TEMPERATURE READINGS

Temperature readings vary from person to person. Although there is no one “normal” temperature reading, a

temperature, taken orally, ranging between 97°F and 100°F is considered normal. A rectal temperature is generally

1° higher and an underarm (axillary) temperature will be 1° lower.

The best method to determine your own normal temperature is to use the thermometer when you are feeling well.

Record your reading twice a day (early morning and late afternoon). Take the average of the two temperatures.

This is considered your normal body temperature. Any variation from it may indicate some sort of illness

and you should consult your physician.

BEFORE USE

Your VICKS

SpeedRead

Digital Thermometer is a 3-in-1 thermometer

for oral, rectal, or underarm use. Whichever method is used, it is

recommended that for 15 minutes prior to use, avoid eating or drinking

any liquids, exercising, taking showers or baths or smoking.

PROBE COVERS

Disposable probe covers are provided with your VICKS

SpeedRead

Digital Thermometer. Place a cover on the

probe tip each time the thermometer is used to help prevent spread of germs. Additional probe covers can be

purchased at most drug stores or pharmacy departments.

OPERATING YOUR VICKS

SPEED-READ

DIGITAL

THERMOMETER

1. Turn unit on by pressing the On/Off button (Fig. 1).

2. Wait for unit to get ready

– A beep will sound and the display will show a test (Fig. 2).

– After about 5 seconds, the display will show it's ready (Fig. 3).

ORAL USE

1. It is suggested to use a probe cover for Oral Use. Discard the probe cover after taking

a temperature.

2. It is important to place the tip of the thermometer well under the tongue to get a good,

accurate reading. (Fig. 4) Place sensor tip in areas marked with “✓”. Keep mouth

closed and sit still to help ensure an accurate measurement.

3. When the peak temperature is reached (usually 12 seconds), 10 beep signals will

sound and the “°F” sign will stop flashing. The temperature is now ready to read and

will not change when the thermometer is removed.

4. Turn the thermometer off by pressing the On/Off button. If you forget to turn it off,

the thermometer will automatically turn off after approximately 10 minutes.

5. Dispose of used probe cover and wash the thermometer as recommended.

UNDER-THE-ARM (AXILLARY) USE

This method is used for babies and young children.

1. Wipe the underarm with a towel.

2. Place the probe tip under the arm so the tip is touching the skin and position

your arm next to your body (Fig. 5). With a young child, it is sometimes

helpful to hug the child to keep their arm next to their body. This ensures that

the room air does not affect the reading.

3. When the peak temperature is reached (usually 11 seconds but sometimes longer for this method), 10 beep

signals will sound and the “°F” sign will stop flashing. The temperature is now ready to read and will not change

when the thermometer is removed.

Note: This method produces a temperature 1° lower than a temperature taken orally.

4. Turn the thermometer off by pressing the On/Off button. If you forget to turn it off, the thermometer will

automatically turn off after approximately 10 minutes.

5. Wash the thermometer as recommended.

What parts of the body are best to measure body temperature? Verified
