Cleaning InstructionsYou can clean your Digital Thermometer by wiping it with soap and water or70% Isopropyl Alcohol. THE UNIT MUST NEVER BE SUBMERSED IN ANYLIQUID OR STERILIZED IN ANY WAY (GAS OR STEAM AUTOCLAVES).Failure to follow these instructions will cause severe damage to your unit andvoid your warranty.Switching Dual ScaleNOTE: To change between Celcius and Fahrenheit readings, hold the POWERbutton for 2 seconds until the “Lo” with an “m” displays and changes between °F and°C. Press the POWER button again to turn the thermometer off.How to Take Your Temperature1. Clean the thermometer according the instructions provided.2. Apply a disposable probe cover to the clean, dry thermometer.3. Determine whether the measurement site will be oral, rectal or underarm.NOTE: Measurement time may vary based on the selected site.Once the desired temperature is selected, press the POWERbutton (the unit will beep) to activate the thermometer. This is theLCD display test, which insures all parts of the display are func-tioning properly.The last measured temperature with an “m” will appear. If thereis no previous measurement, “Lo” °F(°C) will be displayed.98.6°F(37.0°C) will briefly appearFinally, a “Lo” with a flashing °F(°C) will appear in the display toindicate that the thermometer is ready for measurement.NOTE: If the room temperature is above 89.6°F(32.0°C), the room temperature willdisplay instead of the Lo.General Care1. The thermometer should only be used under the supervision of an adult.2. Do not walk, run or talk during temperature taking.3. Clean the thermometer before and after each use.4. Store the unit in the protective case when not in use.5. Do not bite the probe.6. Do not store the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, dust or humidity.Avoid extreme temperatures.7. Dropping or subjecting your thermometer to strong shocks should be avoided.8. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit, except to replace the battery.9. If measurement is not attainable, the unit must be replaced.NOTE: Performance of the device may be degraded if: operated outside of statedtemperature and humidity range; stored outside of stated temperature and humidityrange; thermometer undergoes mechanical shock (drop); patient temperature isbelow ambient temperature.Changing the BatteryThe battery in your digital thermometer needs to be replaced when the “ ” sym-bol appears. Replace the battery with a LR41 or equivalent.To replace the battery,1. Remove screw and slide the battery cap away from theunit.2. Gently pull the battery tray out until it stops.

Meets ASTM Standard E1112.Taking an Oral TemperatureApproximate measurement time: 20 seconds1. Using the diagram on the right, place theprobe tip under the tongue as near aspossible to the heat pocket. The diagramalso shows the temperature variables bynot placing the tip in the heat pocketarea.NOTE: Drinking hot or cold fluids,exercising, smoking or performing otheractivities may raise or lower yourtemperature. Therefore, it is important torelax for approximately 5 minutes with yourmouth closed prior to taking a reading.2. The current temperature is shown and the °F (°C) will continue to flash during thereading.3. When the peak temperature has been reached, the oF(°C) will stop flash-ing and the thermometer will sound ten long beeps if the temperature isbelow 100 oF(37.8°C). If the temperature is above 100oF(37.8°C) the unitwill sound ten sets of three short beeps each.4. To turn the unit off, press the ON/OFF button. The unit will automatically shut offafter approximately nine minutes.NOTE: The mouth must remain closed during the measurement for the mostaccurate reading. Opening the mouth could result in an extended measurement timeand may affect the reading.PROBE COVER ORDER FORMCUT OUT AND MAIL TO:MABIS HEALTHCARE1931 NORMAN DRIVE SOUTHWAUKEGAN, IL 60085Please send packages of disposable probe covers#15-618-000 (100 probes per package).

Please read the followingdetailed instructions to achieve the most accurate temperatures and safe operation.With proper care and use, your thermometer will provide you with years of reliablereadings.What is a “Normal” Temperature?Although the generally accepted “normal” temperature reading is 98.6°F (37.0°C),temperature readings can vary from 97°F (36.1°C) to 99°F (37.2°C) and still may beconsidered “normal”. Variations in temperature can be attributed to activities such asexercise, smoking, eating and drinking. Even time of day may influence your tem-perature. For example, your temperature is lower in the morning than in the after-noon. Other variations may be due to the location of the temperaturereading. While the oral temperature follows the guidelines previously described, arectal temperature is generally 1.0°F (0.5°C) higher. Conversely, an axillary (underthe arm) temperature will be 1.0°F (0.5°C) lower.Features of your MABIS Digital ThermometerTaking an Axillary Temperature (under the arm)Approximate measurement time: 30 seconds1. Wipe the underarm with a dry towel.2. Place the probe tip under the arm so the tip is touching the skin with thethermometer perpendicular to the body.3. Position the arm across the chest so the probe tip is well covered by the arm. Thisalso insures the probe is not affected by the room’s air.4. When the peak temperature has been reached, the oF(°C) will stop flash-ing and the thermometer will sound ten long beeps if the temperature isbelow 100oF(37.8°C). If the temperature is above 100oF(37.8°C) the unitwill sound ten sets of three short beeps each.5. To turn the unit off, press the ON/OFF button. The unit will automatically shut offafter approximately nine minutes.NOTE: Axillary temperatures are generally 1.0°F (0.5°C) lower than oral readings.Taking a Rectal TemperatureApproximate measurement time: 15 secondsNOTE: Rectal temperatures are an appropriate and reliable method for infants andsmall children. Otherwise, this method should only be used when it is impossible orimpractical to take an oral or axillary temperature.1. After applying the disposable probe cover, apply a water-soluble lubricant tothe tip.2. Gently insert the probe a MAXIMUM of 1/2” into the rectum.3. When the peak temperature has been reached, the oF(°C) will stop flash-ing and the thermometer will sound ten long beeps if the temperature isbelow 100oF(37.8°C). If the temperature is above 100oF(37.8°C) the unitwill sound ten sets of three short beeps each.4. To turn the unit off, press the ON/OFF button. The unit will automatically shut offafter approximately nine minutes.NOTE: Rectal temperatures are generally 1.0°F (0.5°C) higher than oral readings.Using Disposable Probe CoversIt is recommended to use the enclosed disposable probe covers to prevent crosscontamination.
