Please read the instructions and warnings given in this handbook
carefully before use, and always keep it in a safe place.
Your new forehead thermometer detects body temperature in an absolutely precise
and painless way. It is ideal to carry out measurements on babies, even while they
are sleeping. The new infrared measurement technology offers a greater reliability
and above all a longer life of the instrument.
It is equipped with a wide LCD display for an easy reading. It has also an acoustic
signal for completed measurement of the body temperature and of automatic
switching-off after one minute of inactivity, which allows to extend the duration
of the batteries. It is really easy to be used and allows the measurement of body
and room temperature. It measures temperature in Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit
(°F) degrees. It stores in memory the last 25 measurements performed to evaluate
eventual variations.
NB: the temperature shown on the display is equal to the oral
temperature, i.e. temperature measured on the forehead is translated
as if it were measured in the mouth.

A HIGH TEMPERATURE
A high temperature should be considered a symptom and not an illness. Usually it
is the sign that our organism is fighting against an infection.
In fact, it represents a defensive reaction of our organism that is characterised by
an increase in body temperature above 37°C and by an increase in heartbeat and
breathing frequency.
The normal temperature inside our organism is around 37.5°C, which is the value
read with the rectal method, the temperature in the mouth is lower by about 0.5°C
(37°C), while that under the armpit is lower by 1°C (36.5°C).
