4. Information about this thermometer
The temperature measurement varies depending on the part of the body where the measurement is taken. In
a healthy person, the variance can be between 0.2°C and 1°C (0.4°F and 1.8°F) in different parts of the body.
Normal temperature range with various thermometers
Measurements Thermometer used
Forehead temperature 35.8°C to 37.6°C (96.4°F to 99.7°F) Forehead thermometer
Ear temperature 36.0°C to 37.8°C (96.8°F to 100.0°F) Ear thermometer

26
Measurements Thermometer used
Oral temperature 36.0°C to 37.4°C (96.8°F to 99.3°F) Conventional thermometer
Rectal temperature 36.3°C to 37.8°C (97.3°F to 100.0°F) Conventional thermometer
Beurer tip
• T emperatures measured with different thermometers should never be compared with one another.
• T ell your doctor what type of thermometer you used to take your temperature and on what part of the
body. Also bear this in mind if you are diagnosing yourself.
Holding the thermometer for too long in the hand before taking a measurement can cause the device to
warm up. This means the measurement could be incorrect.
Influences on body temperature
• A person’s individual metabolism
• A ge
Body temperature is higher in babies and toddlers than in adults. Greater temperature fluctuations occur faster and
more often in children. Normal body temperature decreases with age.
• C lothing
• O utside temperature
• T ime of day
Body temperature is lower in the morning and increases throughout the day towards evening.
• A ctivities
Physical and, to a lesser extent, mental activities increase body temperature.

27
Beurer tip
Taking the body temperature provides a current measurement of a person’s temperature. If you are uncer-
tain about interpreting the results or if the values are abnormal (e.g. fever), please consult your doctor.
This also applies in the case of slight temperature changes if there are other symptoms of illness such as
agitation, severe sweating, flushed skin, fast pulse rate, tendency to collapse, etc.

ment in progress, measurement completion).
• T o activate the acoustic signals, select using the MODE/MEM button and
confirm with the LIGHT/SET button.
• T o deactivate the acoustic signals, select using the MODE/MEM button
and confirm with the LIGHT/SET button. Fig. 6

The display lights up for 5 seconds.
The automatic and manual illuminated display cannot be used while measurement is in progress.
8. Forehead measurement
Briefly press the On/Off button .
After a brief self-test and two short beeps the device is ready for forehead temperature measurement. The device
is in forehead temperature mode. This is indicated by the symbol.
Beurer tip
Remember that
• p hysical activity, increased perspiration on the forehead, taking vasoconstrictive medication and skin
irritations can distort the result,
• t he forehead, or the temples, must be free from perspiration and cosmetics.

32
Hold the thermometer 2 to 3 cm from the measuring point. Press the SCAN button and move
the thermometer from side to side over the forehead area (fig. 8).
During measurement you will hear short beeps (only if the acoustic signal is activated), which
signal that the thermometer has found a new highest measurement.
End of measurement is signalled by a long beep.
Release the SCAN button.
You can now read the measured value.
In addition to the temperature, the fever or no fever symbols also appear in the display:
The no fever symbol indicates that the body temperature is within normal range; the fever symbol indicates
a measurement equal to or higher than 38°C (100.4°F), which triggers a temperature alarm.
If the acoustic signal is switched on, three beeps will sound once the measurement is complete if the temperature
is equal to or higher than 38°C (100.4 °F).
The measuring time is usually 2 seconds but may take up to 30 seconds.
When two short beeps sound and the forehead symbol stops flashing, the device is ready to take another
measurement.
The measurement is automatically saved with the date/time and the “fever” / “no fever” classification.
8.1 Displaying saved measurements
The device only stores measurements in forehead temperature mode . The device automatically stores the
values from the last 60 measurements.
When 60 storage places are exceeded the oldest value is deleted.
The memory can be called up as follows:
• With the thermometer switched on, press and hold the MODE/MEM button for 5 seconds.
The most recent measurement is displayed.
• W ith each subsequent pressing of the MODE/MEM button, first the storage space number is displayed followed
by the measurement upon release.
• I n the upper line, the time and date are displayed alternately.
