The Forehead Thermometer measures infrared energy emitted from the skin above the eyebrow area and the surrounding tissue. This energy
is collected through the lens and converted to a temperature value. Temperature readings obtained by scanning the skin above the eyebrow
area will provide the greatest accuracy.
