- How close should I hold it to the forehead?
- Hold it a few centimeters from the center of the forehead, following the markings in the manual. Moving closer or farther changes the reading.
- Is it accurate enough to replace an oral thermometer?
- It is fine for quick screening, but forehead infrared reads surface temperature. For a confirmed fever, follow up with an oral or rectal thermometer.
- Does it work for children?
- Yes, the no-touch design suits children, but check the manual for the age range the maker recommends and take readings the same way each time.
- Can I switch it to Celsius?
- Yes, it toggles between Fahrenheit and Celsius, usually with a button or a mode setting.
- Does it remember past readings?
- Yes, it stores recent readings in memory so you can compare checks over the day.
- What powers it?
- It runs on batteries, so keep spares on hand; there is no rechargeable battery or app connection.
