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 ERR displays and measurement is not attainable, the unit must be replaced.NOTE: Performance of the device may be degraded if: operated outside ofstated temperature and humidity range; stored outside of stated temperatureand humidity range; thermometer undergoes mechanical shock (drop); patienttemperature is below ambient temperature.Changing the BatteryThe battery in your digital thermometer needs to bereplaced when the “ ” symbol appears in the lowerright of the display. Replace the battery with a 1.5V, AG3alkaline or LR41 silver oxide type or equivalent.To replace the battery,1. Slide the battery cap away from the unit.2. Slide the electrical component that houses the batteryout of the thermometer case approximately a half aninch.3. Remove the protective cap from the battery located onthe back side of the thermometer.4. Using a non-metal pointed tool, carefully remove the battery and insert the newbattery with the negative (–) side facing the back side of the unit.5. Reattach the battery protection cap.6. Carefully slide the electrical component back into the thermometer casing.7. Slide the battery cap back into place, making sure that the cap fits snugly toprotect the battery compartment from moisture.Note: Please properly dispose the battery away from small children and heat.Taking an Oral Temperature1. Using the diagram on the right, placethe probe tip under the tongue as nearas possible to the heat pocket. The dia-gram also shows the temperature vari-ables by not placing the tip in the heatpocket area.Note: Drinking hot or cold fluids, exercis-ing, smoking or performing other activitiesmay raise or lower your temperature.Therefore, it is important to relax forapproximately 5 minutes with your mouthclosed prior to taking a reading2. The current temperature is shown andthe oF will continue to flash during the reading.3. When the peak temperature has been reached, the oF will stop flashing and thethermometer will sound four sets of five quick beeps.4. To turn the unit off, press the POWER button. The unit will automatically shut offafter approximately nine minutes.Note: The mouth must remain closed during the measurement for the most accu-rate reading. Opening the mouth could result in an extended measurement timeand may affect the reading.Cleaning InstructionsBefore and after each use, clean the thermometer with a soft cloth and 70%isopropyl alcohol diluted with water, or wash with COLD soapy water. An intact unitcan be submersed in water or alcohol. However, do not soak for an extended periodof time.1. The unit must never be sterilized by boiling, gas or steam autoclaves.2. The use of any other solution or cleaning method beyond the above mentionedmay result in reliability problems with the thermometer and void your warranty.How to Take Your Temperature1. Clean and disinfect 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.4. Press the POWER button (the unit will beep) to activate the thermometer.This is the LCD display test, which insures all parts of the dis-play are functioning properly. Continue to hold the button downand in approximately 2 seconds the display will show the lastrecorded temperature as follows.This display shows the last temperature reading. Withinapproximately 2 seconds of releasing the button or if noreading is stored in memory, the display will read as follows.This display denotes normal operation.“Err” denotes a malfunction.The Lo with the flashing oF indicates the thermometer is readyto take a temperature reading.PROBE COVER ORDER FORMCUT OUT AND MAIL TO:MABIS HEALTHCARE INC.1931 NORMAN DRIVEWAUKEGAN, IL 60085Please send packages of disposable probe covers#15-618-000 (100 probes per package).

Please read the followinginstructions to achieve the most accurate temperatures and safe operation. Withproper 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 98.6oF, temperaturereadings can vary from 97oF to 99 oF and still may be considered “normal”. Variationsin temperature can be attributed to activities such as exercise, smoking, eating anddrinking. Even time of day may influence your temperature. For example, your tem-perature is lower in the morning than in the afternoon. Other variations may be dueto the location of the temperature reading. While the oral temperature follows theguidelines previously described, a rectal temperature is generally 1.0oF higher.Conversely, an axillary (under the arm) temperature will be 1.0oF lower.Features of your MABIS Digital ThermometerTaking an Axillary Temperature (under the arm)1. Wipe the underarm with a dry towel.2. Place the probe tip under the arm so the tip is touching the skin with the ther-mometer perpendicular to the body.3. 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.4. When the peak temperature has been reached, the oF will stop flashing and thethermometer will sound four sets of five quick beeps.5. To turn the unit off, press the POWER button. The unit will automatically shut offafter approximately nine minutes.Note: Axillary temperatures are generally 1.0oF lower than oral readings.Taking a Rectal TemperatureNote: 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 will stop flashing and thethermometer will sound four sets of five quick beeps.4. To turn the unit off, press the POWER button. The unit will automatically powerdown after approximately nine minutes.Note: Rectal temperatures are generally 1.0oF higher than oral readings.Using Disposable Probe CoversIt is recommended to use the enclosed disposable probe covers to prevent crosscontamination. Additional probe covers can be purchased from your MABIS Dealeror with the order form provided.DIGITAL DISPLAY WINDOW
