Changing Between Celsius And Fahrenheit; How To Recall 30 Readings In Memory Mode; Error Messages; Cleaning And Disinfecting - Microlife NC 150 Handbuch

 Doctors recommend rectal measurement for newborn infants
within the first 6 months, as all other measuring methods might
lead to ambiguous results. If using a non contact thermometer
on those infants, we always recommend verifying the readings
with a rectal measurement.
 In the following situations it is recommended that three temper-
atures are taken with the highest one taken as the reading:
1. Children under three years of age with a compromised
immune system and for whom the presence or absence of
fever is critical.
2. When the user is learning how to use the thermometer for
the first time until he/she has familiarized himself/herself with
the device and obtains consistent readings.
3. If the measurement is surprisingly low.
 Readings from different measuring sites should not be
compared as the normal body temperature varies by
measuring site and time of day, being highest in the evening
and lowest about one hour before waking up.
Normal body temperature ranges:
- Axillar: 34.7 - 37.3 °C / 94.5 - 99.1 °F
- Oral: 35.5 - 37.5 °C / 95.9 - 99.5 °F
- Rectal: 36.6 - 38.0 °C / 97.9 - 100.4 °F
- Microlife NC 150: 35.4 - 37.4 °C / 95.7 - 99.3 °F

8. Changing between Celsius and Fahrenheit

This thermometer can display temperature readings in either Fahr-
enheit or Celsius. To switch the display between °C and °F, simply
turn OFF the unit, press and hold the START button 4 for 5
seconds; after 5 seconds, the current measurement scale («°C» or
«°F» icon) will flash on the display AP. Change the measurement
scale between °C and °F by pressing the START button 4. When
the measurement scale has been chosen, wait for 5 seconds and
the unit will automatically enter the «ready for measuring» mode.

9. How to recall 30 readings in Memory Mode

This thermometer can recall the last 30 readings with a record of
both time and date.
 Recall mode AQ: Press the M-button 8 to enter recall mode
when the power is off. The memory icon «M» will flash.
 Reading 1 - the last reading AR: Press and release the M-
button 8 to recall the last reading. Number «1» and a flashing
«M» are displayed.
4
 Reading 30 - readings in succession: Press and release the
M-button 8 consecutively to recall the last 30 readings in
succession.
Pressing and releasing the M-button 8 after the last 30 readings
have been recalled will resume the above sequence from reading 1.

10. Error Messages

 Measured temperature too high AS: Displays «H» when
measured temperature is higher than 43 °C / 109.4 °C in body
mode or 99.9 °C / 211.8 °F in object mode.
 Measured temperature too low BT: Displays «L» when
measured temperature is lower than 34 °C / 93.2 °F in body
mode or 0.1 °C / 32.2 °F in object mode.
 Ambient temperature too high BK: Displays «H» and
when ambient temperature is higher than 40.0 °C / 104.0 °F.
 Ambient temperature too low BL: Displays «L» and
ambient temperature is lower than 15.0 °C / 59.0 °F in body
mode or lower than 5.0 °C / 41.0 °F in object mode.
 Error function display BM: The system has a malfunction.
 Blank display BN: Check if the batteries have been inserted
correctly. Also check polarity (<+> and <->) of the batteries.
 Flat battery indicator BO: If only «» icon is shown on the
