7.1 Measuring forehead temperature
The thermometer measures the infrared radiation emitted by the skin on the
forehead and the temple area and by the surrounding tissue. The radiation is
picked up by the sensor and converted into temperature values. The most precise
values are obtained when you scan the entire area starting from the middle
of the forehead and over the temple.
