o o
Body temperature can vary from 97 F to 99 F. The generally accepted "normal"
o
temperature is 98.6 F. Usually your temperature is lower in the morning than in
the afternoon. Normal temperature varies according to the location of the
temperature reading. While the oral temperature follows the guidelines
previously described, a rectal temperature is generally 1.0
o
an axillary (under the arm) temperature will be 1.0 F lower.
GENERAL CARE AND USE
The thermometer should be held during use. The patient should be seated or
lying down. TEMPERATURES SHOULD ONLY BE TAKEN UNDER THE
SUPERVISION OF AN ADULT.
You can clean your Digital Thermometer by wiping it with soap and water or 70%
Isopropyl Alcohol. THE UNIT MUST NEVER BE SUBMERSED IN ANY LIQUID OR
STERILIZED IN ANY WAY (GAS OR STEAM AUTOCLAVES). Failure to follow
these instructions will cause severe damage to your unit and void your warranty.
1. The thermometer should only be used under the supervision of an adult.
2. Do not walk, run or talk during temperature taking.
3. Clean the thermometer before and after each use.
4. Store the unit in the protective case when not in use.
5. Do not bite the thermometer tip.
6. Do not store the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, dust or humidity.
Avoid extreme temperatures.
7. Dropping or subjecting your thermometer to strong shocks should be avoided.
8. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit, except to replace the battery.
9. If ERR displays and measurement is not attainable, the unit must be replaced.
NOTE: Performance of the device may be degraded if: operated outside of the stated
termperature and humidity range; stored outside of stated temperature and humidity
range; thermometer undergoes mechanical shock (drop); patient temperature is below
ambient temperature.
OPERATING YOUR DIGITAL THERMOMETER
Press the ON/OFF button to activate the thermometer. The
digital display will show the following and the thermometer will
beep.
This is the LCD display test. This insures all parts of the display
are functioning properly.
By continuing to hold the button down, the last measured
temperature will be displayed until the button is released.
Once the button is relesed or if no reading is stored, an L with a flashing
o
appear in the display followed by a brief flash of 97.7 F followed by an L with a
o
flashing F to indicate that the thermometer is ready for measurement.
o
NOTE: If the room temperature is above 89.6 F, the room temperature will
display instead of the L.
TAKING A ORAL TEMPERATURE
Using the diagram on the right, place the
HEAT
thermometer tip under the tongue as near as
POCKET
possible to the heat pocket. The diagram also
shows the temperature variables by not placing
the tip in the heat pocket area. The temperature
reading should take approximately sixty seconds.
o
The F will continue to flash during the reading of
the temperature. When the peak temperature has
o
been reached, the F will stop flashing and the
thermometer will sound four long beeps if the
o
temperature is below 99.5 F. If the temperature is
o
above 99.5 F the unit will sound four sets of three short beeps each. To turn the
unit off, press the ON/OFF button. The unit will automatically power down after
approximately ten minutes. NOTE: The mouth must remain closed during the
measurement to insure accurate readings.
TAKING AN AXILLARY TEMPERATURE (under the arm)
The thermometer tip should be placed under the arm so the tip is touching the
skin. Hold the thermometer parallel to the body and position the arm on the chest
so the probe tip is well covered by the arm. This insures the thermometer tip is
not affected by the room air. The temperature reading should take
o
approximately sixty seconds. The F will continue to flash during the reading of
the temperature. When the peak temperature has been reached, the
flashing and the thermometer will sound four long beeps if the temperature is below
99.5 o F. If the temperature is above 99.5 o F the unit will sound four sets of three short
beeps each. To turn the unit off, press the ON/OFF button. The unit will
automatically power down after approximately ten minutes. REMEMBER: Axillary
o
temperatures are generally 1.0 F lower than oral readings.
