4.1 Using the Pacifier Thermometer
- Ensure the pacifier thermometer is clean and dry.
- Press the power button to turn on the thermometer. A brief display test will show all segments, followed by the last measured temperature or 'Lo' if the ambient temperature is below the measurement range.
- Place the pacifier in your baby's mouth, ensuring the nipple is fully inserted and the baby is sucking on it.
- Keep the pacifier in the baby's mouth until the temperature reading stabilizes. This usually takes a few minutes. The display will show the measured temperature.
- Read the temperature displayed. Note: The thermometer displays temperature in Celsius only and cannot be changed to Fahrenheit.
- Press the power button again to turn off the thermometer, or it will automatically shut off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery.

- Carefully reattach the pacifier thermometer to the filled medicine dispenser cup, ensuring a secure fit.
- Place the pacifier in your baby's mouth. As the baby sucks, the medicine will be dispensed through the nipple.
- Ensure the baby consumes the full dose.
- After administration, disassemble and clean both parts immediately.
