This works.. you only have to do it right: after seeing "Lo " click immediately again . Don't wait until the "F" or "C" starts blinking.

THANK YOU I WAS SO CONFUSED

2032 is a Universal battery. Use of a 2032 battery was my #1 search criteria for oral thermometers. I almost passed over this one until I read the comments that it will accept a 2032. The video is doing a great disservice to this thermometer.

[@perripierre9295]

This never works for me. It only works to change from the default F to C. If it’s on C simply remove the battery for 30 seconds and reinstall it. It will default back to F. Make sure you write down the C reading because the memory recall will clear when the battery is removed.

Just bought one. Battery cover is stuck it does not fall off easily like it shows in the video. Waste of money

[@agapedvm732]

I keep on trying to use my thermometer to measure the heat coming from my hand, but it keeps on switching to the LO button, how can I fix this?

[@hannahmoody2051]

Do you have to add a degree still if used under the arm?

[@robertylore]

It doesn't work with my thermometer. the model is model V966F-24. Do you have any other way?

[@ulisesvaillard8052]
