Can I use it to check body temperature?

No. The maker states it is only for industrial surface measurement and not suitable for body measurement.

What range does it measure?

-50 to 400 °C, which is -58 to 752 °F. It covers pipes, motors, cooking surfaces and similar surfaces.

The stated accuracy is ±5 °C, or 1 to 2 °C in some conditions, with 0.1 °C resolution. That is fine for spotting hot or cold spots, not for lab-grade readings.

What does 12:1 distance-to-spot mean?

At 12 units away the measured spot is about 1 unit wide. Standing 1 m back, it averages a circle roughly 8 cm across.

Does it come with batteries?

No. It runs on two AAA batteries, which are not included.

Can I switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit?

Yes. The display toggles between °C and °F, and it holds the last reading on screen.

Our take on the Digital Infrared Thermometer Non-Contact Pyrometer

A handheld non-contact infrared pyrometer for industrial and household surface temperature checks. It reads from -50 to 400 °C (-58 to 752 °F) with a 12:1 distance-to-spot ratio, a laser sight for aiming, a data-hold function and a switchable °C/°F LCD. It suits DIYers, cooks and technicians checking pipes, motors, bearings, electrical panels, asphalt, pools and food surfaces. Compared with basic IR guns it adds a tighter 12:1 optic and data hold, but its ±5 °C accuracy claim and slow 500 ms response put it below pricier name-brand units. It is not a body thermometer.
