4. Information about this thermometer

The temperature measurement varies depending on the part of the body where the measurement 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 dif- ferent parts of the body. Normal temperature range with various thermometers: Measurements Thermometer used Forehead temperature 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 thermometer Beurer tip

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

• T ell your doctor what type of thermometer you used to take your body 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.39 Influences on body temperature

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

• A mbient temperature

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

• A ctivities Physical and, to a lesser extent, mental activities increase body temperature. Beurer tip Taking the body temperature provides a current measurement of a person’s temperature. If you are uncertain about interpreting the results or if the values are abnormal (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

8. Forehead measurement

Beurer tip Remember:

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

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

• W e recommend that you take three measurements on the forehead. If the three meas- urements are dierent, use the highest value.

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

It is important that you keep the thermometer still during measurement. Moving the ther- mometer during measurement may cause imprecise measurements. Forehead temperature mode

o switch on the thermometer, briefly press the button. After a brief self-test and two short beeps the device is ready for fore- head temperature measurement. The device is in forehead tem- perature mode. You can tell this from the symbol on the display. Fig. 1048 Forehead temperature mode

Hold the thermometer 2 to 3 cm in front of the forehead measuring point (Fig. 11). Press the SCAN button. Fig. 11 If the measurement is less than 37.5 °C (99.5 °F), the fever indicator lights up green and if appears on the display to indicate no fe- ver, this indicates that the body temperature is in the normal range. Fig. 12 If the measurement is between 37.5 °C and 37.9 °C, the fever indi- cator lights up yellow. This indicates that the body temperature is in an increased range. Fig. 1349 Forehead temperature mode If the measurement is over 38 °C (100.4 °F), the fever indicator lights up red and appears in the display. 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 fore
