Changing Between Fahrenheit (°F) And Celsius (°C); Care And Maintenance - Chicco Comfort QUICK Gebrauchsanleitung

CHANGING BETWEEN
FAHRENHEIT (°F) AND CELSIUS (°C)
To change the reading mode on the
LCD display from °C to °F: switch
the appliance off, press and hold the
"SCAN" button, now press and release
the (ON/MEM) button. When the
'°F' sign appears on the LCD display,
release the "SCAN" button. Use the
same procedure to change the read-
ing mode on the LCD display from
°F to °C.
FEVER ALARM
If the thermometer detects a read-
ing of ≥37.5°C (or 99.5°F) it will emit
an acoustic signal followed by three
short beeps to warn the user that the
patient could have a fever.
SWITCHING OFF THE
THERMOMETER
The appliance switches off automati-
cally if unused for over 1 minute to
preserve battery life, or if the
ton is pressed and held for 5 seconds.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The sensor (shown in the diagram 9)
is the most delicate part of the ther-
mometer.

Handle with great care when clean-
ing the sensor to avoid damaging it
in any way.
a. Store the appliance in a dry place,
away from liquids and direct sun-
light.
b. Use cotton wool or pads soaked in
70% rubbing alcohol to clean the
sensor and the plastic part which
comes into contact with the ear
canal.
c. Use a new probe cap for each read-
ing to avoid any cross contamina-
tion. Clean the sensor if dirty to
ensure accurate readings. Allow the
sensor to dry completely for at least
1 minute.
Important notes:
1. Check that the sensor is clean.
2. before taking someone's tempera-
ture, make sure the person is in the
room for about 5 minutes before
the reading and has not undergone
physical exertion or had a bath
in the last 30 minutes; place the
thermometer in the room at least
20/25 minutes before the reading
so it can adapt to the room tem-
perature.
3. Use a new probe cap for each read-
ing.
4. Use dedicated probe caps only
5. Check that the ear canal is perfectly
clean before taking someone's tem-
perature. Try to avoid cleaning it just
but- before the reading
6. Keep a distance from all sources of
heat when taking temperatures.
7. The first time you use the ther-
mometer, remember to remove the
battery protection tab (see para-
graph "HOW TO INSERT/REPLACE
THE BATTERY")
8. If the thermometer or the probe
get damaged in any manner, the
thermometer could encounter dif-
ficulties whilst taking temperatures:
if the thermometer is dropped or
there is sign of damage, do not use
it again before having it checked
9. Have the calibration checked every
3 years. For further information
