4. Einrichtung

The Omron MC-687 thermometer comes with a test battery pre-installed, making it ready for immediate use. No initial setup is typically required beyond removing it from its packaging.

4.1 Erstprüfung

1. Remove the thermometer from its storage case.
2. Press the power button. The display should light up, showing the last measured temperature or a default reading.
3. If the display does not light up, refer to the Troubleshooting section for battery replacement instructions.

5. Bedienungsanleitung

5.1 Messung durchführen

1. Drücken Sie den Netzschalter, um das Thermometer einzuschalten.
2. Place the sensing tip of the thermometer firmly in the armpit (axillary measurement). Ensure good skin contact.
3. Hold the thermometer in place. The device will begin a predictive measurement.
4. After approximately 15 seconds, a buzzer will sound, and the predictive temperature will be displayed. This is a quick estimate of your body temperature.
5. To obtain a more precise, actual measurement, continue holding the thermometer in place after the predictive reading. The thermometer will automatically switch to actual measurement mode.
6. The actual measurement for axillary use typically takes about 10 minutes. A longer buzzer sound will indicate the completion of the actual measurement.
7. Remove the thermometer and read the final temperature displayed.
8. Press the power button to turn off the thermometer, or it will automatically power off after a period of inactivity.

5.2 Understanding Predictive vs. Actual Measurement

The Omron MC-687 offers two measurement modes:

• Predictive Measurement: This mode quickly estimates your body temperature in about 15 seconds by analyzing the initial temperature rise. It uses Omron's proprietary algorithm to predict the temperature you would reach after a longer period.
• Actual Measurement: This mode continues to measure until your body temperature stabilizes (reaches equilibrium). This provides the most accurate reading. For axillary measurement, this typically takes about 10 minutes.

5.3 Speicherfunktion

The thermometer automatically stores the last measured temperature. To recall the last reading, simply press the power button when the device is off. The stored temperature will be displayed briefly before the thermometer enters measurement mode.

6. Wartung

6.1 Reinigung

After each use, clean the thermometer probe with a soft cloth dampened with alcohol or mild soap and water. Do not immerse the entire thermometer in water or use harsh chemical cleaners.

6.2 Speicherung

Store the thermometer in its protective case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep it out of reach of children.

6.3 Batteriewechsel

When the battery indicator appears on the display, it is time to replace the battery. The thermometer uses one CR1220 alkaline button battery.

1. Suchen Sie die Batterieabdeckung auf der Rückseite des Thermometers.
2. Verwenden Sie eine kleine Münze oder einen Schraubendreher, um die Batterieabdeckung zu öffnen.
3. Nehmen Sie die alte Batterie heraus und setzen Sie eine neue CR1220-Batterie mit der positiven Seite (+) nach oben ein.
4. Replace the battery cover and secure it tightly.

7. Fehlerbehebung

• No display when powered on: Check if the battery is correctly inserted or needs replacement.
• "Lo" displayed: This indicates a temperature below the measurable range (32.0°C). Ensure proper contact with the body.
• „Fehler“ wird angezeigt: This indicates a measurement error. Ensure the thermometer is used correctly and within its operating temperature range. Try taking the measurement again.
• Ungenaue Messwerte: Ensure the thermometer probe is clean and positioned correctly. Avoid taking measurements immediately after strenuous activity, bathing, or eating.
