Introduction
Body Temperature
body locations is due to the human body and not the
thermometer. The Accu-Touch Forehead thermometer readings
are equivalent to oral measurements.
IMPORTANT
• It is recommended that you measure the body temperature of
each individual when healthy to establish a normal temperature.
• Due to the unique body physiology of each person, it is
recommended that you take a person's temperature at the same
temple location to compare measurements.
Information on Fever
A fever is a body temperature that exceeds an individual's normal body
temperature range. Except in the cases of newborn infants, the presence
of a fever is not necessarily a cause for concern. In fact, a fever can help
the immune system to work more effectively. However, a physician
should be consulted if a fever is accompanied by vomiting; diarrhea;
changes in appetite, breathing, or activity level; or, in the case of
children, irritability, lethargy, or sleepiness.
Memory Function
The Accu-Touch Forehead Thermometer memory function stores the
last measurement. This measurement will appear for approximately two
seconds after the thermometer initializes when turned on. Then the
ready display will show. This feature allows you to compare each
measurement to the prior one.
Automatic Shut-Off
Automatic shut-off occurs after one minute of no activity.
