Introduction
The Omron MC-246 Digital Thermometer provides quick, accurate, and safe readings for oral, rectal, and underarm temperature measurements. It eliminates concerns associated with broken glass or mercury thermometers.
Product Features
The thermometer includes a beeper, memory function, auto-off feature, and comes with a protective case. Probe covers are to be replaced after each use.
Important Safety Information
High or prolonged fever requires medical attention, especially for young children. Readings can be affected by factors such as physical exertion or ingestion of hot/cold substances. Users are cautioned against self-diagnosis and children should use the device under supervision. The thermometer should not be used when wet, disassembled, nor around mobile phones or strong electromagnetic fields. It should be stored out of children’s reach.
Operation Instructions
When using, ensure the room temperature is 23°C, as environment can affect the buzzer timing. For oral use, keep the mouth closed several minutes prior to taking a measurement. Rectal measurements should be done carefully with the probe covered and not forced. Underarm measurements require that the probe is placed centrally and held firmly in place.
Reading Measurements
The thermometer provides a signal when it is ready and another when the measurement is complete, accompanied by three beeps. It stores the last temperature automatically and turns off after 30 minutes, or manually to save battery.
Switching Between Units
Switching between Celsius and Fahrenheit is done by holding the power button until a beep is heard. The device also includes an error display system for temperatures out of range, recommending actions for troubleshooting.
Maintenance
To ensure accuracy and longevity, keep the thermometer clean and store it in the protective case in a cool, dry place. Do not use harsh solvents and avoid long immersion in alcohol or hot water above 50°C.
Specifications & Battery Replacement
The MC-246 model has specific temperature measurement ranges and accuracy, uses type ‘O’ protection against electric shock, and an Alkaline-Manganese Button Battery (LR41). An indicator notifies when the battery needs to be replaced, and instructions are provided for correct installation.
By following these instructions, users can ensure correct and safe operation of the Omron MC-246 Digital Thermometer for accurate temperature measurements.
