Beurer tip
• Temperatures measured with different thermometers should never be compared
with one another.
• Tell your doctor what type of thermometer you used to take your temperature
and on what part of the body. Also bear this in mind if you are diagnosing your-
self.
Holding the thermometer for too long in the hand before taking a measurement can
cause the device to warm up. This means the measurement could be incorrect.
