Models covered for this manual and their differences are as follows: Model Difference At the end of temperature measurement, PC828 the buzzer gives a ‘beep’ cue. At the end of temperature measurement, PC828EV the speaker broadcasts the temperature in English.
3. Product description 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.
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.

5. Directions for use Please load the batteries before using the thermometer. Take the batteries out if you will not use the thermometer for a long time, such as over one month. Additionally, referring to Part 6 in Fig. 3, this thermometer has a one-button design, so when we describe the ‘Power’...
In order to improve accuracy, please make sure that your forehead is free from hair, sweat or dirt. Make sure the optical filter is clean before using the thermome- ter. Ensure that both the user and thermometer remain in the same room with a stable airflow and a room temperature between 10.0‒40.0℃...
5.3 Recall saved readings The thermometer can store 32 sets of forehead measurement data. When the data is full, the last reading will always replace the first. If you wish to review previous forehead measurement data, when the thermometer is shut down, press the Set button for about 3 seconds until you see the symbol flicker on the screen, then release the button.
5.5 Turn on or off the buzzer/speaker The PC828, PC828EV models are different in how they interact with users when measurement is complete: the PC828 uses a buzzer to ‘beep’ , the PC828EV communicates the temperature in English through a speaker. Please check the label on the left cover to determine which thermometer model you are using.
5.7 Set threshold for high fever This thermometer has 38.0℃/100.4℉ preset as an alarm tempera- ture for high fever. However, 38.0℃/100.4℉ is only a classic reference value. At this temperature, different people feel different, with some feeling bad and others not feeling too bad. If you do not agree with this high fever threshold, after consulting your doctor, you can manually change it to suit your own situation.
6. Temperature-taking tips 1)It is important to know the normal temperature of each individual when they are well. This is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever. Record readings twice a day, once in the early morning and once in the late afternoon. Take the average of these two tempera- tures to obtain the normal oral equivalent temperature.
7.Cleaning and disinfection 7.1 Cleaning Wipe the thermometer shell with a slightly damp soft cloth, and gently dry the body with a piece of tissue paper. Take care not to scratch the surface of the optical filter and digital display screen. Only use cotton swabs dipped in anhydrous ethanol to clean the optical filter.
