Philips SCH540 - Manual (Page 12)

Note: If for some reason the temperature cannot be measured, the display
shows ‘Lo’ or ‘Hi’. This means that the temperature is outside the temperature
range. Switch off the thermometer, check if it is correctly positioned and
switch it on again to restart the measurement.
7 Remove the thermometer and read the display.
8 Press the on/off button I to switch off the thermometer.
Note: Switch off thermometer after use to save battery power. If you do not
switch off the thermometer, it switches off automatically: after 1 minute if the
temperature measured is <32°C; or after 10 minutes if the temperature
measured is >32°C.
Measuring the temperature of older children
For older children and adults, the digital flexible-tip thermometer can also
be used to measure temperature orally (in the mouth) or axially (in the
armpit).
Do not use the flexible-tip thermometer for oral temperature
measurements on babies.
If the thermometer has been used rectally or in the armpit without
hygienic covers, do not use it for oral measurement anymore for
hygienic reasons, not even after cleaning.
