For Rectal Measurement
The thermometer is ready
to use when the body part
symbol is flashing.
Lubricate the tip of the thermometer with a
water-soluble jelly for easier insertion.
Press the Mode button until you see the
rectal measurement icon. Once the icon is
showing, allow the thermometer to stay idle
for 8 seconds before taking a measurement.
Gently slide the tip no more than 3/4 inch
(19 mm) into the rectum. DO NOT push
thermometer past the over-insertion marker.
Hold the thermometer in place for
5 seconds. After approximately 5 seconds
you will hear five short beeps, indicating the
measurement is complete. If you want to use
the thermometer in another mode after using
it rectally, be sure to clean it very thoroughly
with isopropyl alcohol.
NOTE: If you detect any resistance when
inserting the thermometer, stop immediately.
