Directions:

Operating your Vicks digital thermometer press the on/off button to activate the thermometer. A beep will sound and the display will come on.

The display will first show the lcd display test. After 3 seconds, the display will be in the ready mode as indicated by a l symbol. If the room temperature is higher than 32°C, the display will show the current room temperature. Oral use cover the thermometers tip with a probe cover. Place the probe tip well under the tongue. Place sensor tip in areas marked with 3.

The Mouth should remain closed during the measurement to ensure an accurate reading. Be careful not to bite the thermometer. When the peak temperature is reached (usually within 10-20 seconds), 10 beep signals will sound and the c or f sign will stop flashing. The temperature is now ready to read and will not change when the thermometer is removed.

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. Dispose of used probe cover and wash the thermometer as recommended. Under-the-arm (axillary) use this method is used for babies and young children, but can be less accurate and takes longer. Wipe the underarm with a towel. Cover the thermometers tip with a probe cover. Place the probe tip under the arm so the tip is touching the skin and position your arm next to your body. With a young child, it is sometimes helpful to hug the child to keep their arm next to their body.

This ensures that the room air does not affect the probe. When the peak temperature is reached (usually within 20-30 seconds but sometimes longer for this method), 10 beep signals will sound and the c or f sign will stop flashing. The temperature is now ready to read and will not change when the thermometer is removed. Remember that this method produces a temperature 0.5°C or 1.0°F lower than a temperature taken orally.

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. Dispose of used probe cover and wash the thermometer as recommended.
