The temporal artery is connected to the heart via the  
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the new,  
revolutionary Philips SensorTouch Temple Thermometer.  
carotid artery, directly leading from the aorta, the main  
trunk of the arterial system. It is considered a major  
artery, offering constant blood flow. It is the only such  
artery positioned very close to the skin surface to provide  
an accurate measurement. It is ideally located at the front  
portion of the forehead, providing ease of use.  
SensorTouch is easier to use than other types of  
measurement devices such as oral, rectal, underarm and  
in-ear because it is non-invasive therefore, doesnt have to  
go into any orifices.This thermometer has been clinically  
tested in major university hospitals, with readings proven to  
be as accurate as rectal measurements.  
Your new Philips SensorTouch Temple Thermometer is the  
first and only totally non-invasive system with advanced  
infrared technology, providing maximum ease of use with  
quick, consistently accurate measurements.Advanced,  
patented technology measures temperature with a gentle  
stroke across the forehead.  
The SensorTouch Temple Thermometer is clinically proven  
as consistently accurate as rectal thermometers and accepted  
for use in major hospitals, making it the ideal thermometer  
for use with newborns, infants, children or adults.  
HOW DO ES THIS SENSO RTO UCH  
THERMO METER W O RK?  
The SensorTouch Temple Thermometer has patented  
software, providing arterial heat balance.This unique  
process determines temperature by accurately measuring  
the thermal balance between the tissues warming from  
arterial blood and tissue cooling caused by heat loss (gain)  
to the environment.  
The Philips SensorTouch Thermometer is the first totally  
non-invasive system with advanced infrared technology,  
providing maximum ease of use with instant, consistently  
accurate measurements.  
As you gently stroke the thermometer across the  
forehead crossing over the temporal artery, the sensor  
performs two processes:  
SensorTouch Temple Thermometer ... fast, accurate and  
totally non-invasive.  
• It scans like a video camera, capturing naturally  
emitted infrared heat from the arterial blood supply,  
locking in the highest temperature it senses and;  
• The patented system measures ambient air  
temperature at the very same time.  
W hy take tem perature m easurem ents at the

The best place to measure temperature is the center of  
the heart, however; this is an invasive procedure, used  
only when under a doctors supervision. Doctors know  
that measurement of the blood temperature in a main  
artery accurately reflects true body temperature.  
The SensorTouch Tem ple Therm om eter is  
designed to m easure tem perature directly via  
the skin surface over the tem poral artery.  
The patented “arterial heat balance” (AHB) software  
then synthesizes the two separate readings to accurately  
determine and display peak temperature.

deal for Infants and Children  
Body temperature is the temperature inside a persons  
body.Traditionally, this temperature is measured orally or  
rectally.These methods, however, take several minutes.  
Moreover, the accuracy of oral measurements can be  
effected by the breathing (causing a decrease in  
The Philips SensorTouch method is quick, simple, accurate  
and comfortable and therefore very suitable for measuring  
the temperature of children.You do not need to undress  
your child; a single stroke across the temple will produce  
an accurate result in only a few seconds. Small children  
even experience the “caress” with which you carry out  
the measurement as pleasant and comforting.  
temperature) or beverages that have just been consumed  
(causing either an increase or decrease in temperature).  
The best place to measure body temperature would be  
inside the heart.The infrared sensor of the Philips  
SensorTouch measures body temperature on the skin  
surface over the arteries in the temple.These arteries  
are in close connection with the heart and therefore  
quickly reflect changes in the bodys temperature. In  
addition, they lie close to the surface of the skin and are  
therefore very suitable for non-invasive measurement.  
Rectal measurement is generally considered the most  
accurate type of temperature measurement. Clinical tests  
have shown measurements carried out with the Philips  
SensorTouch Temple Thermometer to be just as  
accurate as rectal measurements.  
Norm al Tem perature  
“Normal temperature” is the body temperature of a  
healthy person. Not everybody has the same normal  
body temperature. Moreover, this temperature depends  
on the area on which it is measured, the time of day,  
the ambient temperature and the amount of  
physical exercise a person has had just before the  
measurement.  
A temperature measured with the Philips  
SensorTouch thermometer can be considered  
normal if it lies between 97.5F and 99.5F (36.4C -  
37.5C). It is recommended that you determine your  
normal temperature range (and that of your family  
members).You can do this by measuring your  
temperature at various times of the day.

Slowly slide the thermometer across the forehead,  
keeping the sensor flat and in contact with the skin until  
you have reached the area at the top of the ear.  
You will hear beeping and the LEDs will blink to indicate  
a measurement is taking place.  
Be careful not to keep the sensor on one spot for too  
long, the thermometer will indicate that the measure-  
ment has been completed before you have reached the  
temporal artery.
