Do you have fever, and at home crashed last mercury thermometer? You have not forgotten how difficult it is to remove mercury from the thermometer? So it's time to move to electronic digital thermometers, thermometers new generation that do not contain mercury, and do not fight and not die.
Electronic digital thermometers are now sold in almost every pharmacy and anyone can buy them, good price for them is not much more than mercury. So I decided to join to the new trends in medicine. I bought a medical thermometer company MicroLife.
Thermometer Microlife is a digital thermometer with LCD display and audible indication of the completion of temperature measurement. Medical thermometer comes in a transparent case that allows it to easily take on the road, not being afraid to damage it.
How to use an electronic thermometer? Temperature measurement electronic thermometer occurs after pressing the start button, and after the alarm notifies you after the measurement can be viewed on the LCD screen figures in temperature. But the digital thermometer is a feature in the measurement of temperature. It should be longer keep a thermometer to accurately measure the temperature. For example, if the mercury can hold about 10-15 minutes to find the exact temperature, the digital thermometer so long to measure. To deceive the thermometer 
I first insert it, and then turn on after 10 minutes, then he gives almost the exact temperature, for already warmed to normal body temperature. The error in the electronic thermometer is not so large compared with the mercury, but it is at a low temperature of its longer be measured. If the temperature of 38 and above, the thermometer is natural to react to it quickly enough. Although, judging by the instructions to the thermometer, just under the armpits must be kept longer, such as the language may be enough for a minute.

It was interesting to read, he now going to afford such a miracle)
We bought this thermometer. Temperature He took no better than a pencil, stolen from Ikea. I have found 35:9, 36:2 at Tiffany's, the father-in 34:7. Do the findings themselves, or are we zombies or the thermometer is useful no more than dog excrement, next to your door
Kybuk, I wrote the article, that the thermometer must be kept longer. Look at the photograph, which shows the methods of measurement. The problem is that the thermometer before time ceases to measure temperature. Because axillary be measured 5-10 minutes, and the thermometer a minute later said that all measured. Therefore, try to measure both - put the thermometer at 10 minutes plus. Then at the end of turn, and get a more accurate figure. But I, when it was 38, a minute later he showed clearly more than 37
Kupil.Neskolko once tried honest thermometer (+ /-0.1gr.) For 125 rubl.-chic =)
No normal person born in the USSR, will not insert the thermometer (albeit electronic) in the mouth (on the scientific - oral (Hence the word must have gone to yell?))
and even more behind his ass (for scientific - rectally).
Well, we are not accustomed to this!
While it may technically more correct - immersion in liquid (obvolakivanie) or close to it, gives a more rapid heating.
So here I am, as a pioneer correct, did not know these Western bloat. I hear the squeak and pull thermometer (a thermometer) from a mouse - a passport-instructions it is written - to keep "up to a squeak," that is the signal.
For those who encountered this problemkoy first to report that froze "under the arm" for the Scientific called - "axillary".
Now the main thing.
(Imagine the picture - uncle under 50 with the temperature begins to conduct an experiment: -)).
The first measurement made ordinary thermometer "glass. After a 5-minute reading: 38.2 degrees. Although later learned that "in science" and its officially need to keep 10 minutes (I think in any clinic so do not hold))
Second measurement made by Japanese electronic thermometer - to squeak. Display: ~ 34 degrees. I bought 5 years ago.
Third measurement done by German electronic thermometer - to squeak. Display: ~ 36 degrees. Bought 2 years ago.
After this, feeling that the electronics "COMPLETE shit" I, as the temperature was very nervous, almost sank them on the wall.
Then had to read on this subject and enlighten. So I write so that others do not waste time searching for disk imaging.
Now for temperaturyaschih!
Holding a digital thermometers need:
1. Press the "START", wait until appears on the screen is the letter "L", ie LOAD - Loading.
Type - can be put "under his arm." On the clock "detect" time and set (bury) it there so that the sensor tip of the metal, the most stubborn in the skin where the veins are (contact) and was trapped inside surface of the hand. Otherwise it will be measured by a sensor (it's small), air temperature under the arm
Ideally, you Dolny while still lying in bed, because it is important pressure. But the clinics did this with the patients sitting in a chair.
Also write to the armpit at the time of measurement was dry - although in my opinion here conversely humidity accelerates the process of measurement.
2. Do not pay the squeak electronics.
3. After 5 minutes to get him to learn temp.. Although ideally you can hold and 10 minutes.
There is a danger that the electronics work and the thermometer will automatically shut down
So, after I passed the 5 minutes, both electronic thermometer showed the "right result", then there are differences of measurements were + - 0.1 degrees, not 5 or 3, as after a squeak.
What we have to "dry matter" - electronic thermometers USING.
BUT with the usual underarm metering, you can not measure more quickly, according to instructions for promotional purposes - to keep the previous 5 minutes (minimum) and do not pay attention to squeak.
Other ways to check, I did not! :-).
Michael, thank you for such a detailed commentary
They you have confirmed my finding that the measure should be longer than the thermometer thinking 
I shoved her in the mouth:) The first time showed 36i6, the second time - 35i9.
Michael, "... the letter" L ", ie, LOAD ..." L - is low, ie, low temperature (less than 32)
The instructions to Microlife thermometers written that "... does not sound signals the end of measurements, and reported that the rate of rise in temperature sensor device is less than 0.1 degrees in 16 seconds. Stopping the measurement of audio signal, you can only assess whether the resulting value falls in the range of "normal" temperatures for the chosen method of measurement.
Time measurement in the armpit is not less than 5 minutes and does not depend, in principle, from what the thermometer to measure - is it necessary to armpit (with tightly squeezed by hand) warmed to body temperature.
