NOTE: Performance of the device may be degraded if: operated outside of
stated temperature and humidity range; stored outside of stated temperature
and humidity range; thermometer undergoes mechanical shock (drop); patient
temperature is below ambient temperature.
Changing the Battery
The battery in your digital thermometer needs to be
replaced when the “ ” symbol appears in the lower
right of the display. Replace the battery with a 1.5V, AG3
alkaline 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 battery
out of the thermometer case approximately a half an
inch.
3. Remove the protective cap from the battery located on
the back side of the thermometer.
4. Using a non-metal pointed tool, carefully remove the battery and insert the new
battery 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 to
protect the battery compartment from moisture.
Note: Please properly dispose the battery away from small children and heat.
Taking an Oral Temperature
1.
Using the diagram on the right, place
the probe tip under the tongue as near
as possib
le to the heat pocket. The dia-
g
ram also shows the temperature vari-
ab
les by not placing the tip in the heat
poc
ket area.
Note: Drinking hot or cold fluids, exercis-
ing, smoking or performing other activities
may raise or lower your temperature.
Therefore, it is important to relax for
approximately 5 minutes with your mouth
closed prior to taking a reading
2. The current temperature is shown and
the
o
F will continue to flash during the reading.
3. When the peak temperature has been reached, the
o
F will stop flashing and the
thermometer will sound four sets of five quick beeps.
4. To turn the unit off, press the POWER button. The unit will automatically shut off
after 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 time
and may affect the reading.
Cleaning Instructions
Before 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 unit
can be submersed in water or alcohol. However, do not soak for an extended period
of 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 mentioned
may result in reliability problems with the thermometer and void your warranty.
How to Take Your Temperature
1. 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 down
and in approximately 2 seconds the display will show the last
recorded temperature as follows.
This display shows the last temperature reading. Within
approximately 2 seconds of releasing the button or if no
reading is stored in memory, the display will read as follows.
This display denotes normal operation.
“Err” denotes a malfunction.
The Lo with the flashing
o
F indicates the ther
mometer is ready

WATERPROOF
Digital Thermometer
Thank y
ou for purchasing a MABIS Digital Thermometer. Please read the following
instr
uctions to achieve the most accurate temperatures and safe operation. With
proper care and use
, your thermometer will provide you with years of reliable
readings.
What is a “Normal” Temperature?
Although the generally accepted “normal” temperature reading is 98.6
o
F, temperature
readings can vary from 97
o
F to 99
o
F and still may be considered “normal”. Variations
in temperature can be attributed to activities such as exercise, smoking, eating and
drinking. 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 due
to the location of the temperature reading. While the oral temperature follows the
guidelines previously described, a rectal temperature is generally 1.0
o
F higher.
Conversely, an axillary (under the arm) temperature will be 1.0
o
F lower.
Features of your MABIS Digital Thermometer
Taking 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
o
F will stop flashing and the
thermometer will sound four sets of five quick beeps.
5. To turn the unit off, press the POWER button. The unit will automatically shut off
after approximately nine minutes.
Note: Axillary temperatures are generally 1.0
o
F lower than oral readings.
Taking a Rectal Temperature
Note: Rectal temperatures are an appropriate and reliable method for infants and
small children. Otherwise, this method should only be used when it is impossible or
impractical to take an oral or axillary temperature.
1. After applying the disposable probe cover, apply a water-soluble lubricant to
the tip.
2. Gently insert the probe a MAXIMUM of 1/2” into the rectum.
3. When the peak temperature has been reached, the
o
F will stop flashing and the
thermometer will sound four sets of five quick beeps.
4. To turn the unit off, press the POWER button. The unit will automatically power
down after approximately nine minutes.
Note: Rectal temperatures are generally 1.0
o
F higher than oral readings.
Using Disposable Probe Covers
It is recommended to use the enclosed disposable probe covers to prevent cross
contamination.
Additional probe covers can be purchased from your MABIS Dealer
or with the order form provided.

I just took my temperature but what is actually considered a 'healthy' body temperature? Verified
This partially depends on the body part where the temperature was taken. The following can be considered healthy: Forehead 35,8 to 37,6 °C, Ear 36 to 37,8°C, rectally 36,3 to 37,8°C and orally 36 to 37,4°C.
This was helpful (952) Read moreWhat parts of the body are best to measure body temperature? Verified
This depends on the thermometer. Some thermometers are designed for use on specific parts of the body. With a regular thermometer, rectal usage is the fastest and most accurate way to measure body temperature.
