1. Introduction
Dear customer, thank you for purchasing our Medical Infrared
Thermometer. This device can be used to measure human body
temperature by detecting infrared energy emitted from the
forehead.
In order to obtain accurate readings, please read this manual
before use.
Keep this manual so that you may read it whenever necessary.
Models covered for this manual and their differences are as follows:
Aside from the above differences, the expected use of the two
models is exactly the same.
Model
PC828 At the end of temperature measurement,
the buzzer gives a ‘beep’ cue.
PC828EV At the end of temperature measurement,
the speaker broadcasts the temperature in English.
Difference
Medical infrared thermometer 1 pc
Storage bag 1 pc
User’s manual 1 pc
AAA dry cell battery (optional) 2 pcs

3.1 Overview
The Medical Infrared Thermometer measures body temperature
based on detecting infrared energy emitted from the forehead.
Users can quickly obtain measurement results after properly
positioning the temperature probe on the forehead.
Normal body temperature has a range. The following table shows
that this range also varies by measuring temperature at different
sites. Therefore, readings from different sites should not be directly
compared. It is very important to tell your doctor which type of
thermometer you used and which part of the body you measured.
Also keep this in mind if you are diagnosing yourself.
3. Product description
Measuring site Normal temperature range
Forehead 36.1‒37.5℃ (97.0‒99.5℉)
Ear 35.8‒38.0℃ (96.4‒100.4℉)
Mouth 35.5‒37.5℃ (95.9‒99.5℉)
Anus 36.6‒38.0℃ (97.9‒100.4℉)
Axilla 34.7‒37.3℃ (94.5‒99.1℉)
3.2 Intended use
The medical infrared thermometer is intended for measuring
human body temperature by detecting forehead, it is for people of
all ages.

3.3 Principle
The infrared temperature sensor collects infrared energy emitted
by the skin of the forehead. After being focused by a lens, the
infrared energy is converted into a temperature reading by the
thermopiles and measurement circuits.

4.Warnings and precautions
1)Keep out of reach of children under 12 years of age.
2)Never immerse the thermometer in water or other liquid (it is not
waterproof). For cleaning and disinfection, please follow the
instructions in the ‘Cleaning and disinfection’ section.
3)Never use the thermometer for purposes other than its intended
use. Please follow the general safety precautions when using it on
children.
4)Keep the thermometer out of direct sunlight in a dry, dust-free,
well-ventilated area at a temperature between 10.0‒40.0℃
(50.0‒104.0℉). Do not use the thermometer in a high humidity
environment (>85% RH).
5)Do not use the thermometer if there are signs of damage on the
optical filter or elsewhere on the instrument. If damaged, never
attempt to repair the instrument! Please contact the dealer or
manufacturer.
6)This thermometer consists of high precision parts. Do not drop or
twist the instrument. Protect it from severe impact and shock.
7)Please consult your doctor if you see such symptoms as
unexplained irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, changes in
appetite or activity, seizure, muscle pain, shivering, stiff neck, pain
when urinating, etc., even in the absence of fever.
8)Those who exhibit a normal temperature may still need to receive
medical attention. When determining the severity of illness of
people on antibiotics, analgesics or antipyretics, temperature
readings should not be solely relied upon.
9)Temperature elevation may signal a serious illness, especially in
adults who are elderly, frail or have a weakened immune system, or
neonates and infants. Please seek professional advice immediately
when there is a temperature elevation in a person who meets any
of the following criteria:
- 6 -

Over 60 years of age (fever may be dulled or even absent in
elderly patients)
Diagnosed with diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system
(e.g. HIV positive, cancer, chemotherapy, chronic steroid treatment,
splenectomy)
Bedridden (e.g. nursing home patient, stroke, chronic illness)
A transplant patient (e.g. liver, heart, lung, kidney)
10)This thermometer is not intended for premature babies or small
for gestational age babies. It is not intended to measure hypother-
mic temperatures. Do not allow children to take their temperatures
unattended.
11)Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for
consultation with your physician or pediatrician. It is for household
use only.
12) Do not use the thermometer for continuous temperature
monitoring purposes.
13) Do not take a measurement while or immediately after nursing
a baby.
14) Patients should not drink, eat, bathe or engage in physical
activity for 30 minutes before using the thermometer. After eating,
some organs have to work, such as the stomach, intestinal tract,
etc., generating extra heat which affects temperature accuracy.
