Description of this Thermometer
Important Safety Instructions
Follow instructions for use. This document provides important
product operation and safety information regarding this device.
Please read this document thoroughly before using the device and
keep for future reference.
This device is only to be used for measuring human body tempera-
ture through oral, rectal or axillary. Do not attempt to take tempera-
tures at other sites, such as in the ear, as it may result in false read-
ings and may lead to injury.
Do not use this device if you think it is damaged or notice anything
unusual.
We recommend cleaning this device according to the cleaning
instructions before first use for personal hygiene.
The minimum measurement time until the beep is heard must be
maintained without exception!
Consider that different measurement locations may require
continued measuring even after the beep, see section «Measuring
methods / Normal body temperature».
For safety reasons (risk of rectal perforation) rectal measurement in
children younger than 3 years must be performed only by trained
health care personnel (professional user). Use another measurement
method instead. For rectal fever measurement in small children
younger than 3 years, thermometers with a flexible tip are available.
Do not attempt rectal measurements on persons with rectal disor-
ders. Doing so may aggravate or worsen the disorder.
Ensure that children do not use this device unsupervised; some
parts are small enough to be swallowed.
The battery is well sealed inside the thermometer to reduce the risk
to be swallowed by children.
Do not use this device close to strong electromagnetic fields such as
mobile telephones or radio installations. Keep a minimum distance
of 3.3 m from such devices when using this device.
Protect the device from impact and dropping!
Avoid ambient temperatures above 60 °C. NEVER boil this device!
Use only the commercial disinfectants listed in the section «Cleaning
and Disinfecting» to clean the device to avoid damage to the device.
We recommend this device is tested for accuracy every two years or
after mechanical impact (e.g. being dropped). Please contact your
local Microlife-Service to arrange the test.
WARNING: The measurement result given by this device is
not a diagnosis! Do not rely on the measurement result only.
Batteries and electronic devices must be disposed of in
accordance with the locally applicable regulations, not with
domestic waste.
Read the instructions carefully before using this device.
Type BF applied part
Turning on the Thermometer
To turn on the thermometer, press the ON/OFF button 1. A display
test is performed. All segments should be displayed.
Then at an ambient temperature of less than 32 °C, an «L» and a
flashing «°C» appear at the display field 2. The thermometer is now
ready for use.
Function Test
Correct functioning of the thermometer is tested automatically each
time it is turned on. If a malfunction is detected (measurement inaccu-
racy), this is indicated by «ERR» on the display, and a measurement
becomes impossible. In this case, the thermometer must be replaced.
Using the Thermometer
Choose the preferred measuring method. When taking a measure-
ment, the current temperature is continuously displayed and the «°C»
symbol flashes. If the beep is heard 10 times and the «°C» is no longer
flashing, this means that the measured increase in temperature is less
than 0.1 °C in 16 seconds and that the thermometer can now be read.
To prolong the battery life, turn off the thermometer by briefly pressing
the ON/OFF button 1. Otherwise the thermometer will automatically
turn off after about 10 minutes.
Storage of Measured Values
If the ON/OFF button 1 is pressed for more than 3 seconds when
turning on the thermometer, the automatically stored maximum
temperature during the last measurement will be displayed. At the
same time, a «M» for memory will appear on the display. About
2 seconds after the button is released, the temperature value disap-
pears and the thermometer is ready for measurement.
Measuring methods / Normal body temperature
In the armpit (axillary) / 34.7 - 37.3 °C
Wipe the underarm with a dry towel. Place the measuring sensor 3
under the arm into the center of the armpit so the tip is touching the
skin and position the patient’s arm next to the patient’s body. This
ensures that the room air does not affect the reading. Because the
axillary takes more time to reach its stable temperature wait at least
5 minutes, regardless of the beep sound.
In the mouth (oral) / 35.5 - 37.5 °C
Do not eat or drink anything hot or cold 10 minutes before the
measurement. The mouth should remain closed up to 2 minutes
before starting a reading.
Position the thermometer in one of the two pockets under the
tongue, to the left or right of the root of the tongue. The measuring
sensor 3 must be in good contact with the tissue. Close your mouth
and breathe evenly through the nose to prevent the measurement
from being influenced by inhaled/exhaled air.
If this is not possible due to blocked airways, another method for
measuring should be used.
Approx. measuring time: 1 minute!
In the anus (rectal) / 36.6 - 38.0 °C
Attention: For the prevention of rectal perforation in children
(younger than 3 years), we recommend using another measuring
method, or the use of a thermometer with flexible tip.
Carefully insert the measuring sensor 3 of the thermometer 2 to
3 cm into the anal aperture.
The use of a probe cover and the use of a lubricant is recommended.
If you are unsure of this measurement method, you should consult a
professional for guidance/training.
Approx. measuring time: 1 minute!
Cleaning and Disinfecting
For disinfection in home use environment, use a 70% Isopropyl alcohol
swab or a cotton tissue moistened with 70% Isopropyl alcohol to wipe
surface pollutants off the thermometer probe. Always start wiping from
the end of the thermometer probe (approx. at the middle of the ther-
mometer) towards the thermometer tip. Afterwards the entire thermom-
eter (see number
4
in the drawing) should be immersed in 70%
Isopropyl alcohol for at least 5 minutes (max. 24 hours). After immer-
sion, let the disinfectant dry off for 1 minute before next use.
For professional use: Additionally, you may apply probe covers
(available as accessory). Contact Microlife for more details concerning
further disinfectants for your thermometer model.

Ligar o termómetro
Para ligar o termómetro, pressione o botão ON/OFF 1. É efectuado
um teste ao mostrador. Deverão visualizar-se todos os segmentos.
Em seguida, a uma temperatura ambiente inferior a 32 °C, são apre-
sentados os símbolos «L» e «°C» a piscar no mostrador 2. O termó-
metro pode agora ser utilizado.
Teste de funcionamento
O funcionamento correto do termómetro é testado automaticamente
sempre que o instrumento é ligado. Se for detetada qualquer
anomalia (medição incorreta), o visor indicará a informação «ERR»,
ficando impossibilitada a medição. Caso esta situação se verifique, é
necessário substituir o termómetro.
Utilização do termómetro
Escolha o local de medição preferido. Ao efectuar uma medição, a
temperatura atual é visualizada constantemente e o símbolo «°C» é
apresentado a piscar. Se ouvir o sinal sonoro 10 vezes e o símbolo
«°C» deixar de piscar, significa que o aumento de temperatura regis-
tado é inferior a 0,1 °C em 16 segundos e que já é possível efectuar
a leitura do termómetro.
