Infrared Non-Contact Thermometer ASPT-01
Body temperature means the internal temperature of the human body. Normal temperature means the temperature of a healthy person with little change after multiple readings.
The temperature of a healthy person measured in the evening is normally 0.5ºC (0.9ºF) higher than when taken during the early morning; taking into account the environment, time and physical activities.
Refer to the chart below to find your average normal range.

Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of the 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 meters (m). Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey,a should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range.bInterference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol:
Infrared Non-Contact Thermometer ASPT-01 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 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 Infrared Thermometer is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the 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 Infrared Thermometer. b 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 Infrared Thermometer . The Infrared Thermometer is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the Infrared Thermometer can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the Infrared Thermometer as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
