IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: The Vicks Pacifier Thermometer is intended for use with children from birth to age 5.

THIS UNIT IS A MEDICAL DEVICE and is not designed for use as a regular pacifier. Store out of reach of children. Do not let children play with the unit. TEMPERATURE SHOULD BE TAKEN UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION.
Any pacifier wears out. TO PREVENT POSSIBLE CHOKING HAZARD, test the strength of the nipple by pulling on the bulb portion before each use.
Examine the pacifier bulb before each use for cracks, tears, tackiness or other signs of wear. Discard a worn unit immediately.
Components may be harmful if swallowed. Contact your physician immediately should this occur.
FOR ORAL USE ONLY. Do not measure temperature at any other site.
The thermometer nipple comes in one size (medium) intended to fit most mouth sizes. Please gauge your child’s mouth size and the nipple size prior to thermometer use. A child using a nipple that is too large has an increased risk of choking.
Do not attempt to disassemble the unit. There are no user serviceable parts inside. The battery is not replaceable. When the battery is almost exhausted, the following symbol will appear in the display window () indicating the unit should be discarded. Do not use as a regular pacifier after the battery is discharged. To protect the environment, dispose of the thermometer at appropriate collection sites according to national or local regulations. Keep out of reach of young children, elderly and pets.
Do not wash the unit with any thinner or chemical solvent.
Do not store unit in direct sunlight or at high temperature.

Overview

TEMPERATURE READINGS

This pacifier is for oral use only. Oral temperature readings are often approximately 0.2°F lower than rectal readings and 0.9°F higher than axillary (under the arm) readings.

Temperature readings vary from child to child. Although there is no singular ‘normal’ temperature reading, a temperature taken orally ranging between 97°F and 100°F is considered normal. Your child’s physician should be consulted to determine what temperature range the physician considers to be normal.

The best method to determine your child’s normal temperature is to use the thermometer when the child is feeling well. Record readings twice a day (early morning and late afternoon). Take the average of the two temperatures to calculate a normal body temperature.

OPERATING YOUR VICKS PACIFIER THERMOMETER:

Press the power button. The display will read (188.8 ) confirming that the display is working.
If you hold the on/off button, the unit will display the last temperature reading.
Release the power button and the display will show L°F with °F flashing. When the temperature reading reaches 90.0°F or more, the display will show an actual temperature.
Position the pacifier bulb in child’s mouth. Note: Drinking or eating prior to use may affect reading. Measurement should be taken one half hour after eating or drinking.
Once the degree sign (°F) on the display has stopped flashing (approx. 2 minutes), the beeper will sound 10 times, indicating that the temperature is ready to read. This reading reflects the oral temperature of the child.
Note It is recommended that the thermometer be left in the child’s mouth for 6-8 minutes to allow the nipple to warm up and to obtain a more accurate reading. This is required if the child does not pacify without interruption.
Press the power button to turn the unit off. In the event that you forget, the thermometer will automatically turn off after 10 minutes.
Repeat this procedure as necessary if pacifying is interrupted during use.

TO RECALL THE LAST TEMPERATURE:

Press and hold the power button while turning on the unit. The last measured temperature will be shown in the LCD display with the letter “M” shown under the degree sign in approximately 3 seconds.
Release the power button. The thermometer will be in “ready-to-measure” mode and the recalled temperature will be erased. Note: If the device is switched off before completion of temperature taking, L°F will appear in memory the next time the unit is used.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS:

Clean the pacifier thermometer by wiping it with soap and warm water or rubbing alcohol (70% isopropyl alcohol).
Wipe dry with soft cloth. Cover thermometer with the storage case included and store in dry location.
Store your thermometer in a dry location free from dust and contamination and away from direct sunlight.
Note Do not boil or clean in a dishwasher. This will cause the thermometer to no longer function and will void the warranty. Do not wash the unit with any thinner or chemical solvent.
