• The precise sensing system records the heat emit-
ted naturally through the skin. If the thermometer
is not moved over the temple, the temperature re-
corded may be lower.
• It is advisable to take the temperature 2 - 3 times
and to record the highest value.
• In some patients the forehead temperature may
differ as a result of environmental factors and it is
advisable to take and record your forehead tem-
perature when healthy.
• The measurement of forehead temperature is an
excellent point of reference for recognising raised
body temperature.
• If you are in any doubt about the temperature
measured, please measure it again in the ear and,
for the sake of accuracy, record the highest value.
• Measurement should be conducted in ear mode
only.
• To measure water temperature, keep the probe
at least 1cm (± 0.5 cm) above the surface of the
water. The greater the distance from the surface of
the water, the less accurate the measured values
will be.
