MEASURING METHODS
• In the mouth (oral):
Put the thermometer underneath your tongue. The instrument
must have good contact with the tongue. Close the mouth and
breath calmly through your nose in order not to influence the
measurement by the inhaled air. Minimum measuring time: 60
seconds
• In the anus (rectal):
This is the most reliable method and the most appropriate for
babies and children. Carefully immerse the tip of the thermo-
meter 2-3 cm into the anus. Minimum measuring time: 60 se-
conds
• Underneath the arm (axillary):
Under medical aspects this measuring method will lead to in-
accurate results. Therefore it is not appropriate to get exact
measurements. Minimum measuring time: 100 seconds
