5. GUIDELINES FOR MEASURING TEMPERATURE
To ensure that the reading always shows your body temperature accurately, you
must take into account the following factors that may affect the measurement.
1. It is important to know the normal healthy temperature of each individual. This
is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever. To determine normal temperature,
take several temperature measurements when the individual is healthy. Measure
the temperature with a standard digital thermometer to confirm.
2. Users must be indoors for 30 minutes before taking a reading. Note: Users and the
thermometer should be in the same temperature environment for at least 10 mi-
nutes before taking a reading.
3. Users should not drink, eat or be physically active before taking a reading, inc-
luding bathing, showering, shampooing or drying their hair. Before each mea-
surement, remove any head covering, remove hair from the forehead and wait
10 minutes.
4. Oils or cosmetics on the forehead may lead to a lower reading than the actual
body temperature.
5. Keeping your hand on your forehead for any length of time will effect the reading.
6. Do not measure the temperature on scarred skin, open wounds or abrasions.
7. Do not measure the temperature on a sweaty forehead. The resulting reading may
be distorted.
