Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips AVENT! To

fully benet from the support that Philips AVENT offers, register your

product at www.philips.com/welcome.

The Philips AVENT Digital Thermometer Set accurately and conveniently

measures your baby’s body temperature orally, axially and rectally. The

regular soother and the soother thermometer are suitable for use with

children aged 0-12 months. The digital exible-tip thermometer is suitable

for children and adults of all ages.

The unique combination of a soother thermometer and a digital, exible-

tip thermometer offers you the choice of adapting the temperature

measurement method to suit your baby.

The storage box contains three items:

- A soother thermometer to reliably measure your baby’s temperature.

It is very convenient to use and comfortable for your baby.

- A regular Freeow soother to let your baby get used to the shape.

- A digital exible-tip thermometer to measure your baby’s body

temperature axially or rectally if you want additional reassurance.

Make sure you follow the safety guidelines in chapter ‘Important’ when

using these items so that you do not expose your child to any risk.

Use the soother thermometer to obtain a temperature indication. Use

the exible-tip thermometer to determine the actual body temperature.

If in any doubt, consult your doctor.

- The symbols on the thermometers have the following meaning:

1 This symbol indicates that you have to read the user manual carefully

before you use the appliance. Save the user manual for future

reference (Fig. 1).

2 This symbol is to identify a type BF applied part complying with

IEC60601-1 (Fig. 2).

- Inspect carefully before each use, especially when the child has teeth.

Pull the soother in all directions. Throw away at the rst signs of

damage or weakness.

- Do not store a soother in direct sunlight or near a source of heat, or

store it in disinfectant (‘sterilising solution’) for longer than

recommended, as this may weaken the teat.

- Keep the removable protection cap of the teat away from children to

avoid suffocation.

- Before rst use, place in boiling water for 5 minutes, allow to cool,

and squeeze out any trapped water from the soother. This is to

ensure hygiene.

- Clean before each use.

- Never dip the teat in sweet substances or medication. Your child may

get tooth decay if you do.

- Replace the soother after 4 weeks of use, for safety and hygiene

reasons.

- In the event that the soother becomes lodged in the mouth, DO

NOT PANIC; it cannot be swallowed and is designed to cope with

such an event. Remove from the mouth with care, as gently as

possible.

- Always use this product under adult supervision. Keep in a dry

covered container. Soothers and caps are suitable for all commonly

used forms of sterilisation. Wash your hands thoroughly and ensure

surfaces are clean before contact with sterilised components.

- Expose the handles of night-time soothers to light before use.

- The soother can be cleaned by washing with warm water.

- DO NOT use abrasive cleaning agents or anti-bacterial cleaners on

the soothers. Excessive combinations of detergents may eventually

cause plastic components to crack. Should this occur, replace your

soother immediately.

- DO NOT sterilise the display case.

- For further advice on cleaning, see chapter ‘Cleaning’.

- Never leave your child when you are measuring its temperature with

the soother thermometer or the exible-tip thermometer.

- The thermometers are not intended for use by persons (including

children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack

of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given

supervision or instruction concerning use of the thermometers by a

person responsible for their safety.

- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with

the thermometers.

- Never use the soother thermometer measurement unit separately to

avoid injury.

- Never use the soother thermometer as a regular soother.

- Battery compartment covers must be replaced properly if removed. If

loose, they may choke your child.



- Do not drop the thermometers or expose them to shocks.

- Do not bend or disassemble the measurement unit of the

soother thermometer or the tip of the exible-tip thermometer

- Do not use the thermometer if the display shows the battery symbol.

This means that the battery is low and the measurements will be

inaccurate.

- Only use these thermometers to measure human body

temperatures.

- When not in use, store the soother, the soother thermometer and

the exible-tip thermometer in the storage box supplied.

- Do not use this Philips AVENT soother thermometer in combination

with parts of the old Philips soother thermometer (SCH530).

The most convenient way to measure your baby’s temperature is to use

the soother thermometer according to this user manual. This method

gives a reliable indication. If you need additional reassurance (for example

if the rst measured temperature is above 38°C), you can then use the

digital exible-tip thermometer to take an axial (underarm) or a rectal

(anal) measurement.

Note: Oral measurements are usually 0.5 to 1°C lower than the actual body

temperature.

The temperature of a child is normally between 36.5 and 37.5°C.

However, you have to keep in mind that a child’s temperature varies

depending on age, activity, time of day, etc. Also remember that some

illnesses do not have high temperature as a symptom.Temperature

measurement should not be a substitute for consulting your physician.

When reporting your child’s temperature to a professional, state the

measurement method.

The most convenient way to measure your baby’s temperature is to use

the soother thermometer. This is also the most comfortable method for

the baby.

Do not use the soother thermometer for 30 minutes after the baby

has had hot or cold drinks, as this causes an inaccurate measurement.

