For accurate temperature measurement.

Directions for use
1. Switch 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 is displayed for 2 seconds. Then the age symbols and age categories 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 age category symbols stop scrolling; 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 adulthood
After selecting the age, the age category symbol remains lit. The display shows three bars.
The thermometer is ready for measurement.
3. Perform the measurement by holding the thermometer at the chosen measurement site. As soon as the thermometer detects a temperature rise in measurement mode, the device starts measuring. If the thermometer does not measure a temperature rise, the age symbol and the three bars are displayed until the thermometer automatically switches itself off. After the measurement (generally 8 seconds after detecting the temperature rise), a confirmation beep indicates that an accurate temperature measurement has taken place: 1 long beep for a normal temperature, 10 short beeps for a temperature rise and a high temperature. The result is displayed on the display. Use the color-coded display to interpret the measured value, which interprets the temperature based on medical guidelines and the patient's age.

Use under the armpit
This method is used for babies and small children.
1. Rub the armpit dry 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
With a small child, it is sometimes useful to hold the child against you, so that his/her arm remains next to the body. This prevents the room temperature from affecting the measurement value.
3. When the peak temperature is reached, beeping signals sound. The temperature is now confirmed. When the thermometer is removed from the measurement site, the corresponding color is displayed.
4. Switch off the thermometer and clean it as described below.

Oral use
This method is suitable for children who are old enough to hold the thermometer safely in their mouth.
1. It is important that you place the tip of the thermometer properly under the tongue, either left or right, to obtain a good, accurate value. Place the sensor tip on one of the places 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 sound. The temperature is now confirmed. When the thermometer is removed from the measurement site, the corresponding color is displayed.
3. Switch off the thermometer and clean it as described below.

Rectal use
Often used for babies and small children, or when measuring in the mouth or under the armpit is difficult.
1. Apply a little water-soluble lubricant to the tip of the thermometer to make it easier to insert. Do not use Vaseline. Read the lubricant label to make sure you are using the correct type.
2. Lay the patient on his/her side. The correct position for babies is lying on their stomach, with their legs hanging down. You can lay the baby over your knees, on the edge of a bed, or on a changing table. In this position, the thermometer can be placed safely and easily in the rectum.
3. Carefully insert the tip of the thermometer MAXIMALLY 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 sound. The temperature is now confirmed. When the thermometer is removed from the measurement site, the corresponding color is displayed.
5. Switch off the thermometer and clean it as described below.
