Normal Body Temperature
Normal body temperature is unique to each individual and varies within an individual range.
The normal ranges for temperature measurements, taken from the ear canal, vary with age
as follows:
0 to 2 years ......................36.4°C to 38.0°C
3 to 10 years ....................36.1°C to 37.8°C
11 to 65 years ...................35.9°C to 37.6°C
Over 65 years ...................35.8°C to 37.5°C
Each person’s normal temperature may be defined by measuring body temperature several
times during a day when illness is absent. Record these readings for future reference to use
for comparison when a fever may be suspected.
Seek medical help, regarding the fever, when:
• The child is less than 6 months old
• The child refuses to drink
• The fever rises above 38.5°C or persists for more than 48 hours
• Other symptoms appear, including difficulty in swallowing, ear tugging, rash, etc.
As temperature varies according to the site used to take the measurement, readings taken
from different body sites cannot be directly compared.
Measuring Object Temperature
Press the
or
button to start the device. As
the thermometer always starts in the body temperature setting
press the
button and the thermometer will switch to
object temperature mode.
The appearance of the object icon
on the screen,
confirms that the thermometer has switched to the object
temperature mode. See Figure 5.
Hold the thermometer 2 to 3cm from the desired object and
press the
button. Maintain the distance until the
measurement completion beep sounds, or for approximately 2
seconds if the thermometer is in silent mode. See Figure 6.
The temperature is now visible on the LCD display. See Figure 7.
