WHAT IS A "NORMAL" TEMPERATURE?

Body temperature is a complex, non-linear data point, subject to many sources of internal and external variations. A normal body temperature mean and range (males and females combined) for axillary is 36.3°C (35.5°C - 37.0°C) / 97.3°F (95.9°F - 98.6°F).

Note:

  • Please consult your physician when your baby's temperature is out of the above normal range.
  • Axillary temperatures are generally 0.5°C /1.0°F lower than oral readings.

BLUETOOTH PAIRING

You can transmit your data from the monitor to your devices via Bluetooth. Please contact your local customer service or place of purchase for assistance. Please note that you must complete the pairing between the monitor and the Bluetooth receiver before transmitting the data.

Pairing with your mobile device
