Answer:

Position the thermometer in the center of the forehead, just above and between the eyebrows. Be sure to hold the thermometer flush against the forehead. It is important to hold the thermometer and the forehead steady during measurement. Movement will impact the temperature reading.

If the forehead area is covered with hair, sweat, or dirt, please remove the hair or clean the area, and then wait 10 minutes before taking a temperature measurement.

Hold thermometer steady. DO NOT swipe.
