Warnings and Precautions
The operating ambient temperature range for this thermometer is 10 – 40 °C (50 – 104 °F). Do not expose the thermometer to temperature extremes (below -25 °C / -13 °F or over 55 °C / 131 °F) or excessive humidity (>95% RH). This thermometer must only be used with genuine Braun ThermoScan disposable Hygiene caps (LF 40). To avoid inaccurate measurements always use this thermometer with a new, clean Hygiene cap attached. If the thermometer is accidentally used without a Hygiene cap attached, clean the lens (see «Care and cleaning» section). Keep Hygiene caps out of reach of children. This thermometer is intended for household use only. This product is not intended to diagnose any disease, but is a useful screening tool for temperature. Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your doctor. Do not modify this equipment without authorization of the manufacturer. Parents/guardians should call the pediatrician upon noticing any unusual sign(s) or symptom(s). For example, a child who exhibits irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, seizure, changes in appetite or activity, even in the absence of fever, or who exhibits a low temperature, may still need to receive medical attention. Children who are on antibiotics, analgesics, or antipyretics should not be assessed solely on temperature readings to determine the severity of their illness. Temperature elevation as indicated by Age Precision may signal a serious illness, especially in adults who are old, frail, have a weakened immune system, or neonates and infants. Please seek professional advice immediately when there is a temperature elevation and if you are taking temperature on:
Fever may be blunted or even absent in elderly patients. This thermometer contains small parts that can be swallowed or produce a choking hazard to children. Always keep the thermometer out of children’s reach. Age Precision® color-coded display Clinical research shows the definition of fever changes as newborns grow into children and children grow into adults1. Braun’s Age Precision colour-coded display takes the guesswork out of interpreting temperature for the entire family. Simply use the Age Precision button to select the appropriate age setting, take a temperature and the colour-coded display will glow green, yellow or red to help you understand the temperature reading. 1 Herzog L, Phillips S. Addressing Concerns About Fever. Clinical Pediatrics. 2011; 50(#5): 383-390. How to use your Braun ThermoScan®
Temperature-taking hints Replace disposable Hygiene cap (single use device) with every use to maintain accuracy, hygiene and to prevent cross-contamination. Earwax and dirt on the tip of the Hygiene cap, even in a microscopic layer, can create an obstacle between the sensor and the infrared heat emitted by the ear and impact the accuracy of the measurement. External factors like poor probe replacement, used Hygiene cap or dirty Hygiene cap may influence ear temperature measurements. In clinical studies, precision and accuracy of ear thermometer measurement has been shown to be influenced by variability in user technique. Correct probe placement is essential for accurate measurements. Temperature in right and left ear differs, always compare measurements from the same ear. The natural physiological difference may reach 0.2 °C. In the absence of confounding factors, in high-risk population (like infants or immunodepressed people) use the highest of the two to interpret the patient’s condition. In the following cases, wait 20 minutes prior to taking a temperature: extreme changes in room temperature, hearing aid, lying on a pillow. Use the untreated ear if ear drops or other medications have been placed in the ear canal. Night mode How to illuminate the display Last reading recall

The default will be set on the device until the batteries are removed and then put back in. How to change the temperature between °C and °FYour Braun ThermoScan is shipped with the Celsius (°C) temperature scale activated. If you wish to switch to Fahrenheit (°F) and/or back from Fahrenheit to Celsius, proceed as follows:
Care and
cleaning The probe tip is the most delicate part of the thermometer. It must be clean and intact to ensure accurate readings. If the thermometer is ever accidentally used without a Hygiene cap, clean the probe tip as follows: Very gently wipe the surface with a cotton swab or soft cloth moistened with alcohol. After the alcohol has completely dried out, you can put a new Hygiene cap on and take a temperature measurement. If the probe tip is damaged, please contact Consumer Relations. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the thermometer display and exterior. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Never submerge this thermometer in water or any other liquid. Store thermometer and Hygiene caps in a dry location free from dust and contamination and away from direct sunlight. Additional Hygiene caps (LF 40) are available at most stores carrying Braun ThermoScan. Replacing the batteries
