• Children under 1 year: For an infant, it is best to have the 

child lying flat with head sideways so the ear is facing up-

wards.

• Children 1 year and older: It is best to stand behind and 

slightly to the side of them when taking a measurement.

strate the process by putting the ear thermometer in your

toddler may have.

the °F or the °C symbol is

is ready to be placed in the

ear. One dashed line will appear
