How To Use - Braun FHT 1000 Manual

The best way to determine your normal temperature range is to use the
thermometer when feeling well. Record readings twice a day (early morning and
late afternoon). Take the average of the two temperatures to calculate normal oral
equivalent temperature.
A child's normal temperature can be as high as 99.9°F or as low as 97.0°F.
Remeasure with a standard digital thermometer for confirmation, especially on
infants.
Fever guidance feature
Fever Guidance helps you to better understand the meaning of your child's
temperature with the color indicated on the display. The screen displays green if
no fever, yellow when the temperature is slightly elevated and a red alert for fever.
