MedEx digital thermometer is waterproof.

Measure body temperature via oral, rectal or axillaries.

Operation: 1. Press the button, the LCD display will show 188.8 indicator for about 2 seconds.
2. After switching on, the thermometer will show the last memorized value for about 2 seconds and then "Lo" will be shown on the LCD, which means the patient can start to measure the temperature.
3. While the thermometer is being used, the "C" mark will flicker during the measuring period. After 10 seconds, a "bibibibi-bibibibi" sound will be heard, which means the measurement is complete.
4. To preserve the battery life, switch off the thermometer after each use by pressing the button, otherwise the thermometer will shut off automatically after 8 minutes.
Do not take the thermometer out from the body before hearing "bibibibi-bibibibi" sound, otherwise the LCD will show "- - - C" with "bi-bi-bi-bi" sound and will not show any results. This is to avoid unfinished or incorrect measurement. At this time, turn the thermometer off and then turn it on again for a new measurement.
When the body temperature reaches 37.8°C, fever alarm of a short "bi-bi-bi" sound will be produced.
If the thermometer is not removed from the measured place, such as mouth or underarm after the beep sound, the indicated temperature will fluctuate minimally. Especially the underarm measurement, keep the thermometer under the arm for the recommended minimum measuring time (refer to Reliable Method to Measure Temperature as follows).
Reliable Method to Measure Temperature: Body temperature in the morning (lower) will be different from those in the afternoon (higher). Hence, measuring the body temperature in the same place and at the same time of the day is recommended. (See Table 2.)
