CLEANING AND DISINFECTING

OMRON recommends to wipe the device with damp cloth. For disinfection, 70% Ethanol or Isopropyl alcohol can be used. Do not attempt to disinfect
the sensing section of the thermometer by immersing it in alcohol or in hot water (water over 50°C).
Do not submerge this thermometer deeper than 15 cm and longer than 30 minutes.

2.

Apply the thermometer to the measurement site.

NOTE:

Even if the “L” indicator fails to display (when only the
temperature is displayed), this is not an error. The temperature
may be taken as is.

3.

The Buzzer notification will emit a [beepbeep-beep] sound
three times to reflect the earliest temperature indication.
Remove the thermometer from the measurement site and
read the result.

BUZZER NOTIFICATION TIMING

* 2 minutes is the earliest estimated temperature indication. To complete the measurement, it is required to measure the temperature in the armpit between

5-10 minutes (depending on the ambient temperature and condition).

NOTES:

• The measurement continues even after the buzzer notification.
• The buzzer notification timing is based on an environmental temperature of 23 degrees.
• Since oral and armpit may give lower measurement results it is recommended to apply the device rectally to get the most accurate result.

4.

Turn off the thermometer. Clean and disinfect before returning it to its protective case.

NOTES:

• The reading will automatically be stored in memory.
• Turn off the thermometer manually to conserve the battery. It will automatically switch off 30 minutes after use or 3 minutes when turned on but not used.
