ThermoScan

ststartart

The Braun ThermoScan thermometer has been

carefully developed for accurate, safe and fast

temperature measurements in the ear. The shape

of the thermometer probe prevents it from being

inserted too far into the ear canal and hurting the

eardrum.

However, as with any thermometer,

proper technique is very important

to obtaining accurate temperatures.

Therefore, read the use instructions

carefully and thoroughly.

Important

• The operating ambient temperature range for

this thermometer is 50 – 104 °F (10 – 40 °C).

• Do not expose the thermometer to temperature

extremes (below –4 °F / –20 °C or over 122 °F /

50 °C) nor excessive humidity (> 95 % RH).

• This thermometer must only be used with

genuine Braun ThermoScan Lens Filters. Other

lens filters can lead to inaccuracy.

• To avoid inaccurate measurements always use

this thermometer with a new, clean lens filter

attached.

• If the thermometer is accidentally used without

a lens filter attached, clean the lens (see «Care

and cleaning»).

• Keep lens filters out of reach of children.

• This thermometer is intended for household

use only.

• Use of this thermometer is not intended as a

substitute for consultation with your physician.

Body temperature

Normal body temperature is a range. The following

table shows that this normal range also varies by

site. Therefore, measurements from different sites

should not be directly compared.

• A person’s normal temperature range tends to

decrease with age. The following table shows

normal ThermoScan ranges by age.

The range of normal also varies from person to

person and fluctuates throughout the day.

It is therefore important to determine normal

temperature ranges. This is easily done using

Braun ThermoScan. Practice taking temperatures

on yourself and healthy family members to

determine each person’s normal temperature

range.

Note: When consulting your physician, com-

municate that the ThermoScan temperature is a

temperature measured in the ear and if possible,

note the individual’s normal ThermoScan

temperature range as additional reference.

How to use your Braun ThermoScan

1. To achieve accurate

measurements, make sure a

new, clean lens filter (2) is in

place before each measure-

ment.

2. To turn the thermometer on,

push the «start» button (4).

During an internal self-

check, the display (6) shows

all segments. Then the last

temperature taken will be

displayed together with

«MEM».

As soon as this ready

symbol appears, you can

start the measuring

process.

3. Perform an ear tug to straighten the ear canal.

This gives the thermometer a clear view of the

eardrum.

An ear tug is best performed by using your free

hand to grasp the outer edge of the top half of

the ear. To take your own temperature, wrap

your free hand around the back of your head

and tug your ear from behind.

Children under 1 year:

Pull the ear straight back.

Children aged 1 year to

adult:

Pull the ear up and back.

4. While tugging the ear, fit the

probe (3) snugly into the ear

canal, then push the «start»

button. A short beep will

signal the start of the

measuring process.

After one second a longer

beep will signal the end

of the measuring process.

The result is shown on the

display (6).

5. For the next measurement,

remove the used lens filter

and put on a new, clean lens

filter. Clear the display by

pushing the «start» button

once. Fit the probe snugly

into the ear canal, then push

the «start» button.

The Braun ThermoScan ear thermometer turns off

automatically after 60 seconds of inactivity.

Temperature taking hints

• The right ear measurement may differ from

the measurement taken in the left ear.

Therefore, always take the temperature in

the same ear.

• The ear must be free from obstructions or

excess earwax build-up to take an accurate

reading.

• External factors may influence ear tempera-

tures, including when an individual has:

– been lying on one ear or the other

– had their ears covered

– been exposed to very hot or very cold

temperatures, or

– been recently swimming or bathing.

In these cases, remove the individual from the

situation and wait 20 minutes prior to taking a

temperature.

• Use the untreated ear if ear drops or other ear

medications have been placed in the ear canal.

Care and cleaning

The probe tip is the most delicate part of the

thermometer. It has to be clean and intact to

ensure accurate readings.

If the thermometer is ever

accidentally used without a lens

filter, clean the probe tip as

follows:

Very gently wipe the surface

with a cotton swab or soft cloth

moistened with alcohol.

After the probe tip has completely dried, you can

put a new lens filter on and take a temperature

measurement. If the probe tip is damaged, contact

Kaz.

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 lens filters in a dry location

free from dust and contamination and away from

direct sunlight.

Additional lens filters (LF 40) are available at most

stores carrying Braun ThermoScan.

Trouble-shooting

Situation Solution

No lens filter

is attached. Attach new, clean lens

filter.

Ambient

temperature

is not within

the allowed

operating

range

(50 –104 °F

or 10 – 40

°C).

Allow the thermometer

to remain for 30 min-

utes in a room where

the temperature is be-

tween 50 and 104 °F

or 10 and 40 °C .

Changing the temperature scale

Your Braun ThermoScan is shipped with the

Fahrenheit (°F) temperature scale activated. If you

wish to switch to Celsius (°C), proceed as follows:

Make sure the thermometer is turned off.

Press and hold down the «start» button. After

about 8 seconds the display will show this

sequence: «°F» / «°C» /...

Release the «start» button when «°C» is shown.

There will be a short beep to confirm the new

setting, then the thermometer is turned off

automatically.

Replacing the battery

The thermometer is supplied

with one 1.5 V type AAA (LR3).

For best performance, we

recommend Duracell®alkaline

batteries. Insert new battery

when the battery symbol

appears on the display.

Open the battery compartment.

Remove the battery and replace

with new battery, making

sure the poles are in the right

direction. Slide battery door

back until it snaps in place.

HI = too high

LO = too low

Temperature taken is

not within typical

human temperature

range (93.2 –108 °F or

34 – 42.2 °C).

Make sure the probe tip

and lens are clean and a

new, clean lens filter is

attached. Make sure

the thermometer is

properly inserted into

the ear. Then, take a

new temperature

measurement.

System error

If error persists,

Wait 1 minute until the

thermometer turns off

automatically, then turn

on again.

... reset the thermo-

meter by removing the

battery and putting it

back in.

Battery is

low, but

thermometer

will still

operate

correctly.

Insert new battery.

Battery is too

low to take

correct tem-

perature

measurement.

Insert new battery.

To protect the environment, dispose of

empty batteries at appropriate collec-

tion sites according to national or local

regulations.

Calibration

The thermometer is initially calibrated at the

time of manufacture. If this thermometer is used

according to the use instructions, periodic re-

adjustment is not required.

Manufacturing date is given by the LOT number

located in the battery compartment. The first

number after LOT represents the last digit of the

year of manufacture.

The last two digits give the week of manufacture.

An example: LOT 503 – this product has been

manufactured in week 03 of the year 2005.
