DIGITAL THERMOMETER  
Model # MC-106  
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON® Digital Thermometer. Read all of the instructions carefully before  
using this thermometer to ensure accurate temperatures and safe operation.

UNDERARM (AXILLARY) USE:  
Wipe underarm with a dry towel.  
Place probe tip in armpit and bring arm down against the body (figure 3).  
The probe should be pointing upward in the same direction as your body if possible.  
The time required for an accurate underarm temperature may be 20-30 seconds or  
longer depending on placement of the probe and closure of the arm against the body.  
When peak temperature is reached, the °F symbol will stop flashing, and the thermometer  
will beep repeatedly. Please note: It is not necessary to hear the beep to ensure the peak

Read and record the temperature and time for reference. The reading will automatically be stored in the memory.  
Push the on/off button to turn the unit off. If you do not turn the unit off, it will shut off automatically in  
approximately 10 minutes.  
SAFETY INFORMATION:  
High, prolonged fever requires medical attention especially for young children. Please contact your physician.  
Do not allow children to take their temperatures unattended.  
RECTAL USE:  
Read the enclosed instructions carefully to ensure accurate temperature readings. Temperature readings are  
affected by many factors including exercise, drinking hot or cold beverages prior to taking a reading as  
well as technique.  
Commonly used for babies, young children or when it is difficult to take an oral or underarm temperature.  
After placing the probe cover on the thermometer, lubricate with a water-soluble jelly or petroleum jelly.  
Gently insert the probe tip no more than 1/2 inch or 1.3 cm into the rectum. Do not force the tip into  
the rectum if resistance is encountered.  
Dispose of the used probe cover and wash the thermometer as recommended.  
The peak temperature should be reached in approximately 10 seconds.  
When peak temperature is reached, the °F symbol will stop flashing, and the thermometer will beep repeatedly.  
Please note: It is not necessary to hear the beep to ensure the peak temperature has been reached. When  
the °F symbol stops flashing and the display reads a consistent temperature, the peak temperature  
has been reached.  
Read and record the temperature and time for reference. The reading will automatically be stored in the memory.  
Push the on/off button to turn the unit off. If you do not turn the unit off, it will shut off automatically in  
approximately 10 minutes.  
Do not allow children to walk or run during temperature taking. The probe could present a hazard.  
Oral, underarm, and rectal temperatures vary by approximately 0.5°C (1°F).  
Keep battery away from children. Harmful if swallowed.  
Do not open the thermometer except to replace the battery.  
SPECIAL PRODUCT FEATURES:  
*10-second read...up to 6 times faster than traditional digital thermometers.  
Measures in Centigrade and Fahrenheit.  
Waterproof..... for Easy Cleaning.  
Long Life Replaceable Battery.  
(approximately 1500 temperatures)  
Auto-Off in approximately 10 minutes.  
Includes 5 free probe covers.  
CONVERSION FROM FAHRENHEIT TO CENTIGRADE (°F/°C)  
The thermometer is initially set at Fahrenheit °F.  
Follow the steps below to change the measurement scale.  
HOW TO CARE FOR THIS PRODUCT:  
1. In the off mode, Press and hold the on/off button for 4 seconds until the °F flashes.  
2. You can toggle between °C and °F.  
For hygienic purposes, the use of Probe Covers is recommended.  
The thermometer should be cleaned after use even when probe covers are used.  
Clean the thermometer using isopropyl alcohol or soap and water. Do not immerse in liquid.  
Store the unit in the protective case while not in use.  
Do not store or keep in direct sunlight, or at high temperatures.  
Do not drop the thermometer, as this may damage the unit.  
3. Once the desired scale is selected, the °C or °F will flash indicating ready for use.  
4. Proceed with temperature measurement.  
Repeat process to reverse the measurement scale if desired.  
TO RECALL THE LAST TEMPERATURE:  
1. Press and hold the ON/OFF button while turning on the unit. The last measured temperature will be shown in  
the display with the letter “M” shown under the degree sign in approximately 3 seconds.  
2. Release the ON/OFF button. The thermometer will be in “ready-to-measure” mode and the recalled temperature  
will be erased. Note: If the device is switched off before completion of temperature taking, L°C or LºF will  
appear in memory the next time the unit is used.  
WHAT IS A “NORMAL” TEMPERATURE?:  
Temperature varies with each individual. A normal temperature refers to each individual’s average temperature  
while they are well. Normal average temperatures range from 36.1°C/97°F to 37.8°C/100°F when taken orally.  
From an oral temperature, you may calculate a rectal equivalent temperature by adding 0.5°C/1°F while an  
underarm temperature requires subtracting 0.5°C/1°F. For example, if your oral temperature is 37°C/98.6°F this is the  
same as a rectal temperature of 37.5°C/99.6°F or an underarm temperature of 36.4°C/97.6°F. Rectal temperatures  
are generally considered true body temperature.  
CHANGING THE BATTERY:  
When the “ ” appears in the lower right of the display, the battery is exhausted and needs  
replacing. Make sure a battery of the same type is on hand and proceed as follows:  
Remove battery compartment lid and carefully slide out the battery holder. Insert  
new equivalent battery type (1.5v SR41 or LR41). Ensure battery is correctly positioned  
HOW TO TAKE BODY TEMPERATURE:  
1. Place a probe cover carefully over the tip (figure 1).  
2. Push the on/off button located beside the display window. Hold the button  
down if you choose to recall the last measured temperature. The thermometer

compartment lid. Ensure “O” Ring (washer) is in place to maintain water resistance.  
Properly dispose of the batteries according to local regulations keeping them from small  
children and heat.

accurate temperature reading if this low battery indicator is present. An “Err” message in the window  
indicates your unit is not functioning properly.  
Measurement Range:  
32.2°C to 43.2°C/90.0°F to 109.9°F  
Measurement Accuracy:  
0.1°C/ 0.2°F between 35.6°C to 41.1°C/96.0°F to 106.0°F, accurate to  
0.2°C/ 0.4ºF at less than 35.6°C/96.0ºF and greater than 41.1°C/106.0ºF.  
ORAL USE: (for ages four years or older)  
Do not drink hot or cold fluids, exercise, smoke or perform other activities prior to a  
reading. These activities will raise or lower temperature readings when compared to  
your normal, average temperature. The mouth should remain closed up to 5 minutes  
before attempting a reading.  
Place the probe tip well under the tongue in locations as indicated by the “”.  
(figure 2) Instruct children not to bite down on the probe and keep mouth closed  
during temperature measurement.  
Figure 2  
Correct Probe Placement  
The peak temperature should be reached in approximately 10-20 seconds.  
Opening the mouth or improper placement of the probe tip could result in a longer time for a reading.  
When peak temperature is reached, the °F symbol will stop flashing, and the thermometer will beep  
repeatedly. Please note: It is not necessary to hear the beep to ensure the peak temperature has been  
reached. When the °F stops flashing and the display reads a consistent temperature, the peak temperature  
has been reached.
