What is a “NormalTemperature?  
Although the generally accepted “normal” temperature reading is 98.6oF, tempera-  
ture readings can vary from 97oF to 99oF and still may be considered “normal”.  
Variations in temperature can be attributed to activities such as exercise, smoking,  
eating and drinking. Even time of day may influence your temperature. For exam-  
ple, your temperature is lower in the morning than in the afternoon. Other variations  
may be due to the location of the temperature reading. While the oral temperature  
follows the guidelines previously described, a rectal temperature is generally 1.0oF  
higher. Conversely, an axillary (under the arm) temperature will be 1.0oF lower.  
98.1oF  
97.7oF  
97.9oF  
97.9oF  
NOTE: Drinking hot or cold fluids, exercis-  
ing, smoking or performing other activities  
may raise or lower your temperature.  
Therefore, it is important to relax for  
approximately 5 minutes with your mouth  
closed prior to taking a reading  
NOTE: Performance of the device may be degraded if: operated outside of  
stated temperature and humidity range; stored outside of stated temperature  
and humidity range; thermometer undergoes mechanical shock (drop); patient  
temperature is below ambient temperature.