1 Check if the measurement unit of the soother thermometer is

rmly attached to the soother (i.e. turned completely to the closed

lock position).

If the measurement unit is not rmly attached to the soother, the

measurement may be inaccurate and the measurement unit

may become a suffocation hazard.

2 Place the soother in the baby’s mouth for approx. 3 minutes to let

the thermometer warm up.

If you do not do this, the measured temperature may be inaccurate.

3 Press the on/off button I to switch on the thermometer.

Note: You can either press the on/off button while the soother is still in your

baby’s mouth, or you can remove the soother, press the on/off button and

place the soother back into your baby’s mouth.

4 Leave the soother in the baby’s mouth until the thermometer

beeps.

Do not insert the exible-tip thermometer into the ear or nose.

The soother thermometer is just as accurate as the digital exible-tip

thermometer and is more convenient to use. However, because rectal

measurement is inherently more accurate than oral measurement, the

digital exible-tip thermometer gives you an opportunity to reassure

yourself.

For a rectal measurement of a baby’s temperature, proceed as follows:

1 Remove the protection cap from the digital exible-tip

thermometer.

Make sure that the metal probe of the exible tip is still rmly attached to

the thermometer.

Tip: If available, use special plastic hygienic covers to cover the tip of the

thermometer (these are available from most chemists).

2 Lubricate the tip of the thermometer (or hygienic cover) with a

water-soluble jelly.

Water-soluble jelly is available from most chemists.

Note: Do not use petroleum jelly.

3 Press the on/off button I to switch on the thermometer.

4 Lie the baby on its stomach or its side.

5 With one hand, separate the baby’s buttocks. With the other hand,

gently slide the tip of the thermometer no more than 12mm (1/2

inch) into the rectum. If you detect any resistance, stop immediately.

Hold the baby rmly so that it cannot turn while the thermometer is

inserted.

Never push the exible tip too far into the anus.

6 Keep the thermometer in place until it beeps.

See section ‘Audible signals’ at the end of this chapter for the meaning of

the beeps.

This chapter lists the questions most frequently asked about the

thermometers. If you cannot nd the answer to your question, contact

the Customer Care Centre in your country.

Question Answer

Do I get a different

temperature reading

with the soother

thermometer than

with the digital

exible-tip

thermometer?

Since oral temperature is slightly lower than

actual body temperature, the soother

thermometer gives a reading that is 0.5 to

1°C lower than that of the exible-tip

thermometer.

What does the battery

symbol on the display

of the thermometers

mean?

If the display shows a battery symbol, the

battery is empty and needs to be replaced.

Only the battery of the exible-tip

thermometer can be replaced. The battery of

the soother thermometer cannot be replaced,

and the soother thermometer must be

discarded when the battery is empty.

18

Question Answer

Can I replace the

batteries of the

thermometers myself?

You can replace the battery of the exible-tip

thermometer yourself. For instructions on

how to replace this battery, see chapter

‘Replacing the battery’. The battery of the

soother thermometer cannot be replaced.

When this battery is empty, the soother

thermometer must be discarded.

What does the ‘Err’

indication on the

display mean?

The ‘Err’ indication can appear on the display

of both the exible-tip thermometer and the

soother thermometer and means that there is

a malfunction. Press the on/off button to

switch off the thermometer, then press the

on/off button again to switch on the

thermometer. Proceed to measure the

temperature as usual.

What does ‘Lo’ or ‘Hi’

on the display mean?

The ‘Lo’or ‘Hi’ indications on the display mean

that the temperature cannot be measured

because the temperature is outside the

temperature range. Press the on/off button to

switch off the thermometer. Check if the

thermometer is correctly positioned. Press

the on/off button again to switch on the

thermometer and restart the measurement.

 19

Question Answer

The thermometer

beeps when it has

nished measuring.

What do these beeps

mean?

When you measure your baby’s temperature,

there are 2 different types of beeps that

sound once the temperature has been

measured. These beeps are the same for

the exible-tip thermometer and for the

soother thermometer. When the

thermometer gives 10 beeps in 10 seconds,

the measured temperature is normal, i.e.

below 37.8°C. When it gives 3 sets of short

beeps in 10 seconds, this indicates possible

fever, i.e. the measured temperature is above

37.8°C.

Can I use honey or

other sweet

substances on the

soother?

Never dip the teat in sweet substances or

medication. Your child may get tooth decay if

you do.

What can I do when

some parts of the

thermometers are

broken (e.g. the

exible tip)?

Do not use the thermometers if any part

of them is cracked. If the thermometers are

damaged or broken, they have to be

discarded.

The thermometers do

not work. What is

wrong?

The batteries of the thermometers may be

empty. For instructions on how to replace the

battery of the exible-tip thermometer, see

chapter ‘Replacing the battery’. The battery of

the soother thermometer cannot be replaced.

When this battery is empty, the soother

thermometer must be discarded.
