2before use
If the ambient temperature of the thermometer changes, such as moving it from somewhere hot to cold, allow the thermometer to remain in the room for 30 minutes before using.
The ambient temperature around the test person should be stable, measure away from fans, air-conditioning, strong sun and so on.
If the test person has moved from hot room to a cold room or vice versa please allow 5 minutes before measuring.
Please wait at least 1 second before each reading. If 5 continuous measurements are reached, please wait at least 30 seconds before taking another reading.
Be sure to understand all warnings listed in the instructions before use.
