2. How the Forehead Thermometer Measures Body Temperature

The Forehead Thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from the skin above of the
eyebrow area and the surrounding tissue. This energy is collected through the lens and
converted to a temperature value. Temperature readings obtained by scanning above the
eyebrow area will provide the greatest accuracy.
The Forehead Thermometer has been clinically tested and proven to be safe and
accurate when used in accordance with its operating instruction manual.
