Frequently asked questions
+Digital vs mercury thermometer: which is better?
Digital thermometers show a clear number and contain no mercury or glass, so there is no spill hazard if one breaks. Mercury thermometers are being phased out in many countries under the Minamata Convention on Mercury, which is why hospitals and pharmacies now stock digital models.
+How accurate are digital thermometers under the arm?
Underarm (axillary) readings are usually lower than oral readings and depend more on placement. Put the tip in the center of a dry armpit, hold the arm close to the body and wait for the full measuring time. The stated accuracy of the MT502 is on its datasheet.
+How do you change a digital thermometer from Celsius to Fahrenheit?
On many stick thermometers the unit is switched with a button sequence while the device is off; the exact steps are in the user manual. For bulk orders, tell us which unit your market uses so the setting and labeling can be confirmed.
+How do you use a digital thermometer to measure body temperature?
Clean the tip, switch the thermometer on, place the tip under the tongue or in the armpit, keep it still for the full measuring time and read the display. Clean the tip again after each use.
