Take Your First Temperature Reading
Preparation
- Rest indoors for 10-15 minutes before measuring.
- Ensure the underarm area is clean and completely dry (sweat may affect readings).
- Remove bulky clothing from the measurement area.
- Avoid drafts, direct sunlight, or air conditioning blowing on the person.
Steps:
- Open the Baby FM app and confirm the thermometer is connected (status: "Connected").
- Lift the arm and place the thermometer probe tip high in the center of the armpit, ensuring full skin contact.
- Lower the arm and press it snugly against the torso.
- Minimize movement during the reading.
- Watch the live temperature in the app. Allow 30-90 seconds for the value to stabilize.
- Once the reading plateaus (the value stops rising), this is your temperature result.
- The measurement is automatically saved to your history.
Tips for best results
- Keep the arm firmly closed throughout the measurement.
- Use the same armpit each time for consistent results.
- For babies or children, gently hold the arm in place, or measure while the child is calm or asleep.
- If you reposition the device, wait an additional 30-60 seconds for the reading to re-stabilize.
