Anna M Di Giorgo: Direi che fa il suo dovere avvicinatevi alla fronte quando dovete rilevare la temperatura,non fatelo da distanze tipo 3 4 cm

Daniele: Il termometro funziona ed è facile da usare. Sembra preciso e, come tutti gli strumenti di misurazione, per avere una lettura accurata, conviene fare più misure dello stesso posto e poi fare la media. Comunque la devianza è -+0,2 gradi Celsius

Doug BDoug B: I got tired of using my "rub across your forehead/stick it in your ear" thermometer and IR "point at forehead and read" thermometers have been around for years now so I figured it was time to upgrade. There are a lot of "forehead only" thermometers but I also wanted one that could read the temperature on surfaces. After looking at several candidate products, I selected this Berrcom unit and have been happy with it, especially for the price.

The first thing I did was to compare the reading between this thermometer and the previous unit I have been using for years on my forehead and they measured exactly the same temperature which was a good vote of confidence. It is nice to just point and shoot and have a reading in a second instead of having to rub my old one back and forth across my forehead not knowing if it is always flat against my forehead. It is not shown in the picture, but the background lights up green when your temperature is in a good healthy range, and red when it is above normal.

Next, I put this product into "surface temperature" measuring mode and checked the wall temperature next to my house air conditioning/heating control unit and they measured the...

Russell Taylor: Repeatability is the sign of a good thermometer. If I take a temp multiple times in quick succession in generally the same spot, the results should be fairly consistent if the device is of sufficient quality to be reliable. I get excellent consistent readings with this. We have several, big-ish house, we got tired of chasing down where it was at. My adult son and his wife have suites in our home. Did they use it last? Was it in the master bedroom? The living room? Office? Training room? Who knows… So we bought more, one for every major place people might want to check for a fever… Now they stay in a drawer in the given location, no need to take it upstairs, there is already 3 upstairs…. Another measure is consistency across devices. My household recently all got COVID-19. We all had fevers. I had need to test in multiple locations around the house. The readings from device to device were also really consistent.

It is important to know your norms, personally. I know what my temp runs, on these devices, when I’m healthy. So, it easy for me to see mid-grade fevers as they develop, but once you cross into serious fever range, it lights up red/orange and yells at you…...

Dave NDave N: The instructions that came in the box did not include steps to calibrate the device.
I figured out how to setup and calibrate the device which I’ll summarize below.
Overall the thermometer is both accurate and produced consistent Body temperature readings by scanning 3-5cm from the forehead.
I tested consistency by scanning my temperature 10 times over an hour and yielded the same temperature each time.
Model No.: JXB-178
Steps:
Open the box indoors.
Do not touch the infrared reader which is the barrel of the scanner.
Read the instructions to familiarize yourself with the buttons.
Install 2 AA batteries at the base of the handle with one oriented + and the other - according to the signs on the inside of the lid.
Pull the trigger to turn on the thermometer.
Let the thermometer stand out of the box for 15 minutes so that the device temperature reaches equilibrium with the ambient room temperature.
After 15 minutes, pull the trigger to turn on the device.
Select Body mode by pressing the MODE button.
Press and hold the MODE button for 2 seconds. You should hear 1 beep and see a flashing F-1.
Press the MODE button to toggle between...
