1. Clean and sterilise the thermometer, see Page 25.

2. Press the On/Off button to switch the thermometer on.

 All indicators appear briefly in the display (self−test).

 The last temperature measured is displayed. The M icon (Memory)

appears on the right−hand side of the display.

 "Lo" then appears in the display and the unit of measurement set

flashes on the right−hand side of the display. The thermometer is ready

to use.

3. Place the measuring tip under the tongue (measuring the body tempera-

ture orally).

The person being checked should only breathe through the

nose for the period of the measurement so that the measured

value is not falsified.

 CAUTION: Do not bend the flexible tip more than 45 degrees!

The thermometer measures the body temperature (duration: ap-

prox. 1 minute). During the measurement, the current measured value

appears in the display. 4 acoustic signals are issued to indicate the

measurement is completed. The unit of measurement no longer flashes

in the display.

If the temperature measured is below 32 °C, no signal tones

are issued. The unit of measurement continues to flash in the

display.

4. Remove the thermometer carefully. Read the temperature measured in

the display.

If the temperature measured is above 42 °C, "Hi" appears in

the display. At the same time, the acoustic fever alert sounds

4 times in succession (a triad). The unit of measurement lights

up continuously.

5. Switch the thermometer off after taking the temperature to save the batte-

ries: Press the On/Off button.

If the device remains unused for 160 seconds it switches off au-

tomatically (automatic shutdown).
