6. When taking the measurement, make sure the probe lens is 1 to 3cm away from the centre of the forehead
7. When measuring the temperature of an infant, note that infant body temperature is generally higher than adult body temperature and easily affected by external factors. For example, body temperature tends to increase after nursing or crying. Therefore, it is recommended to take measurements when the infant is calm
8. Keep still during the measurement
9. Take three measurements, if they are different, select the highest temperature
10. The reading will be stored automatically in the memory
11. Holding the thermometer too long may cause a higher ambient temperature reading of the probe. This could make the body temperature measurement lower than usual
12. Forehead and ear thermometer readings can be different due to one being an external reading and the other an internal reading.
13. Do not store the thermometer in a cold room
