Use
Press the ON/OFF-button to switch the unit on. All display symbols will appear shortly and a signal tone will be emitted,
followed by the last measured temperature. If the temperature is below 32°C (90°F), “Lo” is displayed - if the tempera-
ture is above 42,9°C (109.9°F), “Hi” is displayed. The medisana thermometer TM 700 is now ready to take a
temperature reading. Position the sensor tip in oral, axillary or rectal position:
ORAL READINGS:
Place the sensor tip of the thermometer under the tongue and close your mouth. Breathe through your nose while taking
the reading in order to avoid inaccurate results.
RECTAL READINGS:
Many patients nd rectal measurement uncomfortable, but it delivers precise results. To quickly and reliably determine
body temperature, carefully insert the sensor tip approx. 1 cm into the rectum.
ARMPIT READINGS:
Wash the armpit before taking a reading. Insert the tip of the thermometer into the armpit. Lower the arm and press it
lightly against the body while the reading is being taken.
The thermometer will now automatically begin to take a reading. During the reading, the “°”-sign ashes constantly. After
the reading, you multiple tones will be emitted for approx. 10 seconds and the measurement result will be displayed.
If you continue to measure even after the signal tones have been emitted, the readings will get more accurate. If you
measure the body temperature on the armpit, the measurement duration should be at least 10 minutes in order to get a
reliable result. If the reading is > 37,8°C (100°F), the thermometer will indicate fever alarm by announcing mutiple beep
sounds (short beeps).
The thermometer will switch off automatically ten minutes after taking the reading. To prolong the life of the battery,
however, you should switch off the thermometer manually by pressing the ON/OFF-button.
