Directions	As accurate as a glass thermometer. Fast, safe and easy to use. Tips for using your Nexcare™ rapid digital thermometer. Your Nexcare™ rapid digital thermometer is a durable and precise medical device. Here are some helpful hints to help you get the best performance from the product. 1. In oral use, as with all thermometers, keep thermometer in place without shifting it in the mouth while taking temperature. 2. Stay with your child during temperature taking to help ensure proper use of the thermometer. Avoid bending the probe more than 45 degrees to prevent possible damage. This thermometer is not a toy! Instructions for use: 1. Press button to turn on the thermometer. A short beep signal will sound and the display will read as follows: This is the LCD display test showing that all elements in the display are working properly. 2. Observe thermometer is ready for use. After approximately 1 second, the display will show the "ok" symbol. It indicates correct operation of all the thermometer parts. If a malfunction occurs, the "Err" or "---" symbol will appear. The "Lo" symbol with a flashing "degrees F" or "degrees C" will then appear to indicate that the thermometer is ready to take a temperature. 3. Take temperature by oral, underarm (axillary) or rectal method. Do not eat or drink 15 minutes before taking temperature. Oral method: place thermometer probe under tongue. Probe tip should rest in "correct area" as shown in diagram. Hold the thermometer in the same spot under your tongue with your mouth closed. Incorrect areas can register as much as 1.2 degrees F (0.6 degrees C) lower than correct areas. Underarm (axillary) method: (alternative method for babies or very young children. Although simpler, the axillary method is less accurate and takes longer.) Make sure the underarm is dry and there is no material between the chest and arm. Point the thermometer upward and place the tip well into the patient's underarm. Fold patent's arm over chest to hold the thermometer in place and keep air away from the underarm. Many people find hugging the child while taking the temperature helps ensure it is taken correctly and also comforts the child. Rectal method: (recommended for babies or very young children who breathe through their mouth.) Lubricate the tip of the thermometer with a water soluble jelly. Do not use petroleum jelly. The patient should lie on his/her side, knees slightly bent. If the patient is a baby, place the infant on its stomach with legs hanging down, either across your knees or at the edge of a bed or changing table. This positions the baby's rectum properly for safe and easy insertion of the thermometer. With one hand, gently slide the tip of the thermometer no more than 1/2 inch into the rectum. If you detect resistance of any kind, stop. Hold the thermometer in place during temperature measurement. Once used rectally, the thermometer should not be used orally, for sanitary reasons. 4. Listen for completion of test. At the completion of the measurement the "degrees C" or "degrees F" will stop flashing and you will hear a series of "completion beeps". 5. Read thermometer and record result. A series of beeps signals completion. Remove the thermometer and read temperature on display; temperature reading will not change while the power remains on. Hold button down to see temperature reading, with backlight illuminated. It is advisable to inform your doctor any time a temperature is above 100 degrees F (37.8 degrees C). If the temperature measured is below or above the measuring range, the thermometer will display either the "Lo" or the "HI" symbol. The measuring range for this thermometer is 90.0 degrees F to 111.9 degrees F and 32.0 degrees C to 43.9 degrees C. 6. Press button to turn off thermometer. Press button to turn off the thermometer. If you forget it will turn off automatically after about 9 minutes. 7. Observe last temperature reading (memory feature). To recall last recorded temperature, with the unit off, press and continue to hold the button down. After approximately 2 seconds the recalled temperat
