9. ts You are advised to read this instruction manual and follow directions carefully 3 The VeraTemp Professional Non Contact Thermometer is calibrated at the factory before shipping No calibration is necessary If there is a significant change in the surrounding temperature allow the thermometer to adjust to the new temperature for at least 15 minutes before use in order to obtain a reliable result It is important to allow at least 5 seconds before repeating or taking a new temperature measurement This is the approximate time that the result remains on the display after a reading is taken Body Temperature and Where It s Measured Body temperature is a measure of the body s ability to generate and dissipate heat In spite of large temperature variations in the environment the body is able to control its temperature within a narrow range When one is hot the blood vessels in the skin dilate and carry the excess heat to the skin surface You begin to sweat and as the sweat evaporates it helps to cool the body Conversely when the body is cold the blood flow to the skin is decreased allowing conservation of body heat The involuntary act of shivering causes the muscles to generate more heat that can be conserved Under normal conditions these reactions of the body to hot and cold keep body temperature within a narrow safe range Body temperature can be measured in many locations of the body Most commonly temperatur
