Rapid clinical thermometer SC 42 TM
with flexible measuring point and fever alarm
We congratulate you on the purchase of this quality product from Scala. Please
read the instructions for use before using for the first time.
Special features:
The SC 42 TM is a maximum thermometer, i.e. the highest temperature is
displayed after only 30 seconds. The most recent measured value is always
saved. If the temperature registers higher than 37,5°C the fever alarm will sound.
Safety information:
The SC 42 TM is suitable only for measuring human body temperatures.
The thermometer contains small parts (batteries, etc) which could be
swallowed by small children. Please keep the thermometer and its batteries
out of the reach of small children. If the battery or other parts are swallowed
you should seek medical help immediately.
The enclosed batteries may not be recharged or reactivated by other
methods, may not be dismantled, thrown into fires or short-circuited.
Batteries must be disposed of properly. Suitable methods for the disposal of
batteries include returning them to the place of purchase or disposal in
communal collection points.
Protect the SC 42 TM from direct sunshine and temperatures above 50°C.
Never drop the SC 42 TM, do not bend or open it (with the exception of the
battery compartment for battery replacement).
Operating manual:
Press the 0/I button to switch on. A short signal tone shows that the device is in
the "switched on" condition. A segment test takes place simultaneously (checks all
display segments and carries out an internal function test (see under "Function
test")).

After this, if the temperature measured by the temperature sensor is less than 32°C,
the display shows an "L“ and "°C“. After around one second, the "°C“ starts to blink.
The „L“ stands for low (less than 32°C).
The current temperature is continuously displayed during measurement, and the
C" blinks during the entire measurement time. The measurement is completed
after around 30 seconds.
If the measurement is taken orally or rectally, the approximate final temperature is
shown after about 30 seconds and changes only marginally after this time. A
measurement period of between five and 10 minutes must be observed for the
underarm measurement method. The signal tone can be sounded several times
during this period. Since the contact between the temperature sensor and the armpit
is not as good as those for oral and rectal measurements, the temperature rise is
slower which causes this effect.
After the measurement is completed, the temperature value measured remains in
the display until the SC 42 TM is switched off. To turn the device off after use, press
the 0/I button briefly. The signal tone will again be sounded. If the device is not
switched off, a signal tone is sounded after around 8 minutes and the device then
switches off automatically.
Display of last measured value:
If you keep the 0/I button pressed for longer than three seconds, the last measured
value will be shown in the display. As soon as you release the I/O button, the device
is ready to take measurements.
Function test:
The thermometer is checked for correct functioning automatically every time it is
switched on. All segments are displayed, and then C. If a failure (measurement
inaccuracy) is recognised, "ERR“ (Error) is shown in the display.
Measured value deviation:
The measured temperatures will always deviate, depending on the measurement
location. This is normal, and caused by deviations in temperature distribution on the
human body. You could, for example, measure a rectal temperature of 36.6°C, an
oral temperature of 36.1°C and an underarm value of 35.6°C.
Fever alarm:
If the temperature registers higher than 37,5°C, th e fever alarm (a quick beeping
sound which occurs continuously for about 8 seconds) will sound when the peak
temperature has registered..

Measurement locations:
In the mouth (oral)
Small temperature variations in the mouth between measurements are normal.
These are caused by varying temperature distribution within the mouth. Try to place
the thermometer in one of the two heat pockets under the tongue, to the left and
right of the tongue root. The measurement sensor must have good contact with the
tissue. The subject should close the mouth and breathe normally through the nose
so that the measured result is not affected by breathed air.
Measuring period: approx. 1 minute
Heat pockets
In the anus (rectal)
This is the safest method. It is particularly suitable for infants and small children.
Guide the thermometer point carefully 2 - 3 cm into the anus. Measuring period:
approx. 1 minute.
Under the arm (axillary)
From a medical viewpoint this type of measurement leads to inaccurate values. It is
therefore unsuitable for carrying out exact measurements.
Measuring period: 5 to 10 minutes.
Measuring the basal body temperature
The device can also be comfortably and practically used for the measurement of
fertile or unfertile days in the female cycle using the temperature measurement
method.
Changing the battery:
As soon as the symbol appears in the display, the battery has run out and
requires replacement. Always replace the discharged battery with one of the same
type. To do this, proceed as follows:
