Quick, Convenient Temperature Checker
I'm very pleased with this infrared thermometer. Be sure to follow the instructions to calibrate it after inserting the batteries (2 AA). Don't neglect to let it sit at your room temperature for 15 minutes before calibration. I was too eager the first time, and followed the calibration procedure after only about 5 minutes. I got it to match the temperature of my digital, oral thermometer, but it was drastically different when I used it after half an hour. I re-calibrated it, and since then it has been consistently accurate. I can reassure myself that I haven't developed a fever quickly and easily at any time, and I don't have to wash it after each use. The last time I was at a hospital, the admissions person was using....."TA DA" a Berrcom JXB-178 to check peoples' temperature. It's good enough for the hospital, so it's good enough for me.
