•If temperatures appear to be reading low, ensure proper technique is being used (see page 11 to 12). Make sure the lens is clean and a new lens filter is attached.

•If temperatures appear to be reading high, be sure a new lens filter is attached. Inspect the lens; if it is damaged, the thermometer must be serviced.

•To assure accuracy and sanitary practice, Braun recommends replacing the lens filter after each use. Should you run out of lens filters and need to take a temperature, you may use the following lens filter cleaning procedure: Clean the lens filter without removing it from the thermometer with a soft cloth or cotton swab moistened with alcohol or mild soap and water. Do not use hot or boiling water. Dry completely with a soft cloth before reusing. Replace lens filter as soon as possible with a new one (LF 40).

Lens Tip

•The lens tip is the most delicate part of the thermometer. It is covered with a soft, thin membrane which forms a surface that is transparent to heat waves. To ensure accuracy, it is very important to keep the lens clean and intact, and to always keep a clean, new lens filter attached. Fingerprints, ear wax, dust and other soiling compounds reduce ransparency of the lens, resulting in lower temperature readings. Remember: always store the thermometer in its cover when not in use.

•Inspect the lens whenever you replace a lens filter. To clean the lens, very gently wipe the surface with a cotton swab or soft cloth moistened with alcohol or mild soap and warm water (Figure 11). After cleaning, allow at least 45 minutes drying time before reattaching a lens filter and taking tem- peratures. If the lens is damaged, contact Braun.

Lens Filters

•Replace lens filter after each use. Make sure that the new lens filter is not damaged.

•Keep lens filters out of direct sunlight and ultraviolet light for extended periods of time. Store lens filters away from dust and contamination.

Thermometer

•Use a soft, dry, clean cloth to clean the instrument display and exterior. Do not use abrasive cleaners of submerge in water or other liquids.

•This instrument contains precision components and should not be subjected to extremes in temperature, humidity, direct sunlight, shock or dust.

•Store unit in a location where the temperature remains fairly constant and within the range of 16°C to 40°C (61°F to 104°F). To ensure that the Braun ThermoScan Thermometer is always ready to take a temperature (and avoid Err 4), store it in the room where it is most frequently used.
