4.1. Measuring body temperature

This thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from the
forehead as well as objects. This energy is collected through
the lens and converted into a temperature value.
Before taking a measurement, try to remain in a steady-state
for 30 minutes in the room. Activities like exercise and eating
can affect your body's temperature and should not be
performed before/during a measurement, nor should a
measurement be taken immediately after such activities. For
the same reason, you should also not take a measurement
during/immediately after nursing an infant.
Always try to measure the same forehead location in order to
obtain comparable measurements; while keeping in mind that
body temperature changes through the day; highest in the
evening and lowest about one hour before waking up.
For reference, normal body temperature ranges are:
•Axillar: 94.5 - 99.1 °F (34.7 - 37.3 °C)
•Oral: 95.9 - 99.5 °F (35.5 - 37.5 °C)
•Rectal: 97.9 - 100.4 °F (36.6 - 38.0 °C)
•Non-Contact NC200 (FR1DG1): 95.7 - 99.4 °F (35.4 - 37.4 °C)
Remember to remove the thermometer's protective cover
before starting. Once started, do not remove the thermometer
from the measuring area until it has beeped; signaling that the
measurement is complete.
