Question
Do I get a different
temperature reading with
the soother thermometer
than with the digital
flexible-tip thermometer?
What does the battery
symbol on the display of the
thermometers mean?
Can I replace the batteries of
the thermometers myself?
What does the 'Err' indication
on the display mean?
What does 'Lo' or 'Hi' on the
display mean?
The thermometer beeps
when it has finished
measuring. What do these
beeps mean?
Answer
Since oral temperature is slightly lower than actual body
temperature, the soother thermometer gives a reading that
is 0.5 to 1°C lower than that of the flexible-tip
thermometer.
If the display shows a battery symbol, the battery is empty
and needs to be replaced. Only the battery of the flexible-
tip thermometer can be replaced. The battery of the
soother thermometer cannot be replaced, and the soother
thermometer must be discarded when the battery is
empty.
You can replace the battery of the flexible-tip
thermometer yourself. For instructions on how to replace
this battery, see chapter 'Replacing the battery'. The battery
of the soother thermometer cannot be replaced.
When this battery is empty, the soother thermometer
must be discarded.
The 'Err' indication can appear on the display of both
the flexible-tip thermometer and the soother
thermometer and means that there is a malfunction. Press
the on/off button to switch off the thermometer, then
press the on/off button again to switch on the
thermometer. Proceed to measure the temperature as
usual.
The 'Lo'or 'Hi' indications on the display mean that the
temperature cannot be measured because the
temperature is outside the temperature range. Press the
on/off button to switch off the thermometer. Check if the
thermometer is correctly positioned. Press the on/off
button again to switch on the thermometer and restart the
measurement.
When you measure your baby's temperature, there are 2
different types of beeps that sound once the temperature
has been measured. These beeps are the same for
the flexible-tip thermometer and for the soother
thermometer. When the thermometer gives 10 beeps in
10 seconds, the measured temperature is normal, i.e. below
37.8°C. When it gives 3 sets of short beeps in 10 seconds,
this indicates possible fever, i.e. the measured temperature
is above 37.8°C.
