7. HOW TO CHANGE the SETTINGS
Depending on where it is going to be sold, your thermometer leaves the factory as
follows:
• preset to Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F)
• referred to oral (“ORAL”) or rectal (“RECTAL”) or axillary (“AXILLA”) or internal tem
-
perature readings (“CorE”) or only internal temperature readings (no symbol will be
shown);
• “NURS” mode, (highly recommended if used by nurses, in ambulances and for
any intensive use, such as in airports, factories, etc: “HOME” and “Mem” buttons are
disabled; MQCS is requested and mandatory every 30 minutes) or
“DOCT” mode, (suggested for doctors’ use: “HOME” and “Mem” buttons are en
-
abled; AQCS is automatic and MQCS is optional);
• ≥37.0°C (≥98.6°F), ≥37.5°C (≥99.5°F) or ≥38.0°C (≥100.4°F) temperature level
alarm: you can choose the temperature threshold beyond which the thermometer
alternates the projection of “Hi.2” and the temperature (for 7 seconds);
• memory function enabled (
MEM on) or disabled (MEM oFF);
• “air” function enabled (
AIR on) or disabled (AIR oFF): to be activated in case of
high air conditioning in the room, to minimize the cooling eect on the subject/patient.
If necessary, these settings can be modied as follows:
1. while the thermometer is o or in stand-by mode, press the “Mem”
button and
hold it down; after about 8 seconds the visualization on the display changes showing
in rotation the following combinations:
The current settings are highlighted by the green backlight.
2. When the new desired setting appears, release the button. The purple backlight will
turn green. Only one setting can be modied at a time.
Notes:
- The measurement of the body temperature must be taken always at the centre of the
forehead (par. #4.1) or at the eyelid (par. #4.2), no matter what the current setting is: in
fact, the axillary, oral, rectal or core settings provide a forehead temperature value that
is a valid approximation of the axillary, oral or rectal/internal temperature respectively
(see par. #3).
- if the thermometer was produced with the sole internal temperature setting, the
ORAL, RECTAL, AX-ILLA and CORE settings would not be available for changing.
- In some versions the DOCT setting is disabled; to enable it write to info@tecnimed.eu
and detail the new use, the reason for change and the serial number.
