UNDERARM (AXILLARY) USE
1. It is suggested that the user sit quietly with their arm at their side for 5 minutes prior to measurement.
2. Wipe the underarm with a dry towel.
3. Cover the thermometer probe with a probe cover.
4. Place the probe tip under the arm so the tip
is touching the skin (FIGURE 2).
5. Lower the arm so that it is positioned next to the body (FIGURE 3).
6. When the peak temperature is reached the thermometer will alert with
10 long beeps. The temperature measurement is ready to read and will
not change when removed from under the arm.
NOTE: Under the arm temperatures are generally 1°F lower than a
temperature taken orally.
7. If the temperature is greater than or equal to 100°F (37.8°C), the fever alarm will alert with a total of 30 short beeps.
8. Turn the thermometer off by pressing the ON/OFF button. If you forget to turn the thermometer off, it will
automatically shut-off after approximately 10 minutes of non-operation.
9. Dispose of the used probe cover and clean the thermometer as recommended.
RECTAL USE
1. Cover the thermometer probe with a probe cover and lubricate with a water-soluble personal lubricant for easier insertion.
Do not use a petroleum jelly. Read the label of the lubricant you are using to ensure that it is the appropriate kind.
2. Lay the patient on their side. When using on an infant, carefully lay the baby on its stomach with legs hanging
down, either at the edge of a bed or changing table or across your knees. This will position the infant's rectum for
safe and easy insertion.
3. Gently insert the tip of the probe NO MORE THAN
1

resistance. Hold the thermometer in place during measurement.
4. When the peak temperature is reached, the thermometer will alert with 10 long beeps. The temperature
measurement is ready to read and will not change when removed from the rectum.
NOTE: Rectal temperatures are generally 1°F higher than a temperature taken orally.

6. Turn the thermometer off by pressing the ON/OFF button. If you forget to turn the thermometer off, it will
automatically shut-off after approximately 10 minutes of non-operation.
7. Dispose of the used probe cover and clean the thermometer as recommended.

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.
