Safety 1st easy read forehead thermometer celsius to fahrenheit

There’s nothing worse than when you have a sick child and you aren’t sure what’s wrong with them. A quality forehead thermometer tops the list of baby essentials that you must keep on hand at your home. A hand to a baby’s forehead is not a reliable way to determine whether or not your child has a fever. Yes, you may be able to tell that they feel warmer than usual but you won’t know the level of a fever that a forehead thermometer can provide. The Safety 1st Easy Read Forehead Thermometer is a digital thermometer that takes your baby’s temperature in one second and provides an accurate reading with the click of a button.

Safety 1st Easy Read Forehead Thermometer

The Safety 1st Easy Read Forehead Thermometer is a stress-free, no touch temperature thermometer. Within just one second after pressing the button, the temperature will display on the easy to read screen. If your baby has a high temperature, the fever light bar will glow to indicate that the child has an elevated temperature over 99.6 degrees Fahrenheit. For parents that like to keep track of their child’s temperature, you can utilize this thermometer’s memory recall that will allow you to look back on the last 25 readings that were taken to evaluate the progress of your child’s condition.

If your child is taking a nap or is down for the night, this forehead thermometer also has a feature allowing you to use the backlight and mute function to take your child’s temperature while they are sleeping without waking them up. The auto-shut off feature will help conserve the battery life of the thermometer so you don’t have to worry about making sure it is turned off after every use.

The Safety 1st Easy Read Thermometer also works on taking the temperature of liquids allowing you to gauge if certain liquids are at an appropriate and safe temperature for your child. Finally there is no more guessing if your baby’s bath water is too warm or if their bottle of formula is too hot to drink.

How to Use Safety 1st Easy Read Thermometer

Line up the red LED dots directly on your child’s forehead.
When the dots are directly over one another that will indicate that the thermometer is at the right distance.
Press the read button.
Listen for the beep to know the reading is complete.
Use the wait reminder to know when the thermometer is ready for a second reading.

Normal Body Temperature

Temperature readings are different from person to person and also vary depending

upon the body location from which the temperature is measured. Forehead

temperatures tend to be comparable to oral temperatures and approximately 1˚ lower

than rectal temperatures for the same individual. Temperature readings are affected

by many factors including exercise, drinking hot or cold beverages prior to taking a

reading as well as technique.

"Normal" temperature refers to each individual's average temperature while healthy.

You may want to measure and record your child's temperature a few times when he

or she is well, so that you will know what is normal for your own child. On average,

temperature ranges are as follows:

How to Measure Temperature

1. Turn Thermometer On and Prep Forehead

Press and release the ON/MEMORY button. Thermometer runs a brief self-check, then beeps and displays the ready screen. The unit will default to FOREHEAD

MODE. POSITION LIGHTS at front of unit come on automatically. Prep the forehead by making sure it is clear of hair and sweat. If child has recently been in a very

warm or very cold environment, wait a few minutes for their skin to adjust to room temperature before taking their temp.

The POSITION LIGHTS are LED lights and are meant to help you feel confident about how you are aiming and distancing the unit.

-AIMING: The SENSOR LENS points at the area of the forehead between the two red POSITION LIGHTS. The right spot to aim the SENSOR LENS is

2. Position Thermometer

at the base of the forehead, just above the eyebrows. So, when properly positioned, the LOWER POSITION LIGHT should be between the eyebrows.

-DISTANCE: For accurate temperatures, the unit should be within 1.5 inches (4 cm) of the forehead. When the unit is 1.5 inches from the forehead,

the UPPER POSITIONING LIGHT will be directly above the LOWER POSITIONING LIGHT (vertically.) When closer or farther away, the lights move

away from each other in opposite directions.

Hint: If a child is uncomfortable seeing the thermometer coming toward his face, try turning the thermometer upside-down.

The POSITIONING LIGHTS work the same when the thermometer is upside down.

3. Measure Temperature

Once unit is positioned, press and hold the READ TRIGGER button on the rear of the thermometer for about 1 second or until the screen lights up, displays

temperature reading, and beeps (if not in mute mode.)

4. Fever Reading Indicator

The unit gives one long beep when temp is in normal range. Thermometer gives additional beeps and the fever bar lights up when elevated temp is detected.

NOTE: High, prolonged fever requires medical attention, especially for young children. Please contact your physician. Fever chart included.

5. Wait timer &

After a reading is complete, the WAIT icon will flash for 5 seconds. After those 5 seconds are complete, the unit will return to READY mode. Thermometer beeps

Auto Shut-Off

and shuts off automatically after about 30 seconds in READY mode.

This thermometer can also be used to take no-touch temperatures of liquids like bath water and milk/formula. Unit defaults into FOREHEAD MODE every time

6. Liquid Mode

you turn it on. To switch to LIQUID MODE, simply press the MODE button on the handle of the thermometer. NOTE: To return to FOREHEAD MODE, press MODE

button again. NOTE: Once in LIQUID MODE, positioning lights and fever bar are no longer needed.
