Body Infrared Thermometer
User’s Manual
Please read this manual before use!
Thank you for choosing our Infrared Thermometer. The PC868 Infrared Thermometer is used to measure the temperature of an object based on the relationship between temperature and measurable infrared radiation. Simply aim the unit’s probe toward the surface to be measured to obtain a quick and accurate temperature. To ensure proper use, please be sure to read this user manual carefully, paying close attention to the safety precautions.
All objects above absolute zero temperature emit a certain percentage of infrared radiation energy based on their temperature. The amount of the radiation energy and the distribution of the wavelength have very closely related. When the human forehead’s temperature is 36-37℃, it emits wavelength 9-13um of infrared radiation. Based on this principle, according to the relationship between surface forehead temperature and human forehead temperature, we are able to measure the human forehead’s actual temperature by measuring surface forehead temperature.
Warning
Notice

PRECAUTION
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Warning:
Discard old battery carefully, out of reach of young children. Swallowing the battery may be fatal. If the battery is swallowed, contact hospital immediately to have it removed. Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. It may explode.
HOW TO USE
1.Depress the ON/OFF button. The display will read
2. Release the ON/OFF button and the display will show L°F(L°C) with °F(°C) flashing.
3. Disinfect the probe with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. Place the probe in an appropriate position (oral, axillary, rectal).
4. Once the degree sign (°F or °C ) on the display has stopped flashing (usually within 15-30 seconds ) , the correct temperature is indicated. The temperature reading will not change after the °F(°C) stops flashing. For beeper models only, an alarm signal will sound for approximately 8 seconds when °F(°C) stop flashing.
5. The unit will automatically turn off in 3 minutes ( approx. ). However, to prolong battery life, it is best to turn the thermometer off by pressing the ON/OFF button once the temperature has been noted.
Special Features:
Normal Temperature Alarm: An alarm will sound when the peak temperature has registered and is ready-to-read. The “Normal Temperature” alarm (four quick beeps followed by a pause) will sound repeatedly for approximately 8 seconds.
Last-Temperature Memory Recall: When the ON/OFF button is depressed to activate the thermometer, hold down for approximately 5 seconds. The display of 188.8 will change to show the last measured temperature. This reading is displayed as long as the button is held down. When the button is released, the thermometer will be in “ready-to-measure” mode and the recalled temperature will be erased.
To change the scale from Fahrenheit (°F) to Centigrade (°C): After turning the thermometer on, immediately press the ON/OFF button again and release. The °F changes to a °C. Once the display shows an L with a flashing °F or °C, the device is ready to record and display a temperature. Follow the same directions to switch back from Centigrade to Fahrenheit.
NOTE : Always disinfect the thermometer before you use it.
NOTE : In Step 2, if the room temperature is greater than 90.0°F (32.0°C), it will be displayed rather than L°F(L°C).
NOTE : In Step 3, you may put a sanitary plastic probe shield on the sensor tip to help prevent cross-infection and contamination. Use of the probe cover may result in a 0.2°F(0.1 °C) difference from actual temperature. Dispose of any used probe shield and store the unit in a safe place.
RELIABLE METHODS TO MEASURE TEMPERATURE
THE TAKING OF BODY TEMPERATURES: Change in body temperature is one of the most important indicators of illness. It is important that accurate temperatures be taken. Even though the digital thermometer is used in similar manner to the glass thermometer, it is important that the simple instructions for use of this thermometer be followed closely and that the person taking the temperature understands body temperature.
BODY TEMPERATURE: A person’s body temperature will usually be several tenths to one full degree lower in the morning than it is in the late afternoon. Therefore, if your temperature is 97.9°F(36.6°C) in the morning, it could be 98.4°F(36.9°C) or more in the late afternoon and still be normal. To determine what your normal body temperature is you should take your temperature both in the early morning and in the late afternoon over several days. Children have the same normal temperature range as do adults. Afever for both children and adults is typically defined as a temperature over 99.5°F(37.5°C) (oral reading). Exercise, excessive clothing, hot bath, hot weather, warm food and drink can cause mild elevations of up to 100.4°F (38°C) to 101.2°F(38.4°C) in oral temperature. If you suspect one of these to be the cause of an elevated reading, eliminate the possible cause and retake the temperature in a half hour.
ORAL USE
Place the probe well under the patient’s tongue. Instruct the patient to keep their mouth closed while the thermometer is reading. A normal temperature by this method is usually considered between 96.8°F to 98.6°F(36.0°C to 37.5°C).
RECTAL USE
If rectal temperature is recommended by your doctor, you may use a probe cover. Insert thermometer into the probe cover. Lubricate the probe cover with a water soluble jelly for easier insertion . Do not use petroleum jelly . Insert tip of probe no more than 1/2 inch into rectum . STOP if you meet any resistance . The sensing device is on the very tip of the probe and there is no need to insertthe probe deep into the rectum . In general, the rectal temperature is around 1.0 to 2.0°F(0.5°C to 1.0°C) higher than oral temperature.
AXILLARY USE
Wipe armpit with a dry towel . Place probe in the patient’s armpit and keep the patient’s arm pressed firmly against their side. In general, the axillary temperature is around 1.0 to 2.0°F (0.5 to 1.0°C) lower than oral temperature. Note that in order to achieve better axillary temperature measurement result a minimum measuring time of 2-3minutes is recommended regardless of the beep sound.
