8.Temperature Taking Tips for
Accurate Measurement
1. Always start with a clean thermometer to
maintain measurement accuracy and
hygiene. Pay extra attention to the sensor
lens as any obstruction, such as dust or
grease on the lens will prevent an accurate
measurement.
2. If the sensor lens is dirty, please clean
before use (Refer to Care and Cleaning
section). A clean sensor lens should be
reflective and gleaming. If it looks dull and
lackluster, then it is dirty and requires
cleaning.
3. Make sure both user and thermometer
have remained at a constant ambient
temperature for at least 30 minutes. Recent
exposure of the thermometer to hot or cold
temperatures will affect the reading.
4. Please use the thermometer indoor or in
an environment where there is no strong air
draft, such as from a fan, air conditioning or
heater.
5. Before measuring forehead temperature,
remove anything that may interfere with
infra-red detection such as hair, sweat, or
makeup/oil.
6. Do not move when taking temperature.
7. Do not hold the thermometer for a long
time as it is highly sensitive to ambient
temperature and heat.
Note: As with any thermometer, proper
technique is critical to obtain accurate
measurements. Failure to follow
instructions will result in inaccurate
readings.
