Therefore, when the “face”
button is pressed, the 6-
in-1 Thermometer software automatically applies a
correction factor and thus the resulting value is comparable
to that experienced in more commonly used temperature-
taking methods, such as underarm (axillary), oral or rectal,
or other core temperature locations as preferred by the
user.
.
An oral reading is generally 0.2°C (0.4°F) higher than an
axillary reading while a rectal or core reading is usually
0.8°C (1°F) higher (see no.7).
The 6-in-1 Thermometer temperature reading taken on the
forehead of a healthy person can range between 35°C and
37.5°C (95 ºF and 99.5ºF), although in an adult it may be
even lower than 35°C (95°F) (in axillary mode).
To correctly judge a fever, you need to know the normal
temperatures of your family members when they are in
good health and at various times of the day. It may be
helpful to keep a record of temperature readings of different
family members so that you can work out what is a normal
temperature reading for them.
4. HOW TO USE
4.1 Taking the body temperature: FOREHEAD
• When using for the first time, insert 4 AAA batteries as
explained in no.11
Replacing batteries
.
• Open the protective cap by rotating it 90° (see fig. 2).
• Point the 6-in-1 Thermometer at the forehead.
• Press the “face”
button and hold it down. The two
aiming lights will turn on and you will see the temperature
reading projected onto the forehead between or
overlapping the sides of the projected rectangle shape.
• While keeping the 6-in-1 Thermometer perpendicular to
the centre of the forehead, move it back or forth until the
temperature reading is positioned evenly inside the
rectangle (see fig. 2): if the thermometer is too close, or too
far away, the temperature reading will overlap the sides of
the rectangle (see figs. 3 and 4).
• When the temperature reading sits evenly inside the
rectangle, the thermometer is at the correct distance (see
fig. 5); release the button, keep the thermometer steady
while the projection flashes and then read the temperature
value.
If necessary, you can immediately take another reading.
After the measurement has been taken, the light on the
button stays on and the projection of the temperature value
will remain visible for about 10 seconds, during which, if
desired (and especially in the case of self-measurement),
you can aim the thermometer against another surface to re-
read the temperature measured. This time you will not
need to worry about holding the thermometer the correct
distance from the surface as, in this case, the thermometer
is not taking a temperature, but merely projecting the
temperature value that has already been taken.
For the last 2 seconds, the projection will show the current
setting (Oral, Rectal, Axillary or Core - see no.7) before
turning itself off.
