Common sense about body temperature

The comparison of different measurement methods. The measured values are different if we use different measurement methods. The WHO provides normal human body temperature reference values, please see below table about the specific temperature difference.

The changes in human body temperature
Human belongs to constant temperature animals , the body temperature is basically constant, but it is not totally changeless, the human body temperature is  onstantly changing in a day, the details as follows:

At night
Lowest Body temperature is lowest because of sleep and decreasing activity.(below 37℃ )
In the morning
Higher From warm bed to the lower temperature room in the morning, the whole body’s muscles get contractions and produce heat.

At noon
Highest After lunch, human body reaches the highest temperature and the body will adjust naturally.

Three or four o’clock in the afternoon
Lower Due to physical exertion, blood sugar decreased.

In the evening
Lowest Due to the sun down, room temperature goes down.

1. Ear temperature measurement
   Warm prompts: Remove the head cover of forehead thermometer which can measure ear temperature.
   1.1 After removing head cover, please press” “button to turn on this product to enter the ear temperature measurement mode, LCD will display measurement value last time. Then put the thermometer in your ear, the ear temperature can be measured directly by pressing” “button.
   1.2 After 1 second, you can see the measurement result.
   When LCD is flashing, we are waiting for starting measurement. Measurement result
   Note: If you did not hear the beep sound, which represents the temperature measurement has not yet been completed. Please do not remove the thermometer probe from ear canal at this time. (If you have closed the sound indication, it will have no sound indication.)

2. Forehead temperature measurement
   Warm prompts: Install head cover of forehead thermometer which can measure forehead temperature.
   2.1 After installing head cover of forehead thermometer, press” “button to turn on this product to enter the forehead temperature measurement mode, LCD will display measurement value last time. Then the forehead thermometer is aimed at the center of the forehead and measurement distance should be 0~5mm, the forehead temperature can be measured directly by pressing “ ” button.
   2.2 After 1 second, you can see the measurement result.
   When LCD is flashing, we are waiting for starting measurement. Measurement result
   Note: If you did not hear the beep sound, which represents the temperature measurement has not yet been completed. Please do not remove the thermometer probe from forehead at this time. (If you have closed the sound indication, it will have no sound indication.)

3. Object pattern measurement
   Warm prompt: The installation of the head cover of forehead temperature has no influence to object pattern measurement.
   3.1 Long press” “button to enter the object measurement mode for 6 seconds, and then aim the thermometer at the object, the temperature of the target object can be measured directly by pressing” “button.
   3.2 After 1 second, you can see the result of the measurement.
   When LCD is flashing, we are waiting for starting measurement. Measurement result
   Note: If you did not hear the beep sound, which represents the temperature measurement has not yet been completed. Please do not remove thermometer probe from target object at this time. (If you have closed the sound indication, it will not have sound indication.)

Product cleaning methods instructions

1. About thermometer probe: please use cotton swab to dip alcohol without water to clean thermometer probe to avoid cross infection after we finish temperature measurement every time. (Note: please don’t wash the product directly under the faucet.)
2. This product itself: please wipe the product with a soft and dry cloth to avoid scratching of the product; please do not clean the product directly with water.
   Warm prompt: Why do you need to do a cleaning job after each measurement? Because infrared temperature adopts highly sensitive technique to detect the temperature of the target object, not only will any earwax and dust paste affect the measurement accuracy, more likely to cause bacteria infection. So we suggest that you should do cleaning job well as the picture shows after you use every time.

Recommended separation distance

where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended  separation distance in metres(m). Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site a survey, should be less than the compliance level in each b frequency range Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol:

NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies. NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

a The ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) bands 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. The amateur radio bands 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 50,0 MHz to 54,0 MHz.
b The compliance levels in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the frequency range 80 MHz to 2,7 GHz are intended to decrease the likelihood that mobile/portable communications equipment could cause interference if it is inadvertently brought into patient areas. For this reason, an additional factor of 10/3 has been incorporated into the formulae used in calculating the recommended separation distance for transmitters in these frequency ranges.
c Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Model PG-IRT1603 Infrared Thermometer is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Model PG-IRT1603 Infrared Thermometer should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the Model PG-IRT1603 Infrared Thermometer.
d Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the Model PG-IRT1603 Infrared Thermometer

The is intended for use in an Model PG-IRT1603 Infrared Thermometer electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the Model PG-IRT1603 Infrared Thermometer can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the Model PG-IRT1603  Infrared Thermometer as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
