How to shake down mercury column:
Hold thermometer between thumb and fingers at opposite end to the bulb.
Raise hand to shoulder height and swing down rapidly finishing with a
sharp flick of the wrist. Repeat until mercury reads
36 C (97 F) or below.
Avoid striking clothing or other objects.
How to take temperature in the mouth:
Place bulb under tongue as far back as possible and close mouth . Leave
in place for approx 2 to 3 minutes until maximum temperature is reached.
IMPORTANT:
Al the thermometers have a construction in the bore which creates a gap in the mercury above the bulb.
This is not a defect.
