The temperature taking technique is the general cause for a low reading. We recommend that you practice using the ear thermometer on yourself and other family members when you are healthy. This will improve your technique and you will feel more confident of the measurement you take when someone is ill. Completely read the instruction manual. A low reading can be caused by an ear infection.
