• The machine idle time of 30 seconds, turn off power automatically.

> Note
The measurement results of this device are not a substitute for a medical diagnosis by a professional doctor. If you have any questions about the results of your measurement, please contact your doctor and follow the instructions.
ABOUT BODY TEMPERATURE
Depending on the measurement method used, different values are obtained. Therefore, the WHO provides reference values for the ›normal‹ human body temperature.

The human body temperature
Human body temperature is basically constant, but it is not completely unchanging. It changes constantly in the course of a day, the details as follows.

• At night:
  Body temperature is at its lowest (below 37°C) due to sleep and decreasing activity.

• In the morning: Higher.
  From warm bed to cool room, muscles contract and produce heat.

• Midday: Highest.
  After lunch, the human body reaches its highest temperature and the body naturally adjusts.

• Three or four in the afternoon: Lower. Due to physical exertion, blood sugar drops.

• Evening: Lowest.
  Due to the sunset, the room temperature drops.

APPENDIX

Frequently asked questions

properly placed in the ear canal or  he measurement distance is too far during measurement,  he measurement result may be too low. If the sensor is contaminated, the reading may be too low; the sensor should be cleaned with an alcohol swab.
Lo| If the temperature of the target object is lower than the measuring range (lower than 34° for the ear), the display shows ›LO‹.|
Er.H| The operating temperature of this unit is limited upwards to 40°C. If the ambient temperature exceeds this point, the display shows an
error message ›Er.H‹.| or message When using this product, the ambient temperature should not be higher than 40° C.
Er.L| The operating temperature of this unit is limited to 10° C at the bottom. If the ambientemperature falls below this point, the display shows an error message ›Er.H‹.| When using this product, the ambient temperature should not be lower than 10° C.
Err| If the ambient temperature changes rapidly by 5 degreesan error message is displayed during measurement in the object temperature mode, then the unit switches off  automatically.| If ›Err‹ is displayed, place the unit in the room where measurement is to be taken for more than 30 minutes
before taking the next measurement.
| If mishandled, a beep will be heard when the sound setting is active. (a short tone will be heard)|

Troubleshooting

Cleaning and maintenance
This thermometer uses highly sensitive technology to determine the temperature of the target object.
Contamination (dust, dandruff, …) can affect the measurement accuracy and bacterial injections could occur.
We therefore recommend cleaning after each use.

Sensor
Use an alcohol swab (without water) to clean the sensor. This prevents the transfer of germs after the end of the temperature measurement (note: never wash the product directly under the water pipe).
Housing
Wipe the product with a soft and dry cloth so that it does not get scratchedDo not clean directly with water.

Field strengths from
fixed RF transmitters, determined from electromagnetic monitoring, should be less than the compliance levels in
each frequency range. Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol.
---|---|---|---

Note:

• For 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range may be used.
• These guidelines may not correspond to all situations.
• Electromagnetic transmission is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

1. The ISM (Industrial. Scientific and Medical) bandwidths between 0.15 MHz and 80 MHz are 6.765 MHz to 6.795 MHz; 13.553 MHz to 13.567 MHz; 26.957 MHz to 27.283 MHz; and 40.66 MHz to 40.70 MHz. Amateur wave bandwidths between 0.15 MHz and 80 MHz are 1.8 MHz to 2.0 MHz. 3.5 MHz to 4.0 MHz. 5.3 MHz to 5.4 MHz. 7 MHz to 7.3 MHz. 10.1 MHz to 10.15 MHz. 14 MHz to 14.2 MHz. 18.07 MHz to 18.17 MHz. 21.0 MHz to 21.4 MHz. 24.89 MHz to 24.99 MHz. 28.0 MHz to 29.7 MHz and  0.0 MHz to 54.0 MHz.
2. The compliance levels in the ISM frequency ranges between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the frequency range from 80 MHz to 2.7 GHz are intended to reduce the likelihood of a mobile/portable communication device causing interference if it is accidentally brought into patient areas. Therefore, an additional factor of 10⁄3 was incorporated into the formula used to calculate the recommended distance for transmitters in these frequency ranges.
3. Field strengths from stationary transmitters, such as base stations for mobile and cordless radiotelephones and land mobile radio systems, amateur radios, AM and FM radios and televisions, cannot theoretically be predicted with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to stationary RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength at the location where the Infrared Thermometer (EMP-THERMO-22) is used exceeds the RF compliance levels specified above, the Model EMP-THERMO-22 (PG-IRT1603) should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal operation is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as realignment or relocation of the model EMP-THERMO-22 (PG-IRT1603)
4. Over the frequency range of 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

> Recommended distances
This Infrared Thermometer (EMP-THERMO-22) is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment where RF interference is controlled. The customer or user can help avoid electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between the portable and mobile RF communication device (transmitter) and the Infrared Thermometer (EMP-THERMO-22) as recommended below, according to the maximum radiated energy of the communication device.

For transmitters rated at maximum radiant energy but not listed here, the recommended distance can be estimated by applying an equation according to the frequency of the transmitter, where P represents the maximum radiant energy of the transmitter in  atts (W), according to the transmitter manufacturer.
Note:

• For 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range may be used.
• These guidelines may not correspond to all situations.
• Electromagnetic transmission is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
