Specific Notes for Measuring Forehead
Temperature
Inforeheadmode,itisnotuncommonforvariancesin
temperaturebetweendifferentpartsof theforehead.Thisis
becauseforeheadtemperatureisaffectedby:
•Proximityofthetemperatureprobetobloodveins,sincean
areawhichhasmoreveinsclosetotheskinwillbewarmer
thananareathathasboneundertheskin.
•Environmentalfactorssuchasexposuretoheatorcold.
Forexample,sittingnexttoahotradiatororcoldair
conditioningunitwilldirectlyaffectforeheadtemperature,and
canevenensurethatthetemperatureononesideof thehead
isdifferenttotheother.
Soeverytimeyouplacetheprobeonyourforehead,itis
likelytobeinadifferentpartof yourhead.Thisiswhyour
thermometertakesforeheadtemperaturebyscanningtheprobe
fromonetempletotheother,asthismeasuresthehighest
temperatureacrossthewholeforehead.See“MeasuringForehead
Temperature”forfullinstructions.
