Q1: How accurate and reliable is this thermometer?
A: The DMT-77 is clinically accurate and designed to provide reliable temperature readings when used correctly. It stores up to 20 readings, making it easy to monitor temperature changes and compare readings over time.
Q2: What's the difference between forehead and ear measurements?
A: Forehead mode provides a quick, non-invasive temperature check. Ear mode measures closer to the eardrum and is generally considered the more reliable method for measuring body temperature. Ear mode is suitable for babies 6 months and older.
Q3: How can I get the most accurate reading?
A: Let the thermometer adjust to room temperature before use, avoid taking a reading immediately after coming in from extreme heat or cold, keep the lens clean with the included cloth, and gently straighten the ear before taking an ear reading.
Q4: Why would I use Silent Vibration Mode?
A: Silent Vibration Mode notifies you when the reading is ready without a loud beep. It's ideal for checking a sleeping baby or child and for older adults who may not hear audio alerts as easily.
Q5: Do I need to use probe covers?
A: No. You can take accurate temperature readings without probe covers, saving you the cost and hassle of buying replacements. Just clean the lens regularly with the included cloth.
