5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Taking a Measurement
- Press the power button to turn on the thermometer. A short beep will sound, and the display will show the last measured temperature for approximately 2 seconds.
- After the last reading, the display will show "Lo" with a flashing "℉" or "℃", indicating the thermometer is ready for measurement.
- Place the thermometer in the desired measurement position (oral, rectal, or underarm).
- The measurement is complete when a series of beeps sounds and the temperature reading stops flashing.
- Remove the thermometer and read the temperature.
- Press the power button to turn off the thermometer, or it will automatically shut off after approximately 10 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life.
5.2 Measurement Methods
The Femometer Digital Thermometer can be used for oral, rectal, or underarm temperature measurement.
Image 5.1: The thermometer is suitable for various measurement sites including oral, rectal, and underarm, catering to babies, children, and adults.
- Oral Use: Place the probe tip under the tongue as close as possible to the heat pocket. Keep the mouth closed during measurement.
- Rectal Use: Lubricate the probe tip with a water-soluble jelly. Gently insert the tip no more than 1/2 inch into the rectum. This method is generally used for infants and young children.
- Underarm (Axillary) Use: Place the probe tip in the armpit and press the arm firmly against the body. This method is less accurate than oral or rectal measurements.

- Press the power button to turn on the thermometer.
- The last measured temperature will be displayed for approximately 2 seconds before showing "Lo" and flashing.
5.5 Fever Alert
The thermometer includes a fever alert feature. If the measured temperature exceeds a certain threshold (typically 37.8℃ / 100℉), a rapid series of beeps will sound to indicate a fever.
