CHANGING THE DISPLAY FROM FAHRENHEIT (F) OR CENTIGRADE (C):

With the thermometer in the OFF position, hold down the center button until the display shows Lo. Release the button. To choose desired scale, press

the button again to move between the “F” or “C” icon shown below the Lo. Once the “C” or “F” starts to blink, push the button again to turn off the

thermometer. You can now turn on the thermometer and the display will be in Fahrenheit (F) or Centigrade (C) based on the scale you set in the above

steps. Your thermometer will return to Fahrenheit (F) readings when you replace your battery. You can repeat this process to switch to Centigrade (C).

TEMPERATURE READINGS

Temperature readings vary from person to person. Although there is no one “normal” temperature reading, a temperature, taken orally, ranging between

97°F and 100°F is considered normal. A rectal temperature is generally 1° higher and an underarm (axillary) temperature will be 1° lower.

The best method to determine your own normal temperature is to use the thermometer when you are feeling well. Record your reading twice a day (early

morning and late afternoon). Take the average of the two temperatures. This is considered your normal body temperature. Any variation from it may

indicate some sort of illness and you should consult your physician.

BEFORE USE

Your Vicks Digital Thermometer is a 3-in-1 thermometer for oral, rectal, or underarm use. Whichever method

is used, it is recommended that for 15 minutes prior to use, avoid eating or drinking any liquids, exercising, taking

showers or baths or smoking.

PROBE COVERS

Disposable probe covers are provided with your Vicks Digital Thermometer. Place a cover on the probe tip

each time the thermometer is used to help prevent spread of germs. Additional probe covers can

be purchased

at most drug stores or pharmacy departments.

OPERATING YOUR Vicks DIGITAL THERMOMETER

1. TURNING THE UNIT ON

1. Turn unit on by pressing the On/Off button (Fig. 1).

2. Wait for unit to get ready.

– A beep will sound and the display will perform a self-test for about 2 seconds (Fig. 2).

– The display will show last measurement for 2 seconds (Fig. 3).

– When the thermometer starts to measure, the display will show “L” if lower than

90 degrees F (Fig. 4).

2. SELECTING A TEMPERATURE LOCATION

Oral Use

1. It is suggested to use a probe cover for Oral Use. Discard the probe cover after taking a temperature.

2. It is important to place the tip of the thermometer well under the tongue to get a good, accurate reading.

(Fig. 5) Place sensor tip in areas marked with “3”. Keep mouth closed and sit still to help ensure an

accurate measurement.

3. When the peak temperature is reached, 10 beep signals will sound and the “°F” sign will stop flashing.

4. Turn the thermometer off by pressing the On/Off button. If you forget to turn it off, the thermometer will

automatically turn off after approximately 10 minutes.

5. Dispose of used probe cover and wash the thermometer as recommended.

Under-the-arm (Axillary) Use

This method is used for babies and young children.

1. Wipe the underarm with a towel.

2. Place the probe tip under the arm so the tip is touching the skin and position your arm next to your body

(Fig. 6). With a young child, it is sometimes helpful to hug the child to keep their arm next to their body.

This ensures that the room air does not affect the reading.

3. When the peak temperature is reached, 10 beep signals will sound and the “°F” sign will stop flashing.

The temperature is now confirmed.

Note: This method produces a temperature 1° lower than a temperature taken orally.

4. Turn the thermometer off by pressing the On/Off button. If you forget to turn it off, the thermometer

will automatically turn off after approximately 10 minutes.

5. Wash the thermometer as recommended.

Rectal Use

Commonly used for babies, young children, or when it is difficult to take an oral or underarm temperature.

1. Cover the thermometer’s tip with a probe cover and lubricate with a water-soluble jelly for easier

insertion. Do not use a petroleum jelly. Read the label of the lubricant to be sure you are using the

right kind.

2. Lay the patient on his/her side. If the patient is an infant, the proper position for a baby is to lay on its

stomach with legs hanging down, either across your knees or at the edge of a bed or changing table. This positions the infant’s rectum for safe

and easy insertion of the thermometer.

3. Gently insert the tip of the thermometer NO MORE THAN 1/2 inch into the rectum. If you detect resistance, stop. Hold the thermometer in place

during measurement.

4. When the peak temperature is reached 10 beep signals will sound and the “°F” sign will stop flashing. The temperature is now confirmed.

Note: This method produces a temperature 1° higher than a temperature taken orally.

5. Turn the thermometer off by pressing the On/Off button. If you forget to turn it off, the thermometer will automatically turn off after approximately

10 minutes.

6. Dispose of used probe cover and wash the thermometer as recommended.

FEVER SIGNAL

The Fever Signal feature alerts you of temperature readings above 99.5°F with a flashing display and a rapid alarm tone that lasts for about 10 seconds.

TO RECALL THE LAST TEMPERATURE

When the thermometer is turned on, the display will show a test, after which the last measured temperature will be shown for approximately 2 seconds

on the LCD display.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

•

Clean the probe tip by washing with soap and warm water or by disinfecting with rubbing alcohol (70% isopropyl alcohol).

•

Wipe dry with soft cloth.

•

DO NOT BOIL OR CLEAN IN DISHWASHER. This will cause the thermometer to no longer function and will void the warranty.

•

Do not wash the unit with any thinner or chemical solvent.

CHANGING THE BATTERIES

The Vicks

Digital Thermometer features a long life battery. When the “ ” appears in the lower right of the display, the battery is exhausted and

needs replacing.

1. Unscrew the battery cap with a coin.

2. Replace the battery with a 1.55V, LR41 alkaline, L736 or SR41 silver oxide type or equivalent. Insert the new battery with the positive (+) side facing

the back of the unit.

3. Replace the cover and screw back into place, making sure that the cap is secure to protect the battery compartment from moisture.
