How do I access the Smart Thermometer User and Setup Guides?
Our IFU and Setup Guides are located on our website.
How do I take a reading?
Point the sensor at the center of the eyebrows, about 1 inch (0–3 cm) from the forehead, without touching. Press the power/measure button. In about 1 second the thermometer signals and shows the reading.
How do I get the most accurate reading?
- Make sure the forehead is free of sweat, cosmetics, and oil.
- Wait 30 minutes after a bath, exercise, or a meal.
- Keep the child out of direct sunlight and away from heaters and air conditioner vents, and stay still during the reading.
- Use it in a stable room between 50°F and 104°F.
- If the thermometer was stored somewhere with a very different temperature, leave it in the room for 30 minutes first.
- Keep the sensor lens clean and dry, and don’t use the thermometer when it is wet.
Why did the screen turn orange and beep three times?
The Owlet Smart Thermometer makes three quick beeps and shows an orange screen when a reading is 99.7°F (37.6°C) or higher. It also beeps quickly and shows an orange screen with Hi or Lo when a reading is outside its measuring range (below 71.6°F or above 109.4°F).
How do I switch between °F and °C?
With the thermometer on, press and hold the °C/°F button on the side until the unit symbol blinks. Short press the °C/°F button to switch between °F and °C, then press the Temp button to confirm. The thermometer comes set to °F. You can also change the unit in the Owlet Dream App settings.
How do I see or clear the readings stored on the thermometer?
Press the Memory button to scroll through stored readings. It holds up to 32, and when full, the newest reading replaces the oldest. To clear them, press and hold the Memory button while viewing stored readings until CLr appears.
How do I replace the batteries?
Slide open the battery cover, remove the old batteries, and insert 2 new AAA batteries matching the polarity marked inside. Don’t mix old and new batteries. A low-battery symbol means replace soon, and an empty battery symbol means replace right away. Remove the batteries if you won’t use the thermometer for more than 3 months.
How do I clean it?
Gently wipe the sensor lens with a clean, dry soft cloth or cotton swab, and wipe the body with a soft cloth dampened (not dripping). Never submerge it in liquid or let liquid touch the metal parts. Full cleaning and disinfection steps are in the IFU.
