Operation Manual

General Information

• It can be difficult to take an infant’s temperature because

they are usually wrapped up in blankets or clothes. Push

aside any clothing or blankets covering the neck area for

30 seconds or so and repeat the measurement. If you feel

that the temperature behind the ear lobe is too low, or if

there is no perspiration, compare the reading with the fore-

head temperature reading at least once.

• Sweating causes extra cooling of the skin, which results in

an incorrectly low reading. For this reason, it is not recom-

mended to take the temperature after wiping the forehead.

• Wait about 30 seconds before measuring the same area

again to prevent excessive cooling of the skin.

Temperature Ranges

Body temperature means the body’s internal temperature. The

normal temperature of even a healthy person varies a little

within a short range. The temperature of a person measured

in the evening is normally 0.5 ºC higher than in the early mor-

ning. It can also be affected by the environment, time and

activity. Refer to the picture below to determine the normal

body temperature ranges.
