hair or clothing. If necessary, brush away any hair from the forehead but remember,
this must be done a few minutes beforehand or the temperature reading will be higher
than the actual body temperature.
8. When taking a temperature reading, please note that in the presence of oils,
make-up or an oxygen mask, and in the case of elderly, the temperature detected may
be lower than the actual body temperature (see also par. #4.2).
9. The forehead temperature reading can be aected by profuse sweating, super

cial wounds or head injury.
10. Do not use the thermometer on a sweaty forehead, since the temperature rea-
ding would be unreliable. Read the par. #4.2.
11. In the cases at #7, #8, #9, take the temperature reading on the alternative area

12. The gilt waveguide (g. 1) is the most delicate part of the thermometer. It is
composed of a gold-plated concave mirror that must be kept clean, crystal clear and
intact. Any damage, dust or dirt will alter the temperature reading. To prevent dust or
dirt inltrations in the waveguide, always close the cap.
13. Do not handle the thermometer for longer than strictly necessary before taking
the reading.
14. Do not use the thermometer in direct contact with the ear or other parts of the body.
