if the thermometer is too far away, or too close, the temperature will not fall
between the two arches (fig. 4 and 5).

• When you see the temperature at the midpoint between the two arches (fig. 6),
the thermometer is at the right distance: release the button and keep the projection
flashes and read the temperature value.
You can also read the temperature on the display, lit in light blue.
If necessary, you can immediately take another reading.
• Close the protective cap.
When the thermometer remains idle for 20 seconds, it reverts to stand-by mode
and will display the room temperature for 45 minutes ("DOCT" mode) or 30 minutes
("NURS" mode) before shutting off.
4.2 In case of sweating, oxygen mask, elderly patients: take
the reading on the eyelid
In case of perspiring forehead, oxygen mask, elderly patients - especially with
wrinkled forehead - , the measurement must be taken on the eyelid.
Proceed as you would do for a forehead reading, using the "FACE"
but taking a scan of the closed eyelid (fig. 7).
No need to worry that the patient could open the eyes while you are taking the
reading: the lights are harmless.
Precision is not guaranteed, but such reading can be considered a valid approximation
of one's body temperature. Such reading is also indicated when one has oil or
make-up on the forehead.
