Fever InSight® Thermometer Model V916C-AUS

READ AND KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

Thank you for purchasing the Vicks® Fever InSight® Thermometer with a large screen display and Fever InSight® feature, a professional accurate instrument for faster and easier temperature taking.

Please read these instructions carefully to ensure accurate temperature measurements and safe operation. When used properly, this high-quality product will give you years of accurate, dependable service.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

High, prolonged fever requires medical attention, especially for young children. Please contact your physician.
Do not allow children to take their temperatures unattended.
Do not allow children to walk or run during temperature taking.
The thermometer is only suitable for the measurement of body temperature. The use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your doctor.
The thermometer is initially calibrated at the time of manufacture. If this thermometer is used according to the use instructions, the accuracy of measurements will not be affected.

TEMPERATURE READINGS

Temperature readings vary from person to person.

Although there is no one “normal” temperature reading, a temperature, taken orally, ranging between 36.1°C / 97°F and 37.7°C / 100°F is considered normal.

A rectal temperature is generally 0.5°C / 1°F higher and an underarm (axillary) temperature will be 0.5°C / 1°F lower.

The best method to determine your own normal temperature is to use the thermometer when you are feeling well.

Record your reading twice a day (early morning and late afternoon).

Take the average of the two temperatures.

This is considered your normal body temperature.

Any variation from it may indicate some sort of illness and you should consult your physician.

BEFORE USE

Your Vicks® Fever InSight® Thermometer is a 3-in-1 thermometer for oral, rectal, or underarm use. Whichever method is used, it is recommended that for 15 minutes prior to use, you avoid eating or drinking, exercising, taking showers or baths or smoking.

OPERATING YOUR THERMOMETER

TURNING THE THERMOMETER ON

Turn the thermometer on by pressing the On/Off button (Fig. 1).
A beep signal will sound and the display will flash Red/Yellow/Green for 1 second.
Wait for the thermometer to get ready
– The display will show a test value (Fig. 2).
– The display will show last measurement for 2 seconds (Fig. 3).
– After about 5 seconds, the display will show it’s ready (Fig. 4).

SELECTING WHERE TO TAKE THE TEMPERATURE

Oral Use

It is important to place the tip of the thermometer well under the tongue to get a good, accurate reading. (Fig. 5) Place sensor tip in areas marked with “4”. Keep mouth closed and sit still to help ensure an accurate measurement.
When the peak temperature is reached (usually within 12 seconds), 5 beep signals will sound and the “°C/°F” sign will stop flashing. The temperature measurement is now ready to read and will not change when the thermometer is removed.
Wash the thermometer as recommended.

Under-the-arm (Axillary) Use

This method can be used for babies and young children.

Wipe the underarm with a towel.
Place the probe tip under the arm so the tip is touching the skin and position the arm next to the body (Fig. 6). 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 reading.
When the peak temperature is reached (usually within 11 seconds but sometimes longer for this method), 5 beep signals will sound and the “°C/°F” sign will stop flashing. The temperature measurement is now ready to read and will not change when the thermometer is removed.
Note: This method produces a temperature reading 0.5°C / 1°F lower than if the temperature were taken orally.
Wash the thermometer as recommended.

Rectal Use

Commonly used for babies, young children, or when it is difficult to take an oral or underarm temperature.

Lay the patient on his/her side. For a baby, the proper position is to lay on its stomach with legs hanging down, either across your knees or at the edge of a bed or changing table. This positions the infant’s rectum for safe and easy insertion of the thermometer.
Gently insert the tip of the thermometer NO MORE THAN 1cm into the rectum. If you detect resistance, stop. Hold the thermometer in place during measurement.
When the peak temperature is reached (usually within 10 seconds) 5 beep signals will sound and the “°C/°F” sign will stop flashing. The temperature measurement is now ready to read and will not change when the thermometer is removed.
NOTE: This method produces a temperature reading 0.5°C / 1°F higher than if the temperature were taken orally.
Wash the thermometer as recommended.

