In the following situations it is recommended that three temperatures in the same location be taken and
the highest one taken as the reading:
• Newborn infants in the first 100 days.
• Children under three years of age with a compromised immune system and for whom the presence or
absence of fever is critical.
• When the user is learning how to use the thermometer for the first time until he/she has familiarized
himself/herself with the instrument and obtains consistent readings.
General precautions:
• Remove any sweat prior to measuring with a dry cloth.
• Avoid any cooling or warming cloths on the forehead for at least 30 minutes prior to measurement.
• Do not take temperature measurements over scar tissue, open sores or abrasions.
• Keep the measurement sensor and lens clean. Avoid directly touching the sensor or lens.
• Always store the thermometer with the protective cap in place to prevent dirt and scratches from
damaging the device.
• Make sure to remove the protective cap before taking a measurement and to put the cap back on after
using the thermometer.
