• Fever alarm for temperatures over 37.5° C (99.5 °F)
• Switchable between °C and °F
Different types of thermometers measure body temperature differently. The resulting temperature varies depending on the
part of the body where the measurement is taken. Temperatures in various parts of the body can vary up to two degrees
Fahrenheit.
Measurement Location
Forehead temperature
Ear temperature
Oral temperature
NOTE: Temperatures measured with different thermometers cannot be compared. You should tell your doctor or keep in mind
if you are measuring for yourself what type of thermometer you use and in which part of the body.
Temperature is also influenced by:
• Individual metabolism
• Age (body temperature is higher in babies and small children and falls with increasing age. Greater temperature fluctuations
occur faster and more often in children)
• Clothing
• Outside temperature
• The time of day (body temperature is lower in the morning and increases slightly throughout the day).
• Physical and, to a lesser extent, mental activity.
NOTE: Taking your temperature provides information about your current state of well-being. If you are uncertain about
interpreting the results or if the result is abnormal (e.g. fever), consult your doctor. This also applies in the case of slight
temperature changes if there are other symptoms of illness such as agitation, severe sweating, flushed skin, fast pulse
rate, tendency to collapse, etc.
