Multipurpose Thermometer (Model: DT K111B)

1. Before using the thermometer for the first time, please disinfect the probe. 
2. To switch on, press the ON / OFF button next to display; a short beep will sound, indicating that the thermometer is operational.
3. At the same time the thermometer runs a self-check test, during which the symbol “ “ appears on the LCD.
4. When the letters “Lo” and a flashing “°C” or “°F” show on the display, the thermometer is  ready for use. 
5. If the ambient temperature is below 32 °C or 89.6 °F, then “Lo °C” or “Lo °F“ will appear on the LCD. If it is more than 42,9 °C or 109.2 °F, then “Hi °C” or “Hi °F“ will appear on the LCD. 
6. During the measurement process, the current temperature is displayed continuously and the “°C” or “°F” symbol flashes. The measurement is completed when a constant temperature value has been reached. The temperature value is considered constant when the temperature rises less than 0.1 °C within 4 seconds. As soon as the constant temperature value is reached, a beep will sound four times, and the “°C” or “°F” symbol will stop flashing.
7. The highest temperature measured appears on the LCD.
8. When the measurement is completed, please switch the thermometer off by pressing the  «ON / OFF » button.

METHODS OF MEASURING TEMPERATURE:
It is important to remember that the body temperature reading depends on the site where it is measured. For this reason, the measurement site must always be specified in order to ensure that a correct temperature reading is recorded.

In the rectum (rectal): This is the most accurate method from a medical point of view, because it comes closest
to the core body temperature. The thermometer tip is inserted carefully into the rectum for a maximum of 2 cm. The usual measuring time is approximately 9 to 11 seconds. 
In the mouth (oral): There are different heat zones in the mouth. As a general rule, the oral temperature is 0.3 °C to 0.8 °C lower than the rectal temperature. To ensure that reading is as accurate as possible, place the thermometer tip to the left or right of the root of the tongue. The thermometer tip must have constant contact with the tissue during the reading and be placed under the tongue in one of the two heat pockets at the back, keep the mouth closed during the reading and breathe evenly through the nose. Do not eat or drink anything before the measurement. The usual measuring time is approximately 15 to 19 seconds.
Under the armpit (axillary): Placing the thermometer in the armpit provides a measurement of surface temperature that can fluctuate by around 0.5 °C to 1.5 °C from rectal temperature readings in adults. The usual measuring time for this method is approximately 23 to 29 seconds. It should be noted, however, that an exact reading cannot be obtained if, for example, the armpits have been allowed to cool. If this is the case, we recommend extending the measuring time by around 5 minutes in order to obtain the most precise possible reading that corresponds as closely as possible to the core body temperature.

Note: We strongly recommend the rectal method as the most accurate method for identifying the basal temperature, We recommend to extend the measuring time by 3 minutes after the beep.

MEASUREMENT TIMES: 

RECTAL MEASUREMENT: Correct basal body temperature measured in 9 – 11 seconds if tip immersed 1 – 2 centimetres into the rectum.
MOUTH MEASUREMENT: Temperature of 0.3 – 0.8 °C below rectum measured in 15 – 19 seconds.
ARMPIT MEASUREMENT: Temperature of 0.5 – 1.5 degree below rectum measured in 23 – 29 seconds.

• If the ambient temperature is over 35 °C or 95 °F , dip the thermometer tip in cold water for approx. 5 to 10 seconds prior to measuring the temperature.
• If you want to measure your temperature after sport, showering or eating a meal, please wait for at least 30 minutes.
• Persistent fever, in particular in children, has to be treated by a Doctor – please get in touch with your Doctor! 

• This thermometer is a maximum thermometer, i.e. the displayed temperature can increase slightly if measurement continues after the beep. This is particularly the case with axillary measurements, should a temperature value be recorded which approximates the core body temperature.
• Incorrect methods of measuring temperature may lead to inaccurate measurement results.
• Do not allow the device to come into contact with hot water.
• Do not expose to high temperatures or direct sunlight.
• Do not drop the thermometer. It is neither shock-proof nor impact-resistant.
• Do not modify this device without authorization of manufacturer.
• Do not bend or open the device (except the battery compartment).
• Do not clean with thiners, petrol or benzene, instead please do only clean with water or disinfectant.
• Do not immerse the waterproof thermometers under water over 15 cm deep for longer than 30 minutes.
• The thermometer contains small parts (battery, battery compartment) which can be swallowed by children. For this reason, do not leave the thermometer unattended in the hands of children.
• Avoid bending the thermometer tip by more than 45 degrees.

The thermometer device should be stored at a temperature between -25 - 55 °C and a humidity of ≤ 95 % RH.
