Temperature taking hints
Before having temperature measured, individuals should be indoors for at least
30 minutes.
Hold the thermometer flush against the forehead and swipe slowly from above
the eyebrow down to the temple, and back again. Swiping too slow or too fast
may impact your reading.
DO NOT remove the thermometer from the forehead before hearing the final
beep.
Nursing mothers should not take a temperature measurement on themselves
or have their temperature measured by another individual while or immediately
after nursing a baby, as nursing can affect body temperature.
DO NOT use the TempleSwipe™ Thermometer in high humidity environments.
Individuals should not drink, eat, or be physically active before/while taking
the measurement.
Before placing the thermometer sensor onto the forehead, remove dirt, hair,
or sweat.
Use an alcohol swab to carefully clean the sensor and wait for 5 minutes before
taking a measurement on another Individual. Wiping the forehead with a warm
or cool cloth may impact your reading. It is advised to wait 15 minutes before
taking a reading.
ALWAYS take the temperature in the same location, since the temperature
readings may vary from different locations on the forehead.
In the following situations, it is recommended that three temperatures be taken
and the highest one used as the reading:
• Infants within the first 100 days of their birth.
• Children under three years of age with a compromised immune system and
for whom the presence or absence of fever is critical.
• When the user is learning how to use the thermometer for the first time
until he/she has familiarized himself/herself with the instrument and obtains
consistent readings.
Memory mode
The Braun TempleSwipe™ Thermometer includes a memory feature to recall the
last temperature reading. The last temperature taken is stored in its memory and
will be automatically displayed for 2 seconds when it is turned on.
