Anyone know how to change a Walgreens Ear thermometer reading from C to F?

I have a Walgreens Instant Ear Thermometer that reads in Celsius. I need to know how to change it to fahrenheit?Anyone?

Thanks!

Update:

And I don't have the manual, can't find it online either.

I can convert C to F online, but it's a hassle when the sick child in question is crying/screaming/barfing etc.

:0)

Update 2:

To clarify: I need to know how to get the thermometer itself to display in degrees fahrenheit.

    Am not familiar with the model but there might be a switch on the side/ back/ bottom of the thermometer to change the reading from centigrade to farenheight.

    If there is none, perhaps pressing the on/off button will switch the reading from centigrade/ celsius to farenheight.

    (1.8 * temp Celsius) + 32 = degrees F

    I suspect there's a way to get the thermometer to read in degrees F - there usually is.

    well.. if it is capable of reading in F as well.. then you should read the manual.

    or you can just type into google

    "convert ## celsius to fahrenheit"
