below ambient temperature.
Changing the Battery
The battery in your digital thermometer needs to be replaced when the “
t
” symbol
appears in the lower right of the display. Replace the battery with a 1.55V, LR41
alkaline or SR41 silver oxide type or equivalent.

battery and insert the new battery with the positive
(+) side facing the display side of the unit.
3. Carefully 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
Approximate measurement time:
6
0 seconds
1
. Using the diagram on the right, place
t
he probe tip under the tongue as near
a
s possible to the heat pocket. The
d
iagram also shows the temperature
variables by not placing the tip in the
heat pocket area.
Note: Drinking hot or cold fluids,
exercising, 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 ten quick beeps.
4. To turn the unit off, press the ON/OFF button. The unit will automatically shut off
after approximately ten 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 area that extends about 2” from the tip of the
thermometer with a soft cloth and ispropyl alcohol diluted with water, or wash with
COLD soapy water.
NOTE:
1. The use of any other solution or cleaning method beyond the above mentioned

Deluxe “Jumbo Display”
Digital Thermometer
with Beeper and Memory
Thank you for purchasing a MABIS Digital Thermometer. Please read the following
i
nstructions to achieve the most accurate temperatures and safe operation. With
p
roper 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, tempera-
ture 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 exam-
ple, your temperature is lower in the morning than in the afternoon. Other varia-
tions may be due to the location of the temperature reading. While the oral temper-
ature 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)
Approximate measurement time: 5 minutes or longer
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 ten quick beeps.
5. To turn the unit off, press the ON/OFF button. The unit will automatically shut off
after approximately ten minutes.
Note: Axillary temperatures are generally 1.0
o
F lower than oral readings.
Taking a Rectal Temperature
Approximate measurement time: 60 seconds
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 ten quick beeps.
4. To turn the unit off, press the ON/OFF button. The unit will automatically power
down after approximately ten 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.
