- How close should I hold it to the forehead?
- Hold it a few centimeters from the center of the forehead and stay still until it beeps. Distance is the biggest cause of odd readings, so keep it consistent each time.
- Is a forehead reading as accurate as an oral one?
- Not quite. Forehead infrared is close enough for spotting a fever, but an oral or rectal reading is the better check when the number matters.
- Does it work for adults too?
- Yes. It has no age switch, so the same forehead mode is used for children and adults.
- What does the memory function store?
- It keeps your recent readings so you can compare a fever over the day. Check the manual for how many readings it holds and how to clear them.
- Does it come with batteries?
- Most units ship with batteries included, but confirm on the box. It runs on standard batteries and shuts off automatically to save power.
- Can I use it on a crying or sweaty child?
- Wipe the forehead dry and wait a minute. Sweat, tears and movement all push the reading off.
