Scope of delivery
• Thermometer
• Operation manual
• 1 x 3 V CR1632 battery
Safety instructions
• The thermometer is intended exclusively to measure human body
temperature.
• The thermometer is designed to only be used at the measurement
points on the human body that are specified in the user manual.
• Check the unit for visible damage before each use. If you detect any
damage, do not use the unit.
• The thermometer is intended for private use.
• Children should not use the device without adult supervision. Medical
products are not toys.
• Children under 12 should not measure their own body temperature
without supervision.
• This thermometer contains small parts that can be swallowed or
present a choking hazard for children. Always keep the thermometer
out of the reach of children!
• Do not open the device, with the exception of the cover on the
battery compartment. No modifications may be made to the device. If
a device does not work correctly, please contact your dealer.
• Keep the battery out of the reach of children as there is a risk of
swallowing.
• The thermometer contains sensitive electronic components. Protect it
against impacts, bending, high temperatures or direct sunlight.
• The minimum measurement time until the sound signal must always
be observed.
• This thermometer is equipped with a flexible measurement tip and
provides more comfort and safety during measurement, especially for
small children as well as sleeping persons and persons with limited
consciousness. The tip should not be bent further than 45°!
• Operation in the vicinity of strong electromagnetic fields, e.g. next to a
mobile phone, may lead to malfunctions.
• In the event of unusual temperature readings, immediately contact
your GP.
• Please note that portable and mobile HF communication equipment
can affect this device. You can obtain more detailed information at the
customer service address specified, or at the end of the user manual.
• If the ambient temperature is over 35°C or 95 °F , dip the thermom-
eter tip in cold water for approx. 5 to 10 seconds prior to measuring
the temperature.
Before first use
To switch the device on, press the -button. You will hear a short signal
tone. Then, the thermometer carries out a self-test. The display indicates all
the segments (Fig. 1) on screen, lit up in green. The last measured value is
then displayed for approximately 2 seconds. The thermometer is ready for
measurement if the display shows 'Lo' and the '°C' or '°F' symbol blinks.
The current temperature is displayed continuously during the measure-
ment, and the '°C' symbol blinks for the entire measuring duration. The
measurement will be completed after about 10 seconds. The measurement
ends as soon as temperature stability is achieved. An acoustic signal is
produced (12 slow beeps), the '°C' symbol stops blinking and the measured
temperature is indicated. The display lights up green while the measured
temperature is displayed.
To prolong the battery service life, switch the thermometer off after use by
pressing and releasing the -button. Otherwise, the thermometer will switch
off automatically 4 minutes later, producing a beeping sound.
You can switch between displaying the temperature in °C or °F. To do this,
press and hold the -button for 2 seconds until ' ' is displayed. Shortly
before °C starts blinking, press the -button again, until you get the desired
measurement unit. After about 3 seconds the thermometer automatically
switches to the measuring mode.

Fever warning
If a body temperature of more than 37.6 °C (99.7 °F) is detected, a fever
warning alarm signal is produced (12 x 3 quick beeps). If temperatures outside
the measuring range are detected, the display indicates 'L' for temperatures
under 32 °C (90 °F) and 'H' for over 42 °C (108.1 °F).
Last measured value display
The last measured value is always displayed during the start-up of the
thermometer, for about 2 seconds indicated
Measured value dispersion
Temperatures can vary depending on measurement points. This is normal and
is caused by uneven distribution of temperature in the human body. Thus,
for example, you can have a temperature of 36.6 °C if measured rectally,
36.1 °C if measured orally, and 35.6 °C if measured axillarily. With multiple
measurements, take 3-minute breaks between them.
Measurement points
Anus (rectal)
This is the most reliable method. It is particularly suited for infants and small
children. The thermometer tip is carefully inserted approx. 2 cm into the
anus. Measuring duration: approx. 10 seconds.
In the mouth cavity (oral)
Small temperature fluctuations from measurement to measurement are normal
in the mouth cavity. They are caused by uneven temperature distribution in
the mouth. Insert the thermometer in one of the two heat pockets under the
tongue, to the left and right of its root. The temperature sensor must have
good contact with the tissue. Close the mouth before measuring for about
1 minute, breathing calmly through the nose. Then insert the measuring tip
of the thermometer in the heat pocket and close the mouth. This way, the
measurement result will not be affected by the air you breathe. Measuring
duration in the mouth cavity: approximately 30 seconds
In the armpit (axillar)
From a medical point of view, this measurement method produces results that
are too imprecise. It is thus not suitable for taking accurate measurements.
The reason is that contact between the temperature sensor and the armpit
is much worse than contact in the case of oral or rectal measurements. This
results in there being no temperature balance between the temperature
sensor and the tissue, which is necessary for a reliable measurement.
Measurement Recommended
methods measuring duration
in the anus until the sound signal
in the mouth cavity until the sound signal
in the armpit min. 5 Min.
Changing the batteries
If the display shows an symbol, the battery is empty and requires a
replacement. Replace the depleted battery with one of the same type. Take
the following steps to do this:
Loosen the screw of the battery compartment using a screwdriver. Remove
the empty battery and insert a new battery (CR 1632). Please take care to
ensure the correct installation position. The + sign on the battery must point
to the display. Then screw the battery compartment lid back onto the housing.
You can find the appropriate batteries in watch or electric appliance stores.
Used batteries should not be disposed of together with normal household
waste. You are legally required to properly dispose of batteries. Dispose of these
at your electric goods store or your local recyclable material collection station.

Notes on handling batteries
• If a battery cell leaks out onto your skin or eyes, wash the affected
area with water and seek medical help.
• If a battery has leaked, put safety gloves on and clean the battery
compartment with a dry cloth.
• Protect batteries from excess heat
Risk of swallowing!
Small children can swallow batteries and choke on them. Keep batteries
away from small children!
Metrological control
As a rule, checking the thermometer's precision is not required. For devices
used in Germany for medical practice, the Medical Products Operator
Ordinance of 29 June 1998 (in the version announced on 21 August 2002,
last amended by Article 4 of the law of 29 July 2009) requires metrological
control after 2 years. Gauging offices provide paid metrological inspections.
Cleaning and disinfection.
• Disinfect the thermometer and the measuring tip with alcohol
(75% isopropyl alcohol). All pharmacies sell alcohol cleaning pads
from various manufacturers, with which you can completely wipe
the device.
• Wipe the thermometer dry with a soft cloth.
• DO NOT BOIL OR WASH IN DISHWASHER. This will negatively affect the
functional capacity of the thermometer and will void the warranty.
• Do not clean the device with chemical thinners and solvents.
Battery compartment
• Store the thermometer in a dry, dust-free, clean place away from
direct sunlight.
Microbial contamination
Because complete disinfection is often not possible in household use, it is
highly recommended to provide an individual thermometer to each patient.
Disposal instructions
Batteries must be disposed of appropriately. Appropriate bins for battery
disposal are available for this purpose at retail shops that sell batteries,
and at communal collection points.
After the end of its service life, please dispose of the device correctly
through a community collection point for waste electrical products.
