TEMPERATURE TAKING HINTS
• External factors may influence accuracy, including when an individual has:
– been recently swimming or bathing.
– been lying on the side where the temperature is taken from. Never take temperature from the
side on which the patient was laying on. Use the opposite side.
– been recently exposed to hot or cold air temperatures. Wait at least 20 minutes after the
patient was moved to a room with normal operating conditions.
• Readings from the right side of the patient’s head may differ from the readings taken on the left
side of the head. Therefore, preferably take all temperatures on the same side of the head.
• Moving the product whilst it is taking the temperature may affect the reading.
MEMORY MODE
Vicks Gentle Touch Behind Ear Thermometer stores the last 8 temperature readings.
After turning power on, the last temperature is always briefly displayed.
• To retrieve the last 8 readings, press the “M” Button when the thermometer
has <OK> shown on the Display. The Display will show the most recent
temperature with the corresponding reading number, (M:1 for the most
recent). Pressing the “M” Button will show additional readings.
• The Memory mode is exited either automatically if the “M” Button is no longer
pushed or by pressing the Power Button.

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR AND REPLACING BATTERIES
