What to do before taking a measurement
Make sure you follow these guidelines before taking a measurement:
- The user and Thermo have to remain in the same ambient temperature for 10 minutes before taking a measurement.
- The measurement has to be taken on dry skin. Sweaty skin could impact the results.
- Make sure the user's hair is not in the way.
- Wait at least 10 minutes after waking up before taking your measurement.
- Wait at least 15 minutes after a workout before taking your measurement.
- If you’re taking the temperature of a baby, make sure you wait at least 15 minutes after nursing them before taking a measurement.
- Do not take a measurement on a premature baby.
How to take a measurement
To take a measurement, follow these steps:
- Remove the protective cap.
- Put Thermo in front of the forehead without touching the skin.
- Starting from the center of the forehead, press and release the button of your Thermo and scan slowly across the forehead in a straight line to the temple.
Note: Direct contact with the skin is not necessary. Thermo can be up to 1 cm (0.5 in.) away from your skin. - Thermo will vibrate at the end of the measurement and the result will appear on the display.
- Slide your finger up or down on the touch-sensitive area of the display to select the correct user.
- Press the button to confirm your choice.
Your measurement will be sent to the app after your Thermo is turned off.
Note: Thermo can register approximately 30 measurements without syncing.
