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 or eardrum.
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:
Model
PC809
PC809EV
PC809V
Aside from the above differences, the expected use of the three
models is exactly the same.
Note: Ear temperature measurement can only be applied to
people over the age of 3 months.
At the end of temperature measurement, the
buzzer gives a ‘beep’ cue.
At the end of temperature measurement, the
speaker broadcasts the temperature in English.
At the end of temperature measurement, the
instrument emits vibration feedback.

3. Product description
3.1 Overview
The Medical Infrared Thermometer measures body temperature
based on detecting infrared energy emitted from the eardrum or
forehead. Users can quickly obtain measurement results after
properly positioning the temperature probe in the ear canal or 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.
Measuring siteNormal temperature range
Forehead36.1‒37.5℃ (97.0‒99.5℉)
Ear35.8‒38.0℃ (96.4‒100.4℉)
Mouth35.5‒37.5℃ (95.9‒99.5℉)
Anus36.6‒38.0℃ (97.9‒100.4℉)
Axilla34.7‒37.3℃ (94.5‒99.1℉)

3.2 Intended use
The multifunctional infrared thermometer is intended for
measuring human body temperature. It has two measurement
modes: the forehead mode for people of all ages and the ear mode
for people above the age of three months.
3.3 Principle
The infrared temperature sensor collects infrared energy emitted
by the eardrum in the ear canal or 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.

3.4 Features
Quick measurement in just 1 second
Accurate and reliable
One button design, making it easy to operate
Both forehead and ear measurement modes
32 memory slots, making it easy to save and recall temperatures
Switch between Celsius (℃) and Fahrenheit (℉)
Turn on/off the buzzer/speaker/vibration function
Orange LED indicates an intelligent low fever alarm
Red LED indicates an intelligent high fever alarm
Automatic shutdown for energy conservation
3.5 Components
The infrared thermometer consists of a shell, LED display screen,
button, buzzer/speaker/vibration motor, probe with infrared sensor
inside, microprocessor, circuit board and measuring software.

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
infrared sensor lens 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 or infrared sensor. 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.
