3 What you need to know about your bo dy temperature
Although the generally accepted "normal" temperature read ing is 37.0°C, temperature
reading can vary from 36°C to 37.3°C and still may be considered a s "normal".
Your body temperature can be influenced by your activities such as exe rcise, smoking,
eating and drinking.
Even time of day may influence your body temperature. For example, your temperature is
lower in the morning than in the afternoon.
Other variations may be due to the location of the temperature readin g.
While the oral temperature follows the guidelines previously described, a rec tal
temperature is generally 0.5°C higher. Conversely, an auxiliary (under the arm)
temperature will be 0.5°C lower.

6 Measurement
6.1 Important before use
• When the temperature is higher than 38°, means that the patient may have fever.
Contact your doctor .
• It is important to clean your Thermometer before the first time of use and after each
application. Clean your Digital Thermometer by wiping it with soap and water or 70%
isopropyl Alcohol otherwise the result of measurement will be inaccurate.
• The thermometer is calibrated and does not need re-calibration if use d according to
the instructions.
• After a shower or exercise, the body temperature will rise. Please take a rest before
taking temperature.
6.2 T aking an Oral T emperature
Drinking hot or cold fluids, exercising, smoking or
performing other activities may raise or lower your
temperature. Therefore, it is important to relax for
approximately 5 minutes with your mouth closed prior to
taking a reading.
• Place the probe tip under the tongue as near as
possible to the heat pocket. The diagram also shows
the temperature variables by not placing the tip in the
heat pocket area.
• Close the mouth
• Press the ON/OFF button (4) briefly . After all segments have been displayed, the
previous result or ‘Lo’ is displayed for 2 seconds.
• The thermometer starts measurement.
• When the temperature stabilizes at peak temperature, 10 beeps are audible and the
result is displayed.
• If the temperature is above 37.8 C, the unit will sound ten sets of two short beeps.
• Press the ON/OFF button (4) to turn the unit off or the unit will automatically shut off
after approximately ten minutes.
6.3 Axill ary use
• Wipe the underarm with a dry towel.
• Place the probe tip under the arm so the tip is touching the skin with the
thermometer perpendicular to the body .
• Position the arm across the chest so the probe tip is well covered by the arm. This
also insures the probe is not affected by the room's air .
• Press the ON/OFF button (4) briefly . After all segments have been displayed, the
previous result or ‘Lo’ is displayed for 2 seconds.

• Press the ON/OFF button (4) briefly . After all segments have been displayed, the
previous result or ‘Lo’ is displayed for 2 seconds.
• The thermometer starts measurement.
• When the temperature stabilizes at peak temperature, 10 beeps are audible and the

It is suggested that a re ctal used themometer is separated from a axillary
or oral used thermometer because of hygienic reason.
Rectal temperatures are an appropriate and reliable method for infa nts
and small children. Otherwise, this method should only be used when it
is impossible or impractical to take an oral or auxiliary temperature.
This product is in compliance with the essential requireme nts and other
relevant provisi ons of the direct ive 93/42/EEC.
