Summer Infant 3180 - Manual (Page 7)

1. Connect the right probe for the measuring site you would like to take
the temperature of before turning on the device by connecting probe
to probe handle.
2. Turn on the device and it automatically displays all segments, last
reading and check circuit before it is ready for measurement
3. Oral measurement
When correctly used your thermometer is able to accurately measure
the temperature in the mouth in approximately 6 seconds.
Note: Among other things the measured temperature is dependent
on the position of the measuring tip in the mouth. The most accurate
temperature is obtained in the warming pockets to the left and right
next to the frenumum of the tongue. Breathing through the mouth and
taking food and drinks directly prior to measurement also influences
the temperature values obtained by oral measurement.
b. Keep the measuring tip in permanent contact with the mucous
membrane of the mouth during the entire measuring process.
Holding the measuring tip still guarantees rapid and accurate
measurement.
4. For underarm measurement
When correctly used your thermometer is able to measure the tem-
perature in the underarm in approximately 6 seconds.
a. Wipe underarm with a dry towel
b. Place probe tip in armpit and bring arm down against the body. The
probe should be pointing upward in the same direction as your body
if possible.
a. Carefully introduce the measuring tip in
the slightly opened mouth of the patient.
When doing so the measuring tip must be
positioned as Instantly as possible in one of
the two warming pockets to the left or right
next to the frenulum of the tongue. Now lightly
close the lips around the measuring tip.

Error detection Error detection 1. The device detects
problem on the circuit.

The 3 in 1 Family Thermometer can display temperature
measurements in either Fahrenheit or Celsius.
To switch the scale from °C to °F or vise versa, press the O/I button for
more than 3 seconds, and the unit is changed from °C to °F, then the
device enters to measuring mode automatically.
Your 3 in 1 Family Thermometer will always attempt first to calculate
the temperature with the predictive technology in Prediction mode.
If correct measurement in the Prediction mode is repeatedly
impossible (e.g. failure to position the probe adequately) the
instrument automatically switches to Regular mode.
In this mode the temperature is determined as with a conventional
digital medical thermometer by extending the measuring time.
