TEMPERATURE READINGS Although there is no one “normal” temperature reading, a temperature taken orally, ranging between 97.0°F and 99.9°F (36.1°C and 37.7°C), is considered normal. A rectal temperature is generally about 1° higher and an underarm temperature will be about 1° lower. A person’s body temperature will usually be several tenths to one full degree lower in the morning than it is in the late afternoon. Therefore, if your temperature is 97.9°F (36.6°C) in the morning, it could be 98.4°F (36.9°C) or more in the late afternoon and still be normal. The best method to determine your own normal temperature is to use the thermometer when you are feeling well. Record your temperature twice a day (early morning and late afternoon). Take the average of the two temperatures. This is considered your normal body temperature. Any variation from it may indicate some sort of illness and you should consult your physician. This device is calibrated at the time of manufacturing. No recalibration is required. Contact Customer Happiness for any accuracy issues. BEFORE USE The Kinsa QuickCare Thermometer is intended for the intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature orally, rectally, and under the arm. Whichever method is used, it is recommended to avoid eating or drinking any liquids, exercising, taking showers or baths, or smoking for 10 minutes prior to use, as these can cause mild variations in temperature. Disinfect the probe with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol before use. See Cleaning and Storage section below. PROBE COVERS Probe covers can be purchased at most drug stores or pharmacy departments. Place a cover on the probe tip each time the thermometer is used to help prevent the spread of germs. OPERATING YOUR KINSA QUICKCARE THERMOMETER You can use your Kinsa QuickCare thermometer on yourself or others by itself, or paired to the Kinsa app. TO SET UP YOUR THERMOMETER FOR FIRST TIME USE 1. Enable Bluetooth on your mobile device. 2. Download the Kinsa app from the App Store or Google Play. The app can also be downloaded by going directly to kinsahealth.com/download. Please see kinsahealth.com/phones for the full list of supported devices. 3. Launch the Kinsa app. (The app will be on your Home screen or in your Apps folder depending on type of mobile device.) 4. Turn the thermometer on and follow the in-app prompts to connect. 5. Your thermometer is now successfully connected to your mobile device. For future temperature readings, open the Kinsa app to automatically sync readings to your mobile device and assign to individual family members, add notes or symptoms/medications, and see guidance. HAVING PROBLEMS? Your thermometer will display APP until it is connected with the Kinsa app. If your thermometer won’t connect to the app, you can activate it on its own by pressing the ON/OFF button once to turn the thermometer on and then pressing the ON/OFF button 2 more times in rapid succession. Note: viewing temperature history or receiving guidance will not be possible until the thermometer has been connected to the app. For additional support, contact Customer Happiness at kinsahealth.com/contactus. TO SET UP YOUR THERMOMETER WITH A NEW MOBILE DEVICE 1. If you have the original phone, open Kinsa, go to “More,” select the thermometer to remove and choose “Forget Thermometer.” 2. On the additional mobile device, repeat Steps 3 through 5 above. 3. Your thermometer is now successfully connected to an additional mobile device. TAKING A TEMPERATURE 1. Tap the ON/OFF button to turn on the thermometer. You will hear a beep when the thermometer is ready to take a temperature. The thermometer will be ready for temperature taking when the screen shows three dashes. 2. Place the thermometer according to your desired reading location (under the base of the tongue, under the base of the armpit, or with only the silver tip placed in the rectum). 3. A beep will indicate when the temperature measurement is successfully completed. Temperature readings typically take 8 seconds. 4. The temperature reading will be shown on the illuminated display. A smiling face icon indicates that the temperature is normal while a neutral or frowning face indicates a mild or high fever, respectively. 5. The thermometer will automatically turn off after 30 seconds of inactivity. The display will briefly flash OFF and it will go blank. You can also press and hold the ON/OFF button for 2 seconds to power off. UNDERSTANDING YOUR THERMOMETER DISPLAY DISPLAY SITUATION / SOLUTION UPd Firmware update in progress. APP 1.

Happy Face [No Fever]: ≥ 96.9°F (36.1°C) and < 100°F (37.8°C) Neutral Face [Mild/Moderate Fever]: ≥ 100°F (37.8°C) and < 102.6°F (39.2°C) Sad Face [High Fever]: ≥ 102.6°F (39.2°C) RELIABLE METHODS TO MEASURE TEMPERATURE Body temperature is one of the most important indicators of illness and so it is important that temperatures be taken accurately. Please follow these instructions for use closely. FIGURE 1 Place thermometer here Oral Use: Place the probe tip well under the tongue in a heat pocket. See Figure 1 for correct placement. Keep mouth closed while the temperature reading is being taken. A normal oral temperature is considered 97.0°F - 99.9°F (36.1°C - 37.7°C). A probe cover is suggested for oral use to prevent the spread of germs. Discard the probe cover after taking a temperature. Rectal Use: If rectal temperature readings are recommended by your doctor, you may use a probe cover. Insert the temperature probe into a probe cover. Insert the probe tip no more than ½ inch into rectum. STOP if you meet any resistance. The sensing unit is on the very tip of the probe and there is no reason to insert the tip deep into the rectum. Do NOT insert the probe past the metal tip. In general, a normal rectal temperature is considered 97.5°F - 100.3°F (36.4°C - 37.9°C). Underarm Use: Wipe armpit with a dry towel. Place probe in armpit and keep arm pressed firmly against the body. In general, a normal underarm temperature is considered 96.5°F - 98.9°F (35.8°C 37.2°C). Heat Pocket Base of Tongue Heat Pocket Placement for oral readings CLEANING & STORING Clean the probe before and after use with a damp, soapy cloth or by disinfecting with rubbing alcohol (70% isopropyl alcohol). Wipe dry with soft cloth. DO NOT BOIL OR CLEAN IN DISHWASHER. This will cause the thermometer to no longer function and will void the warranty. Do not wash the unit with any thinner or chemical solvent. Do not store the device in direct sunlight or at high temperatures. If the thermometer has been stored in cold conditions, allow it to warm to room temperature before attempting a measurement. Performance of the device may be degraded if device is operated or stored outside of the stated temperature ranges.
