The position of thermometer is vital to capturing accurate temperature measurements. Visitors must stand directly in front of the thermometer about 1-1.5 feet away. The reflection of the visitor's eyes should be visible on the face of the thermometer (see kiosk image below). The thermometer must face away from bright lights or hot surfaces and have a clear line of sight to the visitor's forehead.
