IMPORTANT! Read user manual earlier using the thermometer.

QUICK Start

1. Install batteries into the thermometer. Make sure the polarity is right (run across section 2).

two. Press and release the blue ON/OFF button. Unit of measurement will beep once. Look until it beeps again twice and °F appears in the brandish (see section 3).

3. Place and concord the thermometer probe firmly to the skin at the temple and await several seconds for the device to beep in one case more (see section 3).

four. Read the temperature on the display (see section three).

Full general Warnings:

1. Measurement body location is the temple, in proximity to the temporal artery, between the heart socket and the hairline.

two. Do not place the thermometer on scarred tissue compromised by skin disorder, open sores or abrasions and patients in trauma.

three. Consult your physician when using drug therapies that may raise the local skin temperature in the forehead; this may lead to incorrect reading.

iv. Exercise not place the thermometer on pare exposed to direct sunlight, fireplace heat, air conditioner flow and cold/warm compress therapies.

5. Keep the thermometer out of reach of unsupervised children.

six. Do not drop the thermometer or expose to heavy shock. The unit is not shock proof.

The thermometer is designed to mensurate with precision the temperature in the forehead, in proximity to the temporal artery, between the eye socket and the hairline. Information technology is of import to know that the thermal characteristics of each measurement body location – temporal, axillary, oral or rectal - are unique. The variance in temperature measurement in different torso locations is due to the human torso and not the thermometer.

The thermometer readings are equivalent to oral measurements.

Of import:

" It isrecommended that yous measure the body temperature of each individual when healthy to establish a "normal"temperature.

" Due to the unique torso physiology of each person, it is recommended that you have a persons temperature at the same temple locationin comparative measurements.

two. Installing andReplacingthe Batteries:

1. Nigh Trunk Temperature Measurement:

How does the thermometer work?

Your ReliOn® Digital Temple Thermometer accurately measures body heat using Rapid, Accurate, State of the Art Technology. Sensorquickly tracks the heat flow generated from blood vesselsto the skins surface

and converts measurement to torso temperature.

Data about Body Temperature

What is "normal" body temperature?

"Normal" body temperature varies from person to person and changes according to fourth dimension of solar day and body location. Hot or cold baths, physical exercise, smoking and drinking, hot or cold drinks may modify body temperature past one degree or more.

The following table shows the Temperature ranges:

	What is fever?	Averagenormal temperature ranges
Forehead	Over 100.0°F / 37.viii°C	97.0°F - 100.0°F	/	36.1°C – 37.8°C

Rectal*	Over 100.4°F / 38°C	97.iii°F - 100.iv°F		/ 36.iii°C – 38°C

Oral (mouth)*	Over 100.0°F / 37.8°C	97.0°F - 100.0°F	/	36.one°C – 37.8°C

Axilla (armpit)*	Over 99.0°F / 37.2°C	95.iv°F - 99.0°F	/	35.2°C – 37.2°C

beep. All segments will be displayed.

(i) One "Beep"

2. The result of the last temperature measurement will be displayed for 2 seconds*.

iii. Wait for the hourglass icon to disappear,
so two beeps will be heard to indicate that	(2)
the thermometer is now "gear up to mensurate".

4. Take a measurement co-ordinate to the post-obit guidelines:

Taking Temperature:

a. Make sure temporal surface area is dry and make clean.

b.	Remove hair from the temporal area.
c.	Place the thermometer probe in the center of the temporal area
	betwixt the eye socket and the hairline. Gently printing it against
	the temple to ensure adept contact with the pare is maintained.

Two "Beeps"

Indication 1: The thermometer is likewise cold or likewise hot to operate.

Pedagogy: Verify room temperature is within product

range 60.8°F to 104.0°F (16°C to twoscore°C). Retake temperature using proper technique (encounter section 3).

Indication two: Temperature did not register because of poor contact, patient movement or poor placement.

Didactics: Turn the unit of measurement OFF, await two minutes, plow it ON over again and retake temperature using proper technique (see section 3).

Indication 3: Unit of measurement malfunctioned.

Education: Do non employ the thermometer – contact distributor for instructions (see section seven).

Depression Batteries Indication: Bombardment icon is on continuously. Teaching: The batteries have enough remaining life for approximately thirty more measurements.

Drained Batteries Indication: Displays OFF with battery icon flashing when thermometer is turned on and the device automatically turns itself OFF afterward 15 seconds.

Instruction: The batteries are drained - supplant batteries (see section 2).

IMPORTANT:

" Make clean the thermometer after each use (come across section 4).

" In order to ensure accurate measurement,please wait at least two minutes betwixt consecutive measurements for the unit to readjust to room temperature.

" If the thermometer is not turned off, it will close off automatically within 1 minute.

" Once the thermometer is "set to measure out", it will shut off automatically afterward one infinitesimal if it has not fabricated skilful contact or maintained adept contact with the patient's peel.

" Considering the thermometer is a very sensitive device, the patient and thermometer should exist in the aforementioned room temperature (approx. 60.eight~104.0 ? ) for at least 20 minutes before using to avoid whatsoever incorrect measurements.

4. Care and Cleaning:

* Wipe the tip and probe with an alcohol swab or cotton swab moistened with lxx% isopropyl booze before & afterward each use. * Later on cleaning, wait at least 2

minutes before taking a measurement for the unit to readjust to room temperature.

* Use only a soft dry cloth to clean the trunk of the thermometer (if necessary).

* Never utilize an annoying cleanser or submergethe thermometer in water or other liquids.

* Do not expose the thermometer to farthermost temperatures, humidity, direct sunlight or shock. Store at room temperature.

5. Troubleshooting and Special Indications:

The thermometer has been designed to brandish feedback/warnings to ensure proper usage and accurate temperature measurement. When an error or indication appears, 1 "beep" signal will be heard once every second for 5 seconds and so the thermometer will turn off automatically. In the event of a malfunction or incorrect temperature measurement, the following warnings will be displayed:

Indication: The measured temperature is below 95°F (35°C) Brandish will read LO.

Didactics: Turn the unit OFF to wait at to the lowest degree 2 minutes then ON again. Retake temperature using

proper technique (see section 3).

Indication: The measured temperature is above 107.six°F (42°C). Display will read Hi.

Teaching: Turn the unit OFF to look at least ii minutes

so ON again. To verify the reading, retake temperature using proper technique

(see section iii).
