An intact unit can be submersed in water oralcohol. However, do not soak for an extended period of time.1. This unit must never be sterilized by boiling, gas or steam autoclaves.2. The use of any other solution or cleaning method beyond the above mentioned may resultin reliability problems with the thermometer and void your warranty.Operating Your Digital ThermometerSwitching Dual ScaleNOTE: To change between Celsius and Fahrenheit readings, hold the POWER but-ton 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.Once the desired temperature is selected, press the POWERbutton to activate the thermometer. The thermometer will beepand the digital display will show the following.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 appear.Finally, a “Lo” with a flashing oF(°C) will appear in the display toindicate that the thermometer is ready for measurement.NOTE: If the room temperature is above 89.6oF(32.0°C), theroom temperature will display instead of the “Lo”.CUT OUT AND MAIL TO:MABIS HEALTHCARE1931 NORMAN DRIVE SOUTHWAUKEGAN, IL 60085 USAPROBE COVER ORDER FORMPlease send packages of disposable probe covers#15-618-000 (100 probes per package).

This insures the thermometer tip is not affectedby the room air. The temperature reading should take approximately sixty seconds.The oF(°C) will continue to flash during the reading of the temperature. When the peaktemperature has been reached, the oF(°C) will stop flashing and the thermometer willsound ten long beeps if the temperature is below 100oF(37.8°C). If the temperature isabove 100oF(37.8°C) the unit will sound ten sets of three short beeps each. To turn theunit off, press the POWER button. The unit will automatically power down after approxi-mately nine minutes.REMEMBER: Axillary temperatures are generally 1.0oF(0.5°C) lower than oral readings.Taking a Rectal TemperatureNNOOTTEE:: Rectal temperatures are an appropriate and reliable method for infants and small chil-dren. Otherwise, this method should only be used when it is impossible or impractical to takean oral or axillary temperature.THE THERMOMETER TIP SHOULD BE INSERTED A MAXIMUM OF 1/2” INTO THERECTUM. The temperature reading should take approximately sixty seconds. TheoF(°C) will continue to flash during the reading of the temperature. When the peaktemperature has been reached, the oF(°C) will stop flashing and the thermometer willsound ten long beeps if the temperature is below 100oF(37.8°C). If the temperature isabove 100oF(37.8°C) the unit will sound ten sets of three short beeps each. To turnthe unit off, press the POWER button. The unit will automatically power down afterapproximately nine minutes.REMEMBER: Rectal temperatures are generally 1.0oF(0.5°C) higher than oral read-ings.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 tip.6. Do not store the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, dust or humidity. Avoidextreme 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 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 humidity range;thermometer undergoes mechanical shock (drop); patient temperature is below ambient tem-perature.Using Disposable Probe CoversIt is recommended to use disposable probe covers to prevent cross contamination. Additionalprobe covers can be purchased from your MABIS Dealer or with the order form provided.Changing the BatteryThe battery in your digital thermometer needs to be replaced when “ ” appears inthe lower right of the display. Replace the battery with anLR41 alkaline or SR41 silver oxide type. To replace the bat-tery, slide the battery cap away from the unit. Remove thebattery using a non-metal tool. Insert the new battery withthe positive (+) side facing up. Carefully slide the batterycap back into place.NOTE: Please properly dispose the battery away from small children and heat.DDUUAALL SSCCAALLEEDDiiggiittaall TThheerrmmoommeetteerrWWIITTHH BBEEEEPPEERR AANNDD MMEEMMOORRYYThank you for purchasing a MABIS Digital Thermometer. Please read the following instructions toachieve the most accurate temperatures and safe operation. With proper care and use, your ther-mometer will provide you with years of reliable readings.NOTE: F - indicates Fahrenheit modeC - indicates Celsius modeWhat is a “Normal” Temperature?Although the generally accepted “normal” temperature reading is 98.6°F/37.0°C, temperaturereadings can vary from 97.0°F/36.1°C to 99.0°F/37.2°C and still may be considered “normal”.Variations in temperature can be attributed to activities such as exercise, smoking, eating anddrinking. Even time of day may influence your temperature. For example, your temperature islower in the morning than in the afternoon. Other variations may be due to the location of thetemperature reading. While the oral temperature follows the guidelines previously described, arectal temperature is generally 1.0°F/0.5°C higher. Conversely, an axillary (under the arm) tem-perature will be 1.0°F/0.5°C lower.Features of Your MABIS Digital ThermometerPROBE TIPDIGITAL DISPLAY WINDOW POWER BUTTONBATTERY COVER MT118-BDVF 03/07 ©2007 MABIS HealthcareNOTE: This order form is for shipments within the United States and Canada.Taking an Oral TemperatureUsing the diagram on the right, place thethermometer tip under the tongue as near aspossible to the heat pocket. The diagram alsoshows the temperature variables by not plac-ing the tip in the heat pocket area. The tem-perature reading should take approximatelysixty seconds. The oF(°C) will continue toflash during the reading of the temperature.When the peak temperature has beenreached, the oF(°C) will stop flashing and thethermometer will sound ten long beeps if thetemperature is below 100oF(37.8°C). If thetemperature is above 100oF(37.8°C) the unitwill sound ten sets of three short beeps each.To turn the unit off, press the POWER button. The unit will automatically power downafter approximately nine minutes.NOTE: Drinking hot or cold fluids, exercising, smoking or performing other activities may raiseor lower your temperature. Therefore, it is important to relax for approximately 5 minuteswith your mouth closed prior to taking a reading.HEATPOCKETHEATPOCKET98.4oF36.9oC 98.4oF36.9oC98.8oF37.1oC98.8oF37.1oC97.9oF36.6oC97.7oF36.4oC97.9oF36.6oC98.1oF36.7oCMT118-BDVF 03/07 ©2007 MABIS HealthcareMT118-BDVF 03/07 ©2007 MABIS HealthcareMT118-BDVF 03/07 ©2007 MABIS HealthcareMODEL 713LIMITED ONE-YEAR WARRANTYMABIS Healthcare (‘MABIS’) guarantees that its MABIS Digital Thermometer will be free frommanufacturing defects under normal use for a period of one year from the date of purchase sub-ject to the following terms and conditions.This warranty covers only normal use, and does not apply to use in any clinical orcommercial applications.
