INTRODUCTION  
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.

BATTERY INSTALLATION/  
REPLACEMENT  
To install or replace the battery:  
1. Remove the battery cover by sliding  
it off the back of thermometer.  
The thermometer uses  
one 9-volt alkaline battery.  
2. Disconnect the old battery by holding the connector in one  
hand and the battery in the other hand and gently pull the  
connector off the battery.  
Note: Do not pull the battery to disconnect.  
It will damage the thermometer.  
3. Firmly attach the new or replacement battery  
to the connector.  
4. Carefully connect  
battery to the  
“positive” connector  
first; then to the  
“negative” connector.  
5. Slide the battery  
cover back into place.

HOW TO TAKE A MEASUREMENT  
General Instructions  
A. Remain still and quiet during measurement.  
B. Accuracy of reading depends on the proper placement  
of the thermometer.  
C. Apply a new probe cover before each use.  
D. Thermometer is to be turned off before attempting  
to repeat process.There should be one minute intervals  
between taking temperature.  
E. The thermometer will automatically shut off in one  
minute after use.  
Operation Instructions  
1. Place the probe cover on the probe so that it fits snug  
from the probe tip to the top of the display.  
Note: Improper application of probe cover may  
cause inaccurate reading.  
2. Press the ON/Off button until you hear one beep.  
All symbols and number segments will be displayed.  
3. The result of previous reading will be displayed for  
2 seconds. The “hourglass” symbol indicates that the  
thermometer is preparing for use.  
4. Do not attempt to take temperature until the “hourglass”  
symbol disappears in 5-10 seconds and two beeps  
are heard. This indicates that the thermometer  
is ready for use.  
5. To change the selected measurement method, simply  
push the mode selecting button. The measurement  
method will be indicated on the display by an arrow  
pointing at the chosen measurement method.

HOW TO TAKE A MEASUREMENT  
Oral Method:  
A. Place the probe under the tongue next  
to the lower molar teeth.  
B. Gently press the probe downward with  
the tongue and close mouth.  
Axillary (underarm) Method:  
A. Make sure the armpit had been closed.  
B. Place probe in a clean dry armpit  
area with clothing removed in the  
arm and chest area where the  
thermometer will function.  
C. Place probe into armpit area  
pointing upward direction assuring  
it is completely surrounded by skin.  
D. Gently press the probe  
in a upward motion.  
E. Gently hold arm close to body to assure  
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.  
7. Temperature will be displayed after a long beep is heard.  
8. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the thermometer off.

HOW TO TAKE MEASUREMENT  
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.

DISPLAY MESSAGES  
The thermometer has been designed to display feedback messages  
to ensure proper usage and accurate measurement. In the event  
of a malfunction or incorrect measurement, the following  
messages will be displayed:  
Displayed  
Cause  
The measured temperature is below 95°F (35°C)  
or above 107.6°F (42°C).  
Instructions  
1. Check correlation between the selected mode icon  
and the actual measurement location used.  
2. Turn the unit OFF and then ON again.  
3. Retake temperature using the proper technique  
for oral, axillary, and rectal method.  
4. Any of the methods may be used for accuracy  
depending on individual circumstances.  
Cause 1  
Displayed

Operating temperature range is 50-104°F (10-40°C)  
Cause 2  
The thermometer was placed in the measurement  
method before the “hourglass” symbol disappeared  
and before two “Beeps” were heard.  
Instructions  
1. Bring the thermometer to a room where the temperature is between 50°F  
and 104°F (10°C and 40°C). Thermometer should be allowed to stabilize  
at room temperature for at least 45 minutes.  
2. Wait at least one minute and then turn the thermometer ON again.  
3. Wait for the “hourglass” symbol to disappear and two “beeps”  
to be heard.
