Replacing The Battery; Safety Instructions - miniland thermokit Bedienungsanleitung

ENGLISH
3.3.1.2. ARMPIT (AXILLARY USE)
This method used for babies and young children but less accurate and takes longer.
1. Wipe the underarm with a towel.
2. Cover the thermometer's tip with a probe cover. Place the probe tip well under the underarm.
When thermal equilibrium is reached, 10 beep signals will sound and the "°C" sign will stop flash-
ing. The temperature is now ready to read and will not change when the thermometer is removed.
Remember that this method produces a temperature 1°C lower than a temperature taken
orally.
3. To continuously measure temperature 10 minutes and ignore the beep sound will get the tem-
perature close to oral temperature.
3.3.1.3. ANUS (RECTAL USE)
Commonly used for babies, young children, or when it is difficult to take an Oral or Axillary temperature.
It is the measurement method with which a more stable temperature is obtained.
1. Cover the thermometer's tip with a probe cover and lubricate with a water-soluble jelly for easier
insertion. Do not use a petroleum jelly.
2. Gently insert the tip of the thermometer NO MORE THAN 1/2 inch into the rectum. If you detect
resistance, stop. Hold the thermometer in place during measurement.
3. When thermal equilibrium is reached, 10 beep signals will sound and the "°C" sign will stop flash-
ing. The temperature is now ready to read and will not change when the thermometer is removed.
Remember that this method produces a temperature about 0.5~1ºC higher than a temperatu-
re taken orally.
3.4. MAINTENANCE
