4. Information about this thermometer

The temperature measurement varies depending on the part of the body where the measure- ment is taken. In a healthy person, the variance can be between 0.2 °C and 1 °C (0.4 °F and

1.8 °F) in dierent parts of the body.

Normal temperature range with various thermometers: Measurements Thermometer used Forehead temper- ature

35.8 °C to 37.6 °C (96.4 °F to 99.7 °F) Forehead thermometer

Ear temperature 36.0 °C to 37.8 °C (96.8 °F to 100.0 °F) Ear thermometer Oral temperature 36.0 °C to 37.4 °C (96.8 °F to 99.3 °F) Conventional thermometer Rectal temperature 36.3 °C to 37.8 °C (97.3 °F to 100.0 °F) Conventional thermometer38 Beurer tip

• T emperatures measured with dierent thermometers should never be compared with one another.

ell your doctor what type of thermometer you used to take your temperature and on what part of the body. Also bear this in mind if you are diagnosing yourself. Holding the thermometer in your hand for too long before taking a measurement can cause the device to warm up. This means the measurement could be incorrect. Influences on body temperature

Body temperature is higher in babies and toddlers than in adults. Greater temperature fluctu- ations occur faster and more often in children. Normal body temperature decreases with age.

• T ime of day Body temperature is lower in the morning and increases throughout the day towards evening. Activities

• P hysical and, to a lesser extent, mental activities increase body temperature.39 Beurer tip Taking the body temperature provides a current measurement of a person’s temper- ature. If you are uncertain about interpreting the results or if the values are abnor- mal (e.g. fever), please consult your doctor. This also applies in the case of slight temperature changes if there are other symptoms of illness such as agitation, heavy sweating, flushed skin, fast pulse rate, tendency to collapse, etc.40

7. Switching on and setting the thermometer

To switch on the thermometer, briefly press the / SCAN button. After a brief self-test and two short beeps the thermometer is ready for forehead measure- ment. The device always starts up in forehead temperature mode . Set the basic functions This menu allows you to set the following functions individually, one after another. Time format Date Time Temperature measurement unit Acoustic signal Illuminated display43 Time format

Insert the batteries or press and hold the LIGHT/ SET button for 4 seconds when the thermome- ter is switched on. The time format flashes on the display (Fig. 1).

Use the MODE/MEM button to set your preferred time format, and confirm with the LIGHT/SET but- ton.

Fig. 846 Illuminated display You can also activate the illuminated display manually by briefly pressing the LIGHT/ SET button. The display lights up for 5 seconds. The automatic and manual illuminated display cannot be used while measure- ment is in progress.

8. Forehead measurement

Beurer tip Remember:

• P hysical activity, increased perspiration on the forehead, taking vasoconstrictive medication and skin irritations can distort the measurement.

• T he forehead, or the temples, must be free from perspiration and cosmetics.

e recommend that you take three measurements on the forehead. If the three measurements are dierent, use the highest value.

• I f the forehead area is covered in hair, sweat or dirt, clean the area and then wait for 10 minutes to improve the precision of the measurement.

t is important that you keep the thermometer still during measurement. Moving the thermometer during measurement may cause imprecise measurements.47 Forehead temperature mode

• T o switch on the thermometer, briefly press the / SCAN but- ton. After a short self-test, the device is ready for forehead tem- perature measurement. The device is in forehead temperature mode. You can tell this from the symbol on the display. Fig. 9

• H old the thermometer 4 to 6 cm in front of the forehead meas- uring point (Fig. 10). Press the / SCAN button. The display shows the required measuring distance of 4-6cm. Fig. 1048 Forehead temperature mode Measuring distance 4 to 6 cm Measuring distance NOT 4 to 6 cm Once the thermometer has detected the correct measur- ing distance of 4 to 6 cm, the measurement starts automati- cally. The fever/distance indica- tor now lights up continuously in blue. After a few seconds, the measurement appears on the display (Fig. 12). The end of the measurement is signalled by a long beep. If the measuring distance is not 4 to 6cm, the fever/distance in- dicator flashes blue (the device also beeps if the acoustic signal is switched on) and 4-6 appears on the display (Fig. 11). If the correct measuring distance is not found after 20 seconds, the measure- ment ends automatically. Fig. 12 Fig. 11 If the measurement is less than 37.5 °C (99,5 °F), if the fever/ distance indicator lights up green and if appears on the display to indicate no fever, this indicates that the body tem- perature is in the normal range. Fig. 13 If the measurement is between 37.5 °C and 37.9 °C, the fever/ distance indicator lights up yellow. This indicates that the body temperature is in an increased range (Fig. 13).49 Forehead temperature mode If the measurement is more than 38 °C (100,4 °F), if the fever/ distance indicator lights up in red and if appears on the display (Fig. 14), this indicates that the body temperature is above the normal range. Fig. 14 The measurement is automatically saved with the date/time and the “fever” / “no fever” classification. The device is ready to take another measurement when two short beeps sound and the forehead symbol stops flashing. Displaying stored measurements The device only stores measurements in forehead temperature mode . The device auto- matically stores the values from the last 60 measurements. When 60 memory spaces are exceeded, the oldest value is deleted.

• T he memory can be called up as follows:

With the thermometer switched on, press and hold the MODE/MEM button for 5 seconds. The most recent measurement is displayed.

ith each subsequent pressing of the MODE/MEM button, first the memory space number is displayed, followed by the measurement when the button is released.

• I n the upper line, the time and date are displayed alternately.50

9. Measuring object temperature/room temperature

Object temperature mode If you want to measure an object temperature with this thermometer, switch to object temperature mode.

old the thermometer 2 to 3 cm from the measuring point. Briefly press the / SCAN button and read the temperature on the display (Fig. 16). Fig. 16Fig. 15 Measurements taken in object temperature mode are not stored. Room temperature mode If you want to use the thermometer to measure the room temperature you need to switch to room temperature mode.

• W ith the thermometer switched on, briefly press the MODE/MEM button twice. The device switches to room temperature mode .

• T he room temperature is immediately displayed (Fig. 17). Fig. 17 Measurements taken in room temperature mode are not stored.51