READING THE MEASUREMENT: FEVER INSIGHT® FEATURE

The Vicks® Fever InSight® Thermometer comes with the patented “Fever InSight®” feature which offers a color indicator with the temperature reading. This feature will help you explain to your child the meaning of temperature. It also helps by distracting your child from possible fear associated with temperature taking, especially with young children.

For readings between 36.1-37.1°C / 97-98.8°F, the screen will display green as the backlight color indicating the temperature is within the “normal” range.
For readings between 37.2-38.2°C / 99-100.7°F, the screen will display yellow as the backlight color indicating a slight elevation in temperature.
For readings 38.3°C / 101°F and above, the screen will display red as the backlight color indicating possible fever. The Fever InSight® feature continues for about 5 seconds.

TURNING THE THERMOMETER OFF

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 1 1/2 minutes.

CHANGING TEMPERATURE SCALE FROM °C TO °F OR °F TO °C

When the power is off, press and hold the On/Off button for 4 seconds, when the “M” symbol disappears, release the button and press the button to switch from °C to °F or °F to °C . After 3 seconds idle, the thermometer enters into the ready-for-measurement mode.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Clean the thermometer by washing it with soap and warm water or rubbing alcohol (70% isopropyl alcohol).
Wipe dry with soft cloth.
DO NOT BOIL OR WASH IN THE DISHWASHER. This will cause the thermometer to no longer function and will void the warranty.

Important Safety Instructions

READ AND SAVE THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE
WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND INJURY TO PERSONS, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

The appliance should always be placed on a firm, flat, waterproof surface at least four feet (1.22m) away from bedside, twelve inches (30cm) from the wall and out of reach of patient, children and pets. Be sure the appliance is in a stable position and the power cord is away from heated surfaces and out of the way to prevent the humidifier from being tipped over.
The appliance should not be left unattended in a closed room since air could become saturated and leave condensation on walls and furniture. Leave room door partly open.
Before using the appliance, extend the cord and inspect for any signs of damage. Do not use the unit if the cord has been damaged.
The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as a safety feature. This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance directly into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
The appliance should always be unplugged and emptied when not in operation or while being cleaned. Shut off and unplug humidifier before moving. Do not move or tilt humidifier while it is in operation. Plug and unplug unit with dry hands. Never pull by cord.
Do not operate the appliance without water. Turn off and unplug unit when tank is empty and the reset light is on.
Caution: To avoid the risk of fire, shock or personal injury, do not use an extension cord.
Appliance requires regular cleaning. Refer to and follow cleaning instructions.
Do not operate outdoors; this appliance is intended for indoor use.
Do not cover or insert objects into any openings on the unit.
Do not attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical functions on this appliance. Doing so will void your warranty.
Do not add any medications (e.g. Kaz Inhalant or Vicks VapoSteam®) into Chimney, Base, Reservoir or Water Tank.
Do not touch the steam vapor. Steam can cause burns. Do not operate without the Medicine Cup in place on top of the Mist Chimney.
When moving or lifting the Tank, use one hand on the Tank Handle and the other on the bottom of the tank.
Do not touch skin with exposed VapoPad or place on furniture, fabric, bedding or plastic.
For Residential Use Only

How it Works

The Vicks Warm Mist Humidifier is designed to quietly provide visible warm moisture. The tank feeds water into the boiling chamber where it is heated to a steam vapor. The steam vapor mixes with dry air in the mist chimney. The warm moist air is released in the room.

V750 Accessories

The following accessories work great with your humidifier. These accessories can be purchased at most major retailers or through Kaz.com.

Vicks VapoPads®
Scent pads provide soothing menthol (VSP-19, VSP-19FP or VSP-19-CAN) or lavender/rosemary (VBR-5, in U.S. only) vapors. (One complimentary menthol scent pad included with product.)
Protec Cleaning Cartridge, PC-1BXN or PC-1C
Keeps your humidifier cleaner, longer. Continuously cleans and protects humidifiers against bacteria and mold for 30 days.
Kaz Inhalant, KFC-4 in U.S, or Vicks VapoSteam, VS177CANEA in Canada Can be added to medicine cup area to provide soothing menthol vapors to help provide comfort.

The appliance should ALWAYS be placed on a firm, flat, waterproof surface at least four feet (1.2 m) away from bedside, 12 inches (30 cm) from the wall and out of reach of patients, children and pets. Be sure the appliance is in a stable position and the power cord is away from heated surfaces and out of the way to prevent the humidifier from being a tripping hazard.
The appliance should not be left unattended in a closed room. Leave room door partly open. DO NOT aim Mist Outlet directly at walls, furniture and bedding.
Before using the appliance, extend the cord and inspect for any signs of damage. DO NOT use the unit if the cord has been damaged. DO NOT operate with power cord coiled or twist tie in place.
The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as a safety feature. This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature.
To avoid fire or electric shock hazard, plug the appliance directly into a 120V AC electrical outlet. To avoid risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, DO NOT use an extension cord or power strip.
The appliance should ALWAYS be unplugged and emptied when not in operation or while being cleaned. Shut off and unplug humidifier before moving. DO NOT move or tilt humidifier while it is in operation. Plug and unplug unit with dry hands. NEVER pull by cord.
Appliance requires regular cleaning. Refer to and follow cleaning instructions.

Getting to Know Your Vicks VUL525/545 Series Humidifiers

How it Works
Water is released from the Water Tank into the Reservoir. A Nebulizer vibrates at ultrasonic frequency, breaking the water into a fine mist. The mist is quietly propelled by a fan up a vertical Mist Chamber to the Mist Outlet where the cool, visible mist enters the room. This humidifier will shut off when the water level is low or when the Tank is removed from the Base.

VUL525/VUL545 Series Accessories (Not Included)

The following optional accessories work great with your humidifier.

Vicks VapoPads (One menthol VapoPad sample included)
Use Vicks VapoPads with your humidifier for soothing vapors. Enjoy up to 8 hours of soothing comfort per pad. Choose from three scents: Soothing Menthol Vapors, Comforting Sleepy Time Comfort (eucalyptus, rosemary and lavender) and Calming Vapors (menthol and lavender).

Protec® Antimicrobial Cleaning Products (Not Included)
These products feature an antimicrobial, Aquastat®, that helps keep your humidifier cleaner, longer. Simply drop in the tank for fresh, cleaner mist! Benefits of using these products include:

Kills up to 99% of odor causing bacteria

Setting Up Your Humidifier

Unpack the Humidifier
Keep this Owner’s Manual for reference

Remove packaging materials. Remove twist tie from power cord and extend power cord to full length.
Place on a firm, level, water resistant surface a minimum of 12” (30cm) from any walls. Mist should be directed away from any walls, bedding and furniture.

Hard Water and White Dust

High mineral content in your water, also known as hard water, may cause a white mineral residue to accumulate on surfaces in the room near the humidifier. This mineral residue is commonly referred to as white dust. The higher the mineral content (hardness) of your water, the greater the potential that an ultrasonic humidifier may produce white dust.
White dust is not a result of a defect or flaw in the humidifier. It is a result of the amount of minerals suspended in the water you are using.
To reduce white dust, use distilled water or a Protec PDC51V2 Demineralization Cartridge available through Consumer Relations; see back of this manual.

Filling/Refilling

NOTE: Tank should be carried using two hands. One hand using the carrying handle located on tank top and the other hand supporting the base of the tank.
Helen of Troy will not accept responsibility for property damage caused by water spillage.
VUL525 holds 1/2 gallon (1.9L) of water and VUL545 holds 1 gallon (3.8L) of water (tank and reservoir combined).

Filling
Always turn the the humidifier off before removing the Water Tank.

Remove Water Tank and turn upside down. Remove Tank Cap by turning counterclockwise (left). Fill Tank with cool water. DO NOT fill with warm or hot water.
Replace Tank Cap by turning clockwise (right), aligning arrow to lock symbol. Be sure Gasket is in place.
Place Tank on Base. Water will drain from the Tank into the Reservoir when the Plunger is engaged.

