Dual Scale Digital Thermometer

MODEL 2214

ID#  ACT05/03

The  Lumiscope  2214  Fast  Read  Dual  Scale  Digital  Thermometer  with  Soft  Flexible  Tip  accurately
measures temperature 6 times quicker then most digital thermometers. The compact, lightweight design is
durable and waterproof and features an easy-to-read display-ideal for use by the whole family.

To change from ºC to ºF or vice versa-while the thermometer is OFF, press the on/off button once then
immediately press and hold the on/off button again until the mode changes.

To  ensure  an  accurate  temperature  reading,  avoid  eating,  drinking  any  liquids,  exercising,  bathing  or
smoking for 15 minutes before taking a measurement.
1. Disinfect the thermometer probe with ethyl (rubbing) alcohol. Place a probe cover over the tip of the

thermometer.  Press the on/off button. The display will show 

   

     

(or          ) followed by

     

.    If

 

         

appears instead, the thermometer has malfunctioned and must be repaired or replaced.

2. The  display  will  now  read        (or          )  with  a  blinking  ºF  (or  ºC)  and  the  unit  is  now  ready  for

measurement. Place the probe in the desired measurement location (oral, under arm, rectal).

3. Once the ºF (or ºC) has stopped blinking, the peak temperature has been reached and a beeper will

sound for approx. 4 seconds.

4. After reading the measurement, turn the thermometer off, dispose of the used probe cover and clean

the thermometer. If the thermometer is accidentally left on, it will automatically shut off after 10 minutes.

5. Children  should  always  be  supervised  by  an  adult  during  the  measurement  process.  After  use,  the

thermometer should be stored in a safe place, out of the reach of children.

NOTE: If the measured temperature is higher or lower than the thermometer’s measuring range,       the

display will read    

      

(or           )

  

or    

      

(or           ).

NOTE: Using a probe cover may result in a 0.2ºF (0.1ºC) difference from actual temperature.

ORAL USE (approx. 10-20 seconds)
Place  the  probe  tip  well  under  the  tongue.    The  mouth  should  remain  closed  during  measurement  to
ensure an accurate temperature reading. Do not bend or bite the probe while it is in the mouth. A normal
temperature by this method is 98.6ºF (37ºC).

UNDER ARM USE (approx. 15-25 seconds)
Wipe the armpit with a dry towel. Place the probe tip under the armpit and keep the arm firmly pressed
against the body during measurement to ensure an accurate temperature reading.  A normal temperature
by this method is 97.6ºF (36.7ºC).

RECTAL USE (approx. 10-15 seconds)
If your doctor recommends a rectal temperature, place a probe cover over the tip of the thermometer and
lubricate the probe with a water-soluble jelly for easier insertion. Do not use petroleum jelly. Gently insert
the tip of the probe NO MORE than 1/2 inch into the rectum. STOP if you meet any resistance.  Hold the
thermometer  in  place  during  measurement  to  ensure  an  accurate  temperature  reading.    A  normal
temperature by this method is 99.6ºF (37.6ºC).

REMEMBER: Temperature readings vary from person to person and thermometer to thermometer. Find
your normal temperature and watch for changes. If you compare readings between two thermometers, it is
possible to have two different readings even if both thermometers are within their accuracy ranges.

While the thermometer is OFF, press and hold the on/off button for approx. 2 seconds. The last temperature
measured will be displayed along with the letter “M” under the degree (º) sign.

Clean the thermometer by washing with soap and warm water or rubbing alcohol. Do not use thinners or
chemical solvents to clean.  Wipe dry with a soft cloth. Do not boil or clean the probe in the dishwasher, this
will cause the unit to malfunction and will void the warranty.

1. When the      

    

 symbol appears the battery needs to be replaced.

2. Slide  the  battery  cover  off  in  the  direction  shown.  Use  a  toothpick  or  insulated  probe  to  remove  the

battery. Do not use any kind of sharp metal object to remove the battery.

3. Place  a  new  1.5V  battery  in  the  chamber.  Insert  the  battery  with  the  positive  (-)  side  up  and  the

negative (+) side down (facing the LCD display).

4. Slide the battery cover back onto the unit and make sure it is secure.
