BODY TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
7
• It is important to know each individual's normal temperature when they
are well. This is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever.
To determine normal temperature, take multiple readings when healthy.
Re-measure with a standard digital thermometer for confirmation.
• Users must be inside for 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
Note: Users and the thermometer should be in the same ambient
temperature for at least 10 minutes before taking a reading.
• Users should not drink, eat, or be physically active such as bathing,
showering, shampooing and hair drying before/while taking the
measurement.
Remove hat and wait 10 minutes before taking a reading.
• Oils or cosmetics on the forehead may give a lower temperature reading
than the actual one. Remove dirt from the forehead before taking a
measurement.
Wait at least 10 minutes after washing the forehead area before taking a
reading.
• Holding a hand on the forehead for any length of time will affect the
temperature reading.
• Do not take temperature over scar tissue, open sores or abrasions.
• Do not use the thermometer on a perspiring or sweating forehead, as
this may affect the reading.
• Don't take a measurement while or immediately after nursing a baby.
• This thermometer is intended for home and clinical use.
• Do not take temperatures with this thermometer near places that are
very hot, such as fireplaces and stoves.
During measurement, do not use a mobile phone or any other device as
this may cause electromagnetic interference.
