never use the soother thermometer as a regular soother.
1 Check if the measurement unit of the soother thermometer is firmly
attached to the soother (i.e. turned completely to the closed lock position).
If the measurement unit is not firmly attached to the soother, the measurement
may be inaccurate and the measurement unit may become a suffocation hazard.
2 Place the soother in the baby's mouth for approx. 3 minutes to let the
thermometer warm up.
If you do not do this, the measured temperature may be inaccurate.
3 Press the on/off button I to switch on the thermometer.
Note: You can either press the on/off button while the soother is still in your baby's
mouth, or you can remove the soother, press the on/off button and place the soother
back into your baby's mouth.
4 Leave the soother in the baby's mouth until the thermometer beeps.
See section 'Audible signals' at the end of this chapter for the meaning of the
beeps.
The display now shows the measured temperature and the °C
,
indication lights up continuously.
Note: If for some reason the temperature cannot be measured, the display shows 'Lo'
or 'Hi'. This means that the temperature is outside the temperature range. Switch off
the thermometer, check if it is correctly positioned and switch it on again to restart
the measurement.
5 Remove the soother thermometer from the baby's mouth.
Do not leave the child alone with the soother thermometer.
6 Press the on/off button I to switch off the thermometer.
Note: Switch off thermometer after use to save battery power. If you do not switch off
the thermometer, it switches off automatically: after 1 minute if the temperature
measured is <32°C; or after 10 minutes if the temperature measured is >32°C.
Digital flexible-tip thermometer
Do not insert the flexible-tip thermometer into the ear or nose.
The soother thermometer is just as accurate as the digital flexible-tip thermometer
and is more convenient to use. However, because rectal measurement is inherently
more accurate than oral measurement, the digital flexible-tip thermometer gives
you an opportunity to reassure yourself.
For a rectal measurement of a baby's temperature, proceed as follows:
