Helpful Hints
•
For accurate results, wait at least 30 minutes after exercising, bathing or
returning from the outdoors.
•
Wait at least 1 minute between readings.
•
If multiple readings are taken over a short period of time, use the
average of those readings.
•
Because everyone’s temperature varies slightly, keep a record of your
body temperature to serve as a reference when judging a fever.
