In the following situations it is recommended that three temper-
atures are taken with the highest one taken as the reading:
1. Children under three years of age with a compromised
immune system and for whom the presence or absence of
fever is critical.
2. When the user is learning how to use the thermometer for
the first time until he/she has familiarized himself/herself with
the device and obtains consistent readings.
