INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE  
Please read carefully before using  
2. Disinfect the probe with isopropyl alcohol. See instructions below to place the probe in an appropriate  
L2214-INS-LAB-RevD10  
position (oral, axillary, or rectal).  
Features  
3. Once the degree sign (°F or °C) has stopped flashing, usually within 15-30 seconds, the correct tem-  
perature is shown. The temperature showing will not change after the °F (°C) has stopped flashing.  
1. Fast oral temperature measurement in approximately 10 seconds.  
2. Very sensitive unit; best for quick oral and rectal measurement.  
3. Easy to read digital LCD (Liquid Crystal Display).  
4. Flexible soft tip fits naturally under tongue or under arm. Won’t poke or hurt. Flexible probe conforms  
to different mouths.  
4. The thermometer will automatically turn off in approximately 9 minutes. However, to prolong battery  
life, it is best to turn the thermometer off by pressing the ON/OFF button once the temperature has  
been noted.  
Special Features  
Normal Temperature Alarm: When the peak temperature has registered and is ready to read, an alarm will  
sound. The “Normal Temperature” alarm (10 beeps) will sound for approximately 8 seconds.  
5. Compact, accurate and durable LSI (Large Scale Integration) unit.  
6. If the thermometer is inadvertently left on after temperature stabilization, it will automatically shut off in  
Fever Alarm: When the peak temperature has registered higher than 99.5°F (37.5°C), the fever alarm  
(approximately 10 seconds of quick beeps) will sound.  
about 10 minutes.  
7. Small, lightweight unit. Universal use for the whole family.  
8. Less hazardous than mercury glass thermometers.  
9. Low battery indicator: when the symbol “ ” appears, the battery needs to be replaced.  
10.This unit is waterproof.  
Automatic Last Temperature Recall: When the ON/OFF button is pressed to activate the thermometer,  
display 188.8 will change to show the last measured temperature value, then return to “ready to measure”  
mode.  
Fahrenheit and Celsius Switchable: The Fahrenheit or Celsius mode can be switched by pressing the  
ON/OFF button within the first 5 seconds.  
Parts Description  
Note: Always disinfect the thermometer before use.  
Note: In Step 2, if the room temperature is greater than 90.0°F (32.0°C), it will be displayed rather than  
Lo°F (°C).  
Note: In Step 3, you may put a sanitary plastic probe shield on the sensor tip to help prevent cross  
infection and contamination. Use of the probe cover may result in a 0.2°F (0.1°C) difference from actual  
temperature. Dispose of any used probe shield and store the thermometer in a safe place.  
Reliable Methods to Measure Temperature  
Measuring Body Temperature: Change in body temperature is one of the most important indicators of  
illness. It is important that accurate temperatures be taken. Even though the digital thermometer is used  
in similar manner to the glass thermometer, instructions for use of this thermometer must be followed  
closely, and the person taking the temperature must understand body temperature.  
Body Temperature: A persons’s body temperature is usually several tenths to one full degree lower in  
the morning than in the late afternoon. Therefore, if your temperature in the morning is 97.9°F (36.6°C), it  
could be 98.4°F (36.9°C) or more in the late afternoon and still be normal. To determine what your normal  
body temperature is, you should take your temperature both in the early morning and late afternoon over  
several days. Children have the same normal temperature range as adults. A fever bor both children and  
adults in typically defined as an oral temperature higher than 99.5°F (37.5°C). Exercise, excessive cloth-  
ing, hot bath, hot weather, and warm food and drink can cause mild elevations of up to 100.4°F (38°C)  
in oral temperature. If you suspect one of these to be the cause of an elevated reading, eliminate the  
possible cause and retake the temperature in half an hour.

Memory  
Place the probe well under the patient’s tongue. Instruct the patient to  
keep their mouth closed while the thermometer is measuring. A normal  
oral temperature is usually considered to be between 96.8°F – 98.6°F  
(36.0°C – 37.5°C).

Rectal Use  
If rectal temperature is recommended by your doctor, you may use a probe cover. Insert thermometer  
tip into the probe cover. Lubricate the probe cover with a water soluble jelly for easier insertion. Do not  
use petroleum jelly. Insert tip of probe no more than ½ inch into rectum. Stop if you meet any resistance.  
The sensing device is on the very tip of the probe and there is no need to insert the probe deep into  
the rectum. Rectal temperature is usually approximately 1.0°F – 2.0°F (0.5°C – 1.0°C) higher than oral  
temperature.

Precautions — Care and Maintenance  
1. Do not boil the probe. Clean the thermometer by wiping it with a clean, dry cloth, and disinfect the  
probe with isopropyl alcohol.  
2. Do not drop the thermometer or expose it to heavy shock. The thermometer is not shockproof.  
3. Do not bend or bite the probe.  
Axillary Use (Armpit)  
Wipe armpit with a dry towel. Place probe in the patient’s armpit and keep the patient’s arm pressed firmly  
against their side. Axillary temperature is usually approximately 1.0°F – 2.0°F (0.5°C – 1.0°C) lower than  
oral temperature. Note: In order to achieve better axillary temperature measurement result, a minimum  
measuring time of 3-5 minutes is recommended regardless of the beep sound.  
4. Do not store the thermometer in direct sunlight, high temperature, high humidity, or in a dusty environ-  
ment. Performance may be degraded.  
5. Stop using the thermometer if it operates erratically or if the display malfunctions.  
6. Keep thermometer out of the reach of children and always supervise children during measurement.  
7. Clean the thermometer probe before storing.  
Note: Children should be attended by an adult during the entire temperature recording process. After  
use, the digital thermometer should be stored in a safe place, out of the reach of children. If you compare  
temperatures between two thermometers, it is possible to have two different readings, even if both  
thermometers are within their accuracy tolerances. Differences in how you take each reading and the  
thermometer’s tolerance range can account for nearly 0.2°F (0.1°C) variability.  
8. Do not disassemble the thermometer except to replace the battery.  
9. If the thermometer has been stored at below-freezing temperatures, allow it to warm naturally to room  
temperature before use.  
Remember: Find your normal temperature and watch for changes.  
10.Thermometer performance may be degraded if operated or stored outside recommended temperature  
and humidity ranges shown in Specifications section above, or if the patient’s temperature is below  
ambient (room) temperature.  
Cleaning Instructions  
To clean the thermometer, wash the tip with a solution of mild detergent and cool water. To disinfect the  
thermometer, wipe the sensor and lower stem with a clean cloth dipped in isopropyl alcohol.  
Battery Replacement  
Limited warranty  
1. When the symbol “ ” appears, the battery needs to be replaced.  
2. Pull the battery cover off in the direction shown below.  
3. If necessary, use a pointed object such as a toothpick or insulated  
probe to gently pry the battery cover and battery loose; avoid using  
a sharp metal object for this operation.  
This thermometer is guaranteed against manufacturer’s defects under normal household use for one year  
from the date of purchase. Following the instructions closely will ensure years of dependable operation.  
If the thermometer does not function properly, first check the battery and replace it if necessary (see  
instructions above). Repair Department: 1-800-672-8293.  
4. Place a new 1.55 VDC button-size battery, type 192.LR41 or  
equivalent, in the battery chamber with negative side (–) up and  
positive side (+) down.