Using Your Humidifier

NOTE: Position humidifier to direct mist output away from walls, furniture and bedding.

With the Power Knob in the OFF position , plug the humidifier into a polarized 120V outlet.
CAUTION: TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT PLUG HUMIDIFIER INTO AN OUTLET WITH WET HANDS.
Turn Power Knob to the right to turn on, then turn to left or right to set desired mist level.
Humidity Level: When a comfortable humidity level is reached, turn Power Knob to a lower setting.

A comfortable humidity level is between 40-60%. Consider using a humidity monitor to display current room humidity and temperature.
CONDENSATION: If you notice condensation on the walls, windows or around the humidifier, the humidity level is too high. Open doors to the room or turn off humidifier until humidity level drops.

Mist Outlet
This humidifier features a directional Mist Outlet. Use this feature to direct the mist where you want it most.
The Outlet will rotate up to 180º.

Using Vicks VapoPads

Your humidifier can be used with Vicks VapoPads to provide up to 8 hours of soothing vapors.
One free sample of the Vicks Soothing Menthol VapoPad is included with your humidifier. To use your unit with Vicks VapoPads:

Open VapoPad Door by pressing the button.
Open VapoPad by tearing notch on pad bag. DO NOT touch pad with hands. If pad is touched DO NOT rub face or eyes as it may cause irritation.
Insert Vicks VapoPad with angled end facing towards the product. Push pads into VapoPad Slot. Close door.
After 8 hours, discard VapoPad. Push button to eject VapoPads.

To continue using VapoPads, repeat steps 1-4.

VapoPad Recommended Usage:

Not recommended for infants under 10 lbs (4.5 kg).
For children between 10-22 lbs (4.5-10 kg ) do not use more than 2 pads in a 24 hr period.
Scent Pad Ingredients: VSP-19, VSP-19-CAN: Eucalyptus Oil, Menthol, Glycol, Cedar Leaf Oil & Others

Using The Demineralization Cartridge:
This humidifier has been designed to be used with the Protec PDC51V2 or PDC51CV2 Demineralization Cartridge (not included). In hard water areas, use of distilled water or a demineralization cartridge with tap water will help minimize the production of white dust. Cartridges can be ordered through Consumer Relations; see back of this manual.

Daily Maintenance
For best results, use fresh clean water every day.

Weekly Cleaning

To properly clean your humidifier we recommend the separate processes of Scale Removal and Disinfecting shown below. These two processes must be performed separately.
All maintenance should be done in the kitchen or bathroom on a water resistant surface near a faucet. DO NOT wash any components of this humidifier in the dishwasher.

Instructions for Scale Removal

Turn off and unplug the humidifier.
Remove Water Tank from Base. Remove Tank Cap, taking care that the rubber Cap Gasket does not come off. Empty water from Water Tank and Base.
If Antimicrobial Cleaning Product is installed, remove Antimicrobial Cleaning Product and set aside. DO NOT clean Antimicrobial Cleaning Product. This will damage the Antimicrobial Cleaning Product.
Add 2 cups of undiluted distilled white vinegar to Water Tank. Replace Tank Cap and swish vinegar solution around in Tank. Place Tank on Base. Vinegar solution will drain into Water Reservoir and loosen mineral buildup (scale) on Nebulizer and Float as they soak in the solution. It will also loosen scale on bottom of Water Tank.
Soak for 15-20 minutes.
After soaking, unlock Tank Cap and pour solution out in sink. Pour solution from Water Reservoir out in sink. Wipe Nebulizer and Float with soft cloth to remove loosened mineral deposits.
Rinse Water Reservoir and Water Tank until smell of vinegar (for Scale Removal process) or bleach solution (for Disinfecting process) is gone. Make sure water does not enter the fan opening (vented opening on right side of Reservoir) or Power Knob.

CAUTION: DO NOT SUBMERGE BASE IN WATER. DOING SO WILL DAMAGE THE HUMIDIFIER AND VOID THE WARRANTY.

Instructions for Disinfecting
Follow Steps 1-3 in Scale Removal Instructions in previous section.

For Step 4: Add ½ tsp of bleach to ½ gallon (1.9L) of water and add to Tank. Replace Tank Cap. Swish solution around in Tank. Place Tank on Base. Bleach solution will drain into Reservoir and will disinfect Reservoir and other components as they soak.
NOTE: Using more than ½ tsp of bleach to ½ gallon of water may result in damage to your humidifier.
See steps 5-7 in Scale Removal Instructions in previous section to complete Disinfecting process.
NOTE: DO NOT mix vinegar and bleach solutions together. Scale Removal and Disinfecting must be done separately.

End-Of-Season Care And Storage

Follow the CLEANING instructions when the humidifier will not be used for at least one week, or at the end of the season.
At the end of the season, remove any accessories used with the humidifier and allow the humidifier and accesories to dry completely before storing.

Model V911 & V912

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for purchasing the VICKS® Speed-ReadTM Digital Thermometer, a professionally accurate instrument for faster and easier temperature taking. Please read these instructions carefully to ensure accurate temperatures and safe operation. When used properly, this high quality product will give you years of accurate, dependable service.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

High, prolonged fever requires medical attention especially for young children. Please contact your physician.
Do not allow children to take their temperatures unattended.
Do not allow children to walk or run during temperature taking.

If you have any questions or comments about the VICKS® Speed-ReadTM Digital Thermometer, call our toll-free Consumer Service Line: 1-800-477-0457.

TEMPERATURE READINGS

BEFORE USE

Your VICKS® Speed-ReadTM Digital Thermometer is a 3-in-1 thermometer for oral, rectal, or underarm use. Whichever method is used, it is recommended that for 15 minutes prior to use, avoid eating or drinking any liquids, exercising, taking showers or baths, or smoking.

PROBE COVERS
Disposable probe covers are provided with your VICKS® Speed-ReadTM Digital Thermometer. Place a cover on the probe tip each time the thermometer is used to help prevent contamination. Additional probe covers can be purchased at most drug stores or pharmacy departments.

OPERATING YOUR VICKS® SPEED-READTM DIGITAL THERMOMETER
Press the On/Off button to activate the thermometer. A beep will sound and the display will first show the LCD display test (Fig. 1). After 5 seconds, the display will be in the ready mode (Fig. 2).

ORAL USE

Cover the thermometer’s tip with a probe cover.
Place the probe tip well under the tongue. (Fig. 3) Place sensor tip in areas marked with “”. 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 10-20 seconds), 10 beep signals will sound and the “°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 10 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 less accurate and takes longer.

Wipe the underarm with a towel.
Cover the thermometer’s 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 (Fig. 4). 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 20-30 seconds but sometimes longer for this method), 10 beep signals will sound and the “°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 1° 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 10 minutes.
Dispose of used probe cover and wash the thermometer as recommended.

RECTAL USE
Commonly used for babies, young children, or when it is difficult to take an oral or underarm temperature.

Cover the thermometer’s tip with a probe cover and lubricate with a water-soluble jelly for easier insertion. Do not use a petroleum jelly. Read the label of the lubricant to be sure you are using the right kind.
Lay the patient on his/her side. If the patient is an infant, the proper position for a baby is to lay on its stomach with legs hanging down, either across your knees or at the edge of a bed or changing table. This positions the infant’s rectum for safe and easy insertion of the thermometer.
Gently insert the tip of the thermometer NO MORE THAN 1/2 inch into the rectum. If you detect resistance, stop. Hold the thermometer in place during measurement.
When the peak temperature is reached (usually 10 seconds) 10 beep signals will sound and the “°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 1° higher 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 10 minutes.
Dispose of used probe cover and wash the thermometer as recommended.

TO RECALL THE LAST TEMPERATURE
When the thermometer is turned on, continue to hold the button down approximately 2 seconds. The last measured temperature will be shown in the LCD display with the letter “M” shown under the degree sign for approximately 3 seconds, then unit will shut off.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Clean the thermometer by washing with soap and warm water or rubbing alcohol (70% isopropyl alcohol).
Wipe dry with soft cloth.
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.

CHANGING THE BATTERIES
The VICKS® Speed-ReadTM Digital Thermometer features a long life, mercury free battery. When the “” appears in the lower right of the display, the battery is exhausted and needs replacing.

Slide the battery cap away from the unit and carefully remove the battery with a non-metallic pointed instrument.
Replace the battery with a 1.55V, L41 alkaline or SR41 silver oxide type or equivalent. Insert the new battery with the positive (+) side facing the display side of the unit.
Carefully slide the battery cap back into place, making sure that the cap is secure to protect the battery compartment from moisture.
Properly discard the old battery. Keep out of reach of young children, elderly and pets.

LIFETIME WARRANTY
Your VICKS® Speed-ReadTM Digital Thermometer is durable and manufactured for a lifetime of normal, household use. Following directions carefully will ensure years of dependable operation. If for any reason (other than misuse or normal battery replacement) you are dissatisfied with your VICKS® Speed-ReadTM Digital Thermometer, we will repair or replace it, at our option, free during your lifetime.

If the thermometer does not function properly, first check the battery. Replace if necessary. If repair is necessary call our Consumer Service Department at 1-800-477-0457, email us at [email protected], or write to KAZ Thermometer Service Department, P.O.

VICKS V925P-A Digital Pacifier Thermometer User Manual

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Congratulations on your purchase of the Vicks® Digital Pacifier Thermometer. Please read these instructions carefully to ensure accurate temperatures and safe operation. When used properly, this high quality product will give you years of accurate, dependable service.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: The Vicks Pacifier Thermometer is intended for use with children from birth to age 5.

THIS UNIT IS A MEDICAL DEVICE and is not designed for use as a regular pacifier. Store out of reach of children. Do not let children play with the unit. TEMPERATURE SHOULD BE TAKEN UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION.
Any pacifier wears out. TO PREVENT POSSIBLE CHOKING HAZARD, test the strength of the nipple by pulling on the bulb portion before each use.
Examine the pacifier bulb before each use for cracks, tears, tackiness or other signs of wear. Discard a worn unit immediately.
Components may be harmful if swallowed. Contact your physician immediately should this occur.
FOR ORAL USE ONLY. Do not measure temperature at any other site.
The thermometer nipple comes in one size (medium) intended to fit most mouth sizes. Please gauge your child’s mouth size and the nipple size prior to thermometer use. A child using a nipple that is too large has an increased risk of choking.
Do not attempt to disassemble the unit. There are no user serviceable parts inside. The battery is not replaceable. When the battery is almost exhausted, the following symbol will appear in the display window () indicating the unit should be discarded. Do not use as a regular pacifier after the battery is discharged. To protect the environment, dispose of the thermometer at appropriate collection sites according to national or local regulations. Keep out of reach of young children, elderly and pets.
Do not wash the unit with any thinner or chemical solvent.
Do not store unit in direct sunlight or at high temperature.

Overview

TEMPERATURE READINGS

This pacifier is for oral use only. Oral temperature readings are often approximately 0.2°F lower than rectal readings and 0.9°F higher than axillary (under the arm) readings.

Temperature readings vary from child to child. Although there is no singular ‘normal’ temperature reading, a temperature taken orally ranging between 97°F and 100°F is considered normal. Your child’s physician should be consulted to determine what temperature range the physician considers to be normal.

The best method to determine your child’s normal temperature is to use the thermometer when the child is feeling well. Record readings twice a day (early morning and late afternoon). Take the average of the two temperatures to calculate a normal body temperature.

