Key Rules for Accurate Temperature Measurement

• Avoid measuring body temperature within 30 minutes
after exercise, bathing, or returning from outdoors.
• Allow one minute between successive measurements,
as slight variations may occur if measurements are taken
over too short a period of time.
• There are no absolute body temperature standards. Keep
reliable records of your personal temperature to serve as
a reference for judging a fever.
• Measurements taken are for reference only; consult a
physician before taking medical action.
1. Consistent low temperature readings
• Ensure the device is being used correctly (see page 7,
"Measuring Temperature").
• The Measurement Sensor or Lens may be dirty and
require cleaning. Clean gently and thoroughly with an
alcohol swab. (see page 11, "Storage and Cleaning).
• Be aware that the Non-Touch Thermometer may
register lower readings when the object or patient's
forehead is damp, wet or perspiring.
2. Low battery warning
• When battery power is too low, the device will not
operate properly. Replace the batteries as needed.
