

4.1 Measuring methods / Normal body temperature
In the mouth (oral) / 35.5 - 37.5 °C
• Do not eat or drink anything hot or cold 10 minutes before the
measurement. The mouth should remain closed for 2 minutes
before starting a reading.
Position the thermometer in one of the two pockets under the
tongue, to the left or right of the root of the tongue. The
measuring sensor must be in good contact with the tissue.
Close your mouth and breathe evenly through the nose to pre-
vent the measurement from being influenced by inhaled/
exhaled air.
Approx. measuring time: 1 minute
In the anus (rectal) / 36.6 - 38.0 °C
• Carefully insert the measuring sensor 2 to 3 cm into the anal
aperture.
You may consider using a lubricant. If you are unsure of this
measurement method, you should consult a professional for
guidance/training.
Approx. measuring time: 1 minute
In the armpit (axillary) / 34.7 - 37.3 °C
• To receive more reliable results, we recommend measuring
temperature orally or rectally. A minimum measurement time
of 5 minutes is recommended regardless of the beep sound for
axillary measurement.
5. Cleaning and disinfecting
• For disinfection in home use environment, use a 70% Iso-
propyl alcohol swab or a cotton tissue moistened with 70%
Isopropyl alcohol to wipe surface pollutants off the ther-
mometer probe. (Note: Observe the application and safety
instructions of the disinfectant manufacturer). Always start
wiping from the end of the thermometer probe (approx. at
the middle of the thermometer) towards the thermometer
tip.
• Contact your retailer for further details concerning suitable
disinfectants for your thermometer model.
5.1 Battery replacement
