7. Press and hold the START/IO button 7 for 3 seconds
to turn off the device; otherwise the device will automat-
ically switch off after approx. 30 seconds.
NOTE:
Patients and thermometer should stay in similar
room condition for at least 30 minutes.
Don't take a measurement while or immediately after
nursing a baby.
Don't use the thermometer in high humidity environments.
Patients should not drink, eat or exercise before/while
taking the measurement.
Don't move the measurement device from the measu-
ring area before hearing the termination beep.
10 short beeps and a red LCD backlight alert the patient
that he/she may have a temperature equal to or higher
than 37.5 °C.
Always take the temperature in the same location, since
temperature readings may vary according to locations.
Doctors recommend rectal measurement for newborn
infants within the first 6 months, as all other measuring
methods might lead to ambiguous results. If using a non
contact thermometer on those infants, we always recom-
mend verifying the readings with a rectal measurement.

In the following situations it is recommended that three
temperatures are taken with the highest one taken as
the reading:
1. Children under three years of age with a compro-
mised immune system and for whom the presence or
absence of fever is critical.
2. When the user is learning how to use the thermometer
for the first time until he/she has familiarized himself/
herself with the device and obtains consistent readings.
3. If the measurement is surprisingly low.
Readings from different measuring sites should not
be compared as the normal body temperature varies
by measuring site and time of day, being highest in the
evening and lowest about one hour before waking up.
Normal body temperature ranges:
- Axillar: 34.7 - 37.3 °C / 94.5 - 99.1 °F
- Oral: 35.5 - 37.5 °C / 95.9 - 99.5 °F
- Rectal: 36.6 - 38.0 °C / 97.9 - 100.4 °F
- Microlife NC 400: 35.4 - 37.4 °C / 95.7 - 99.3 °F
8. Changing between Celsius and Fahrenheit
This thermometer can display temperature readings in either
Fahrenheit or Celsius. To switch the display between °C and
°F, press and hold the MODE button 6 for 3 seconds; the
beeper icon is shown on the display. Press the MODE button
again; the current measurement scale («°C» or «°F» icon)
will be shown on the display AO. Change the measurement
scale between °C and °F by pressing the MEMO-button 5.
When the measurement scale has been chosen, press the
START/IO button 7 to enter the «ready for measuring»
mode; otherwise the device automatically switches to ready
for measuring after 10 seconds AT.
9. How to recall 30 readings in Memory Mode
This thermometer can recall the last 30 readings with a
record of both time and date.
Recall mode AP: Press the MEMO-button 5 to enter
recall mode when the power is off. The memory icon
«M» will flash.
Reading 1 - the last reading AQ: Press and release the
MEMO-button 5 to recall the last reading. Number «1»
and a flashing «M» are displayed.
Pressing and releasing the MEMO-button 5 after the last
30 readings have been recalled will resume the above
sequence from reading 1.
