To switch to the Direct mode, touch

after the

Predictive mode measurement is acquired. The temperature
frame displays text indicating that the Direct mode is active.
The monitor sounds a tone to indicate the start of a Direct
measurement. Once you are in the Direct mode, continue to
separate the buttocks and hold the probe in place throughout
the measurement process.

The monitor does not retain Direct mode temperatures in
memory. Therefore, it is important to note the temperature
before removing the probe from the measurement site and
then manually record it in the patient record.

the eject button on the top of the probe to release the probe cover.
