1. THIS IS NOT AN EAR THERMOMETER Temperature may

only be taken by 3 methods: oral, underarm, and rectal.

2. For hygienic purposes, Omron recommends applying a probe

cover during each use. (Probe covers sold separately)

3. Use ONLY OMRON probe cover (model 600PROBECAN)

at any of the three stated measurement sites.

4. Do not use this thermometer near combustible agents.

5. Never use an abrasive cleanser.

6. THE THERMOMETER IS NOT WATER RESISTANT!

7. Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature that

is not in direct sunlight.

8. When storing use the Protective Display Cover to reduce

the chance of scratching the display screen and protect

the sensor tip from damage.

CAUTIONS

MC-600 English 5/20/02 2:02 PM Page 4

Thank you for purchasing the 3-Way Instant Thermometer.

The 3-Way Instant Thermometer is based on the new patented

R.A.T.E.™ (Rapid, Active, Temperature, Establishment)

technology. R.A.T.E.™ technology enables accurate temperature

measurement in 4-6 seconds typically in the oral, rectal,

or under arm modes when ambient temperature is between

50°F and 93.2°F (10°C and 34°C).

How does it work?

R.A.T.E.™ measures heat flow from blood vessels to the

skin, converting it instantly to a readable body temperature.

It is clinically proven accurate. The 3-Way Instant Thermometer

can easily and safely be used by all ages. There is no fear

of broken glass or mercury poisoning that can occur

with glass thermometers.

Temperature 3-Ways?

The three traditional ways to take a temperature; oral, underarm

and rectal are now easier, safer, and faster by using the 3-Way

Instant Thermometer. In comparison, glass thermometers can

take as long as 3 minutes to achieve a reading and can break

which could cause mercury poisoning. Digital thermometers

can range from 1 to 2 minutes. Too long to wait when a child

is screaming. You want to take a quick temperature...with the

speed nearly as quick as an ear thermometer and with the

accuracy of the glass thermometer. That is the Omron 3-Way

Instant Thermometer.

INTRODUCTION

MC-600 English 5/20/02 2:02 PM Page 5

The 3-Way Instant Thermometer is hospital tested and meets

the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

accuracy requirement specified in ASTM standard E1112

when used under normal operating conditions.

Please read this instruction manual completely before

using your 3-Way Instant Thermometer. If you have

proper placement and accurate function.

Rectal Method:

A. It is recommended to use a probe cover lubricated with

water soluble jelly.

B. Gently slide the sensor tip of the thermometer no more

than 1/2” (1.2 cm) into the rectum. DO NOT USE IF

ANY RESISTANCE IS NOTED. Remove and repeat this

step or take a measurement at an alternate site.

6. A running circle will appear indicating that measurement

is in progress.

HOW TO TAKE A MEASUREMENT

MC-600 English 5/20/02 2:02 PM Page 10

Changing Scale Between (C°) and (F°).

The Thermometer can display temperature in either Centigrade

or Fahrenheit. To change the scale, follow the instructions below:

1. Start with the thermometer

turned off.

2. Simultaneously, press and hold the

mode and the on/off buttons until

a “Beep” is heard. Release buttons

after the beep. The display will first

show the previously used scale and

then the new one.

3. When the “hourglass” symbol

disappears, the thermometer

is ready to measure by the

selected measurement scale.

NOTE: If thermometer is turned off before a measurement is taken after the scale

change, the scale will revert to the one last used.

Operation in a Warm Environment

In a warm environment (ambient temperature over 34°C / 93.2°F), the

thermometer may measure in a different operation mode (monitoring mode).

In that case, please follow the instruction below.

1. Following the thermometer premeasurement preparation if you see

a temperature value on the display, instead of a running circle, the

thermometer is operating in the monitoring mode.

2. The “body site” icon and the “C° or F°” indicator will begin to blink

and a short beep will be heard every 10 seconds to indicate that the

measurement is in progress.

3. When a long beep is heard, the process is complete and the temperature

will be displayed in “C” or “F”.

NOTE: A measurement by the monitoring mode typically takes 2 minutes.
