How to fix PACOM PC809 that failed to power on?

  Jerry ChavezAug 5, 2025
  If your PACOM Thermometer fails to power on, there are a few potential causes. First, the battery level might be too low, in which case you should replace the batteries. Second, the polarities of the batteries might be reversed; ensure that the batteries are inserted correctly. If neither of these resolves the issue, the thermometer may be damaged, and you should contact the dealer or manufacturer.

  Jessica PhillipsAug 12, 2025
  If your PACOM Thermometer displays a reading that is too high, consider these possibilities: you may have just come from a hot environment, or you are exposed to hot air. In such cases, stay in a room between 10.0°40.0 ° (50.0°104.0°) for at least 30 minutes before taking a temperature measurement. Also, a low battery can cause this issue, so try replacing the batteries.

Why PACOM PC809 Thermometer reading is too low?
- P
  Peter RomeroAug 17, 2025
  If your PACOM Thermometer shows a reading that is too low, it could be due to several reasons. The infrared sensor lens of the probe might be dirty; clean it with cotton swabs dipped in anhydrous ethanol. Alternatively, the distance between the probe and the target might be too great; ensure the probe touches your forehead or is placed in your ear canal. Finally, if you have just come from a cold environment, stay in a room between 10.0°40.0 ° (50.0°104.0°) for at least 30 minutes before taking a temperature measurement.

What to do if PACOM PC809 Thermometer shows 'Hi'?
- R
  Renee JordanAug 23, 2025
  If your PACOM Thermometer displays 'Hi', it indicates that the human body temperature is over 42.9°/109.2°. First, ensure the probe is clean. If the environmental temperature is out of range, both the patient and thermometer should stay in a room between 10.0°40.0° (50.0°104.0°) for at least 30 minutes before taking a temperature measurement. If the problem persists, contact the dealer or manufacturer.

What does 'Lo' mean on PACOM PC809 Thermometer?
- A
  Amber NguyenAug 30, 2025
  If the PACOM Thermometer displays 'Lo', it means the human body temperature is below 32.0°/89.6°. First, make sure that the probe is clean and free from dirt. Second, if the environmental temperature is out of range, then both patient and thermometer should stay in a room between 10.0°40.0° (50.0°104.0°) for at least 30 minutes before taking a temperature measurement. If the problem continues after these steps, contact the dealer or manufacturer.
