For an accurate temperature measurement.

Instructions for use
1. Turn on the thermometer by pressing the on/off button
You will hear a short beep and the display component check will be performed. After the component check, the last measured temperature value will be displayed for 2 seconds. Then, the age symbols and age categories will scroll across the display until the Age Precision™ button is pressed.
2. Select the age by pressing the Age Precision™ button
When the Age Precision™ button is pressed, the symbols for the age categories stop rolling; it stops on the symbol that was displayed at the moment of pressing. Keep pressing the button until the desired age setting is displayed. The thermometer has 3 age settings:
• 0-3 months
• 3-36 months
• 36 months to adult age
After selecting the age, the age category symbol remains illuminated. The display shows three dashes.
The thermometer is ready for measurement.
3. Perform the measurement by holding the thermometer at the chosen measuring site. Once the thermometer detects a temperature rise in measuring mode, the device begins to measure. If the thermometer does not detect a temperature rise, the age symbol and three dashes will be displayed until the thermometer automatically turns off. After the measurement (generally 8 seconds after detecting the temperature rise), a confirmation beep tone indicates that an accurate temperature measurement has taken place: 1 long beep for a normal temperature, 10 short beeps for elevated temperature and a high temperature. The result will be displayed on the screen. Use the color-coded display to interpret the measured value, which interprets the temperature based on the patient's age according to medical guidelines.

Use under the armpit
This method is used for babies and small children.
1. Dry the armpit with a dry towel.
2. Place the probe tip under the arm so that the end makes contact with the skin, and place the patient's arm next to his/her body.
For a small child, it can sometimes be helpful to hold the child against you, so that his/her arm stays next to the body. This prevents room temperature from affecting the measurement.
3. When the peak temperature is reached, beeping signals will sound. The temperature is now confirmed. When the thermometer is removed from the measuring site, the corresponding color will be displayed.
4. Turn off the thermometer and clean it as indicated later.

Oral use
This method is suitable for children who are old enough to safely hold the thermometer in their mouth.
1. It is important to place the tip of the thermometer well under the tongue, either left or right, to obtain a good, accurate value. Place the sensor tip on one of the spots under the tongue marked with “√” (Fig. 2). Keep the patient's mouth closed and have him/her sit still to ensure an accurate measurement.
2. When the peak temperature is reached, beeping signals will sound. The temperature is now confirmed. When the thermometer is removed from the measuring site, the corresponding color will be displayed.
3. Turn off the thermometer and clean it as indicated later.

Rectal use
Often used for babies and small children, or when measuring in the mouth or under the armpit is difficult.
1. Apply a small amount of water-soluble lubricant to the tip of the thermometer to make insertion easier. Do not use petroleum jelly. Read the lubricant label to ensure you are using the correct type.
2. Position the patient on their side. The correct position for babies is lying on their stomach, with their legs hanging down. You can place the baby over your knees, on the edge of a bed, or a changing table. In this position, the thermometer can be safely and easily inserted into the rectum.
3. Gently insert the tip of the thermometer a MAXIMUM of 1.3 cm into the rectum. Stop if you feel resistance. Keep the thermometer in place during the measurement.
4. When the peak temperature is reached, beeping signals will sound. The temperature is now confirmed. When the thermometer is removed from the eating place, the corresponding color will be displayed.
5. Turn off the thermometer and clean it as indicated later.
