Inaccurate Temperature Readings

Symptom: Readings seem unusually high, low, or inconsistent.

Steps to resolve

  1. Ensure the sensor tip is placed high in the center of the armpit with full skin contact.
  2. Confirm the underarm area is clean and completely dry.
  3. Wait at least 30-90 seconds after placement for the reading to stabilize.
  4. Keep the arm pressed firmly against the torso during measurement.
  5. Avoid measuring immediately after physical activity, eating, or bathing – rest indoors for 10-15 minutes first.
  6. Ensure the room is free of drafts, direct sunlight, or heating/cooling airflow directed at the person.
  7. Always use the same armpit for consistent comparison.

If readings remain inconsistent after following these steps, contact Baby FM support.
