For individuals measuring their own temperature, it is recommended to use the touch
option instead of no touch.
Individuals should not drink, eat, or be physically active before/while taking the
measurement. Remove hats and wait 10 minutes before taking a measurement.
Remove dirt or hair from the forehead before taking a measurement. The presence of
bangs may cause higher readings. Wait 10 minutes after washing the forehead area
before taking a reading.
ALWAYS take the temperature exactly as directed. Temperature results may vary if
positioned in the wrong location.
In the following situations it is recommended that three temperatures in the same
location be taken and the highest one taken as the reading:
• Newborn infants within the first 100 days.
• 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 device and obtains consistent
readings.
General precautions:
• Remove any sweat with a dry cloth prior to measuring.
• Avoid any cooling or warming cloths on the forehead for at least 30 minutes prior
to measurement.
• DO NOT take temperature measurements over scar tissue, open sores or abrasions.
• Keep the measurement sensor and lens clean. Avoid directly touching the sensor
or lens.
• ALWAYS store the thermometer with the protective cap in place to prevent dirt
and scratches from damaging the device.
• Make sure to remove the protective cap before taking a measurement and to put
the cap back on after using the thermometer.
