Beurer FT 90: Influences on body temperature
Influences on body temperature: Beurer FT 90
Influences on body temperature
•
A person’s individual metabolism
•
Age
Body temperature is higher in babies and toddlers than in adults. Greater temperature fluc-
tuations occur faster and more often in children. Normal body temperature decreases with
age.
•
Clothing
•
Outside temperature
•
Time of day
Body temperature is lower in the morning and increases throughout the day towards even-
ing.
•
Activities
Physical and, to a lesser extent, mental activities increase body temperature.
Beurer tip
Taking the body temperature provides a current measurement of a person’s tem-
perature. If you are uncertain about interpreting the results or if the values are
abnormal (e.g. fever), please consult your doctor. This also applies in the case of
slight temperature changes if there are other symptoms of illness such as agita-
tion, severe sweating, ushed skin, fast pulse rate, tendency to collapse, etc.

The automatic and manual illuminated display cannot be used while measure-
ment is in progress.
6. Forehead measurement
Briey press the On/O button .
After a brief self-test and two short beeps the device is ready for forehead temperature
measurement. The device is in forehead temperature mode. This is indicated by the
symbol.
Beurer tip
Remember that
•
physical activity, increased perspiration on the forehead, taking vasoconstrictive
medication and skin irritations can distort the result,
•
the forehead, or the temples, must be free from perspiration and cosmetics.
26
Hold the thermometer 2 to 3 cm from the measuring point. Press the
SCAN button and move the thermometer from side to side over the
forehead area (g. 8).
During measurement you will hear short beeps (only if the acoustic sig-
nal is activated), which signal that the thermometer has found a new
highest measurement.
End of measurement is signalled by a long beep.
Release the SCAN button.
Fig. 8
You can now read the measured value.
In addition to the temperature, the fever
or no fever symbols also appear in the dis-
play:
The no fever symbol
indicates that the body temperature is within normal range; the
fever symbol
indicates a measurement equal to or higher than 38°C (100.4°F), which
triggers a temperature alarm.
If the acoustic signal is switched on, three beeps will sound once the measurement is com-
plete if the temperature is equal to or higher than 38°C (100.4 °F).
The measuring time is usually 2 seconds but may take up to 30 seconds.
When two short beeps sound and the forehead symbol
stops flashing, the device is
ready to take another measurement.
The measurement is automatically saved with the date/time and the “fever”
/ “no fever”
classification.
6.1 Displaying saved measurements
The device only stores measurements in forehead temperature mode . The device auto-
matically stores the values from the last 60 measurements.
When 60 storage places are exceeded the oldest value is deleted.
The memory can be called up as follows:
•
With the thermometer switched on, press and hold the MODE/MEM button for 5 seconds.
The most recent measurement is displayed.
•
With each subsequent pressing of the MODE/MEM button, first the storage space num-
ber is displayed followed by the measurement upon release.
