3. Understanding Fever Alarms
The Reer Colour Softtemp thermometer provides both visual and acoustic fever indications:
- Visual Alarm: The display backlight changes color based on the temperature reading:
- Green: Temperature below 37.5°C (Normal)
- Orange: Temperature between 37.5°C and 37.9°C (Elevated)
- Red: Temperature above 37.9°C (Fever)
- Acoustic Alarm: An audible beep will sound if the measured body temperature is above 37°C.

4. Memory Function
The thermometer automatically stores the last 25 temperature readings. To access the memory:
- With the thermometer turned on, press the "MEM" button (if available, or the mode button repeatedly until memory mode is shown).
- Each press of the "MEM" button will cycle through the stored readings, from most recent to oldest.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Thermometer does not turn on. | Batteries are dead or incorrectly inserted. | Check battery polarity. Replace batteries. |
| Inaccurate readings. | Sensor lens is dirty; measurement distance is incorrect; ambient temperature fluctuations. | Clean the sensor lens. Ensure correct measurement distance (1-5 cm). Allow thermometer to acclimatize to room temperature for 30 minutes before use. |
| "Lo" or "Hi" displayed. | Temperature is outside the measurable range. | Ensure you are measuring within the specified temperature range for body or surface mode. |
| Display shows "Err". | System error or malfunction. | Remove and reinsert batteries. If error persists, contact customer support. |
