The thermometer is designed to measure the temperature in the forehead, in proximity
to the temple area, between the eye socket and the hairline. It is important to know
that the thermal characteristics of each measurement body location – temporal, axillar,
oral or rectal - are unique. The variance in temperature measurement in different body
locations is due to the human body and not the thermometer.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended to measure the body temperature when
healthy to establish the specific "normal" temperature
9. Troubleshooting and special indications
