The normal body temperature range slightly varies with age and gender.
Generally, newborns or children havehigher body temperaturethan adults,
and adults have higher body temperature than the elderly. Women's body
temperature are appropriately 0.3°C higher than men's.
Normal body temperature
fluctuates throughout the day
and is also affected by external
factors.The body temperature
of an individual is the lowest
between 2:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m.
and the highest between 2:00
p.m. and 8:00 p.m. An individual's
body temperature typically
changes by less than 1°C (1.8°F)
each day.

Product Description
1) Overview
3) Operating principle
2) Structure
The thermometer consists of a shell, an LCD, a measure button, abeeper,
an infrared temperature sensor, and a Microprocessor.
The infrared temperature sensor collects infrared energy emitted by the
eardrum or theskinsurface. After being focused by alens, the energy is
converted into a temperature reading by the thermopiles and measurement
circuits.
The Smart Ear & Forehead Thermometer measures the body temperature
based on the infrared energy emitted from the eardrum or the forehead.
Users can quickly get measurement results after positioning properly the
temperature probe in the ear canal or forehead.
The Smart Ear & Forehead Thermometer is intended for themeasure-
ment of human body temperatures. The forehead mode is indicated
for use by people of all ages and the eardrum mode is indicated for use
by people above three months old.
