2. For your safety
• The unit is suitable exclusively for measuring human body temperature. The product should only be used as
described within this instruction.
• Before each measurement check intactness of tip and display. Use the unit only when intact.
• Unauthorised repairs, modifications or changes to the product are prohibited.
• Operation in strong electromagnetic fields, such as next to a mobile phone, can lead to malfunction. Keep a
minimum distance of 3.3 m from such devices when using this device.
• The minimum measurement time until the beep must be maintained without exception.
• Discuss the measured values with your doctor.
Caution!
Risk of injury:
• The instrument contains small parts that could be swallowed by children. Keep this instrument and the battery
out of reach of children. Use under parental supervision.
• Batteries contain harmful acids and may be hazardous if swallowed. If a battery is swallowed, this can lead to
serious internal burns and death within two hours. If you suspect a battery could have been swallowed or other-
wise caught in the body, seek medical help immediately.
• Batteries must not be thrown into a fire, short-circuited, taken apart or recharged. Risk of explosion!
• Low batteries should be changed as soon as possible to prevent damage caused by leaking.

3. Elements and buttons
A: Battery compartment
C: Display for the temperature
4. Use
• Disinfect the tip before each use!
• Press and hold the ON/OFF button for 3 seconds.
• When the unit is switched on, a beep sounds and all segments are briefly displayed. The device performs a self-
test.
• The last measured temperature (M) appears briefly on the display, then 36,5 °C.
• If you press the ON/OFF button only briefly when switching on, the last measured temperature (M) will not
appear.
• L remains on the display and °C flashes. If the room temperature is higher than 32 ˚C, the room temperature
would be displayed instead of L ˚C. The device is now ready for use.
• If the temperature remains below 32 °C, °C flashes for another 16 seconds, then the alarm signal sounds.
• The actually measured maximum temperature is permanently shown during the measurement and °C flashes.
• If the maximum temperature remains stable, °C stops flashing and an alarm will sound:
a) Normal alarm (beep ... beep ... beep ...), body temperature below 37.8 °C
b) Fever alarm (beep piep beep ... beep beep beep ...), body temperature 37.8 °C or above
• For axillary measurements, the recommended measuring time has to be observed despite the beep tone.
• Remove the thermometer carefully. Press the ON/OFF button to switch off the instrument. The instrument will
turn off automatically after approx. 9 minutes.
4.1 Measurement methods
Rectal measurement:
• This is the safest method of measurement. It is especially good for babies and infants. Gently insert the ther-
mometer tip 2-3 cm into the anus. Minimum measuring time: 1 minute.
Oral measurement:
• Oral measurement is not recommended for children younger than 2 years of age. Place the temperature tip in
one of the two pockets under the tongue, left or right at the root of the tongue. Close your mouth during the
measurement and breathe calmly. This will prevent the measurement results from being falsified by breathing
air. The measured temperature is on average 0.3 to 0.8 degrees C lower than the rectally measured temperature.
Minimum measuring time: 1 min.
Axillary measurement (under the armpit):
• From the medical point of view this method always provides inaccurate values. A deviation from the rectal
measurement of 0.5 to 1.5 degrees C must be expected. Minimum measuring time: 5 min.
5. Care and maintenance
• Clean the instrument before and after each use with a soft damp cloth. For disinfection please use water-diluted
isopropyl alcohol according to the manufacturer's instructions. Any other cleansing substances or cleansing
method can cause dysfunction or damage to the instrument. Do not immerse in water or sterilize by boiling
method, gas or steam autoclaves.
• Remove the battery if you do not use the product for a long period of time.
• Keep the instrument in its case in a dry place.
5.1 Battery replacement
• Change the battery when the display starts to fade or the battery symbol appears on the display.
• Remove the battery cover by pulling it backwards.