OPERATING YOUR VICKS PACIFIER THERMOMETER:

Press the power button. The display will read (188.8 ) confirming that the display is working.
If you hold the on/off button, the unit will display the last temperature reading.
Release the power button and the display will show L°F with °F flashing. When the temperature reading reaches 90.0°F or more, the display will show an actual temperature.
Position the pacifier bulb in child’s mouth. Note: Drinking or eating prior to use may affect reading. Measurement should be taken one half hour after eating or drinking.
Once the degree sign (°F) on the display has stopped flashing (approx. 2 minutes), the beeper will sound 10 times, indicating that the temperature is ready to read. This reading reflects the oral temperature of the child.
Note It is recommended that the thermometer be left in the child’s mouth for 6-8 minutes to allow the nipple to warm up and to obtain a more accurate reading. This is required if the child does not pacify without interruption.
Press the power button to turn the unit off. In the event that you forget, the thermometer will automatically turn off after 10 minutes.
Repeat this procedure as necessary if pacifying is interrupted during use.

TO RECALL THE LAST TEMPERATURE:

Press and hold the power button while turning on the unit. The last measured temperature will be shown in the LCD display with the letter “M” shown under the degree sign in approximately 3 seconds.
Release the power button. The thermometer will be in “ready-to-measure” mode and the recalled temperature will be erased. Note: If the device is switched off before completion of temperature taking, L°F will appear in memory the next time the unit is used.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS:

Clean the pacifier thermometer by wiping it with soap and warm water or rubbing alcohol (70% isopropyl alcohol).
Wipe dry with soft cloth. Cover thermometer with the storage case included and store in dry location.
Store your thermometer in a dry location free from dust and contamination and away from direct sunlight.
Note Do not boil or clean in a 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.

SPECIFICATIONS:

Battery Life	More than 200 hours of continuous operation.	Test Protocol (Laboratory use only)
Accuracy	+/-0.2°F between 98.0-102.0°F at room temperature of 71°F.	Place thermometer into a stable liquid bath with a temperature set above 95°F. The nipple of the thermometer should be approximately 2cm below the surface.
Temperature Range	90.0° – 109.0°F. If less that 90.0°F an “L” is displayed. If more than 109.0°F an “H” is displayed.	Wait for 90 seconds, then turn thermometer on by pressing the blue On / Off button. The thermometer is now in standard mode.
Beeper	Unit will beep for approximately 8 seconds when peak temperature is reached.	When the measurement is completed (approximately 2 minutes), record the temperature reading.

Cover the thermometer’s tip with a probe cover and lubricate with a water-soluble jelly for easier insertion. Do not use a petroleum jelly. Read the label of the lubricant to be sure you are using the right kind.
Lay the patient on his/her side. If the patient is an infant, the proper position for a baby is to lay on its stomach with legs hanging down, either across your knees or at the edge of a bed or changing table. This positions the infant’s rectum for safe and easy insertion of the thermometer.
Gently insert the tip of the thermometer NO MORE THAN 1/2 inch into the rectum. If you detect resistance, stop. Hold the thermometer in place during measurement.
When the peak temperature is reached (usually 60 seconds) a beep signal will sound and the “°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 1° higher 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 10 minutes.
Dispose of used probe cover and wash the thermometer as recommended.

TO RECALL THE LAST TEMPERATURE

When the thermometer is turned on, continue to hold the button down approximately 2 seconds. The last measured temperature will be shown in the LCD display with the letter “M” shown under the degree sign for approximately 3 seconds.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Clean the thermometer by washing with soap and warm water or rubbing alcohol (70% isopropyl alcohol).
Wipe dry with soft cloth.
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.

CHANGING THE BATTERIES

The VICKS® Digital Thermometer features a long life, mercury free battery. When the “/” appears in the lower right of the display, the battery is exhausted and needs replacing.

Slide the battery cap away from the unit and carefully remove the battery with a non-metallic pointed instrument.
Replace the battery with a 1.55V, L41 alkaline or SR41 silver oxide type or equivalent. Insert the new battery with the positive (+) side facing the display side of the unit.
Carefully slide the battery cap back into place, making sure that the cap is secure to protect the battery compartment from moisture.
Properly discard the old battery. Keep out of reach of young children, elderly and pets.
