The blue backlight makes temperatures easy to read, even in the dark. WAND stores your last 25 readings for easy recall. Automatically reads "oral equivalent" temperatures. Change to surface mode and measure surface temps of other common items to 176 degrees F (80 degrees C). It's helpful to know each individual's normal temperature when they are well. This is the best way to accurately diagnose a fever. To get a reference value, we suggest taking multiple readings (5 to 10) over one minute, taking the highest number to determine "normal temperature". **EMC/RFI:Readings may be affected if the unit is operated within radio frequency electromagnetic field strength of approximately 3 volts per meter, but the performance of the instrument will not be permanently affected. *FDA-cleared for safety & accuracy for kids and adults. ThermoWorks Wand Thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from the skin at the center of the forehead area. This captured energy is collected through the lens and converted to a body temperature value (Displays oral V temperature).
