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.
| Measurement methods | Normal body temperature |
| Anal temperature | 36.6℃ 38~ ℃ |
| Oral temperature | 35.5℃ ~ 37.5 ℃ |
| Axillary temperature | 34.7 ℃~ 37.3℃ |
| Cochlear temperature | 35.8℃ ~ 38 ℃ |
| Oral temperature | 35.5 ℃~37.5℃ (PG-IRT1603 measured value) |
The changes in human body temperatureHuman 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 nightLowest Body temperature is lowest because of sleep and decreasing activity.(below 37℃ )In the morningHigher From warm bed to the lower temperature room in the morning, the whole body’s muscles get contractions and produce heat.
At noonHighest After lunch, human body reaches the highest temperature and the body will adjust naturally.
Three or four o’clock in the afternoonLower Due to physical exertion, blood sugar decreased.
In the eveningLowest Due to the sun down, room temperature goes down.

- 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.)
- 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.

Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of the Model PG-IRT1603 Infrared Thermometer, including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter.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. | |||
