Functions

In-Mouth

The mouth should remain closed for up to 5 minutes before taking a reading. Place the probe well under the tongue. Instruct child not to bite the probe. Measurement time = 8-15 seconds. Under

Armpit

The armpit is not an ideal site to measure body temperature because you’re measuring the surface of the skin and not a closed body cavity. Ensure the armpit is dry. Place the thermometer under the armpit and press arm tightly next to the body. Ensure the sensor is covered under the armpit. We recommend a longer measuring time of 60+ seconds for this method

Cleaning & Maintenance 

How to clean 

• Make sure the sensor is clean to ensure an accurate reading.
• We recommend you clean the sensor before every measurement.
• The thermometer is waterproof and can be wiped clean with water or cleaning lotion.
• We recommend using a 70% alcohol swab or cotton wool moistened with 70% alcohol to gently wipe the probe and sensor clean.
• Do not immerse in boiling water for sterilising.

How to replace the batteries

• If the display becomes blurred or if this symbol appears on the LCD, the battery must be replaced.
• To replace the battery, open the cover using a coin and remove the battery.
• Replace with a new battery (CR2032) then re-insert the cover with the coin, taking care not to damage the waterproof ring.
