User Manual

UNDERARM (AXILLARY) USE
1. Wipe the underarm with a towel.
2. Place the thermometer under the arm so the tip is touching the skin and position
the arm next to the body. With a young child, it is sometimes helpful to hug the
child to keep their arm next to their body. This helps hold the thermometer steady
and ensures that the room air does not affect the reading.
3. When the peak temperature is reached (usually 30 seconds) 10 beep signals
will sound and the “°F” sign will stop flashing and the display light will come on. The temperature is now ready to read
and will not change when the thermometer is removed.
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 9 minutes.
5. Wash the thermometer as recommended.
AUTOMATIC NIGHT GLOW DISPLAY
The night glow display works automatically as you turn your Vicks thermometer on or off. When turned on, the display will
glow for 5 seconds to illuminate the last temperature taken and the ready display. When you turn off the thermometer, the
display will glow again, illuminating the temperature reading for 4 seconds.
TO RECALL THE LAST TEMPERATURE
When the thermometer is turned on, the last measured temperature will be shown on the LCD display with the letter “M”
shown under the degree sign for approximately 2 seconds.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
 Clean the sensor area of the thermometer only by washing with soap and warm water or rubbing alcohol (70%
isopropyl alcohol).
 Wipe dry with soft cloth.
 DO NOT SUBMERGE THE READOUT DISPLAY OF THE THERMOMETER IN WATER. This will cause the thermometer to
no longer function properly.
 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.
 After cleaning, cover thermometer with the storage cap and store in a dry place.
CHANGING THE BATTERIES
The Vicks Rectal Thermometer features a long life battery. When the “

” appears in the lower right of the display, the
battery is exhausted and needs replacing.
1. With a coin or screwdriver, release cover lock located on the side of the thermometer and remove the battery with a
non-metallic instrument.
2. Replace with a type SR41 (long life), LR41, or equivalent, making sure the positive (+) side is facing the back of the
thermometer.
3. Replace battery cover. Your thermometer is now ready for use.
4. Carefully discard the old battery. Keep out of reach of young children, elderly and pets.
