Digital Thermometer
The EASYCARE EC 5058 Digital Thermometer Flexible Red is a non-mercury-based digital thermometer that measures body temperature and converts the reading into a readable format. It has a flexible tip that bends 45 degrees for comfort and an off/on button. The thermometer is waterproof and has an auto shut-off feature to help the batteries last longer.
To use the thermometer, clean the tip with cold water and soap, then rinse it. Turn the thermometer on, put the tip under your tongue, towards the back of your mouth, close your lips around the thermometer, wait until it beeps or flashes, and check the temperature on display.
The thermometer measures body temperature and converts the reading into a readable format.
The ice bath test is the easiest way to test a thermometer for accuracy, assuming your thermometer will display temperatures of 32 degree Fahrenheit or less.
Insert your thermometer into the glass of cold water without touching the sides of the glass. After 30 seconds, your thermometer should read 32 degree Fahrenheit. If it doesn't, it may need to be replaced or recalibrated.
Use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to clean the inside of any small crevices. Allow the alcohol to air-dry on the thermometer to kill germs effectively.
Direct sunlight, cold temperatures or a sweaty forehead can affect temperature readings
