User consideration:

• Before measuring ensure the measurement area (forehead) is not covered by hair, sweat, moisture or cosmetics as this can interfere with measurement outcomes

• Forehead temperature measurements can be influenced by environmental temperature. If the forehead is sweaty or clammy measure by aiming the unit behind the earlobe

• Ensure 15 seconds between each measurement

• The ambient temperature around the unit should be stable, do not measure in places with large air flow, such as fan air conditioning outlets

• Ensure the thermometer is in the correct mode which should always be Body mode and is visible on the measurement screen. Obj mode is a calibration mode and will not work for taking body temperatures

• Keep the thermometer a 1 metre distance away from electromagnetic items eg: mobile phones when performing a measurement
