The range of normal temperature varies from person to person and can be influenced
by many factors such as time of day, measure from different sites, level of activity,
medications, emotion and so on. So we recommend that you practice with the
Thermometer on yourself and family members when you are healthy. This way you know
how the thermometer works and can feel more confident of the measurements you take
when a family member is ill.
