advice of a physician or other medical professional
• Thermometers should only be used under the supervision of an adult
• Before use, it is recommended that the patient avoid eating, drinking,

PLEASE READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL
COMPLETELY BEFORE OPERATING THIS UNIT.

NORMAL BODY TEMPERATURE & FEVER
Body temperature can vary from 97°F and 100.4°F and still be considered
normal. The medically accepted‘normal’body temperature is 98.6°F. Body
temperature is commonly lower in the morning than at any point during the
rest of an individual’s waking hours.
Temperature readings will vary based on the body location point of the reading.
Average‘normal’temperature ranges by measurement location site:
Forehead 97.0°F–100.0°F (36.1°C–37.8°C) Oral 97.0°F–100.0°F (36.1°C–37.8°C)
Rectal 97.3°F–100.4°F (36.3°C–38.0°C) Axillary 95.4°F–99.0°F (35.2°C–37.2°C)
A fever is dened as a body temperature that is elevated above the normal
for that person. It is important to determine what is normal for an individual
before determining if a fever is present. Tracking an individual’s temperature
on a consistent basis, at the same body site and at the same time everyday
when the person is well or healthy, will help determine an individual’s normal
temperature.
Patented R.A.T.E.™ technology utilizes a unique
sensor which rapidly samples the heat owing
from the blood vessels to the skin’s surface.
The measurements are then converted to a
comparable body temperature.

GUIDELINES FOR SENSOR THERMOMETERS
This thermometer is designed to measure the temperature at the temple area
between the end of the eyebrow and the hairline. This model is also designed
for behind the ear measurements. Consult the‘TAKING YOUR MEASUREMENT’
section of this manual for detail instructions for each measurement site.
• Do not place the thermometer on scar tissue, skin disorder, open sores or
abrasions or patients in trauma
• Consult your physician when using drug therapies that may elevate skin
temperature in the forehead
• Do not use skin exposed to direct sunlight, replace heat, air conditioner
or fan air ow, or hot/cold compress therapies
• WAIT AT LEAST TWO MINUTES BETWEEN MEASUREMENTS TO
ALLOW THE UNIT SENSOR TO READJUST TO ROOM TEMPERATURE
• If the thermometer has been stored in an excessively cold or warm
environment, allow the thermometer to adjust to the ambient room
temperature before use. Performance and operation of this unit may
be compromised if operated outside of the specied temperature and
humidity operating ranges
