Frequently Asked Questions
- The unit has been stored in a cold room. When the unit has been stored in a cold room, the measured temperature may be rather high if you measure the temperature shortly after bringing the unit to a room that is at normal temperature. Measure temperature after leaving the unit for 30 minutes in the room where it will be used. It is advisable to store the unit in the room where you are going to measure temperature.
- The probe lens has been exposed to direct sunlight.
- Measurement was taken shortly after the subject cried.
- Crying can increase facial temperature.
Sterilization with chemical (including alcohol) might transform the surface of the product. Do not sterilize it with any chemical.
You can clean the pencil thermometer with a cloth containing neutral detergent.
This unit measures the temperature of the surface of the forehead by sensing infrared emission of the skin at the measured point & then calculates the oral-equivalent value using a unique algorithm based on actual body temperature survey data.
- Measurements were not taken at the same location.
- The probe lens is dirty.
Normal body temperature is in the range of 36.5–37.5 °C on the average, although it varies somewhat among individuals (gender, age). Additionally, temperature can vary according to physical activities, throughout the day, & due to external factors, e.g. with the change of seasons. Normal body temperature may change during any given day. It is usually highest in the evening. Body temperature is typically elevated after physical activity.
Body temperature is a basic condition for the proper operation of the cells. It is configured by many internal organs with the control of the nervous system on the delicate balance of heat production & heat loss. This mechanism (called thermoregulation) ensures the stable operation of vital functions by keeping the body at optimum operating internal temperature.
Normal temperature varies with the individual & also changes depending on the time through the day.
To find out one's normal temperature, therefore we recommend performing regular measurements under the following conditions:
- Measure with the same thermometer
- Measure at the same area
- Measure at the same time of day
