How to Use: Use this thermometer on a clean, dry forehead. Wipe away any perspiration and move any hair away from the temporal area. 1. Press and release the multifunction button. The display will flash and you’ll hear a single audible beep (Figure 1). The previous result will display for 2 seconds (Figure 2) then disappear. 2.

LO: If the measured temperature is below 95°F (35°C) the device will beep and display LO. Remedy: Turn the unit off, wait 1 minute, and then turn on again. Retake temperature using proper technique. If still reads LO, this indicates that the patient has a low body temperature. NOTE: This is not a device malfunction. Er.1: If the thermometer is too cold or too hot to operate, the device will beep 5 times and display Er.1. Remedy: Verify room temperature is within product range 60.8°F-104°F (16° C - 40° C).
Cleaning and Disinfecting: • Wipe the tip and probe with a cotton swab moistened with 70% isopropyl alcohol before and after each use. After cleaning, wait at least 2 minutes before taking a measurement for the unit to re-adjust to room temperature. • Use only a soft dry cloth to clean the body of the thermometer (if necessary). Never use an abrasive cleanser or submerge the thermometer in water or other liquids.
