Care and cleaning

•Switch on the thermometer.

(If it is already switched on, make sure it is not in memory mode.)

•Press the « / mem» button and keep it pressed. Then press and release the activation button to switch over to the «change temperature scale» mode.

•By pressing the activation button again, the Fahrenheit scale is activated, «°F» is displayed on the LCD. Each further pressing of the activation button toggles the scale between «°C» and «°F».

•Release the « / mem» button to return to the

ready symbol .

All temperatures stored in memory will automatically be converted to the selected scale when displayed on the LCD.

The probe tip is the most delicate part of the thermo- meter.

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:

•Hold the appliance with the probe tip facing down to prevent liquid from entering the probe tip area. Very gently wipe the surface with a cotton swab or soft cloth moistened with alcohol.

•After cleaning, allow at least 45 minutes drying time before reattaching a new, clean lens filter and taking a temperature.

If the probe tip is damaged, contact Braun.

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. The ambient temperature at the storage location should remain fairly constant and within the range of 10 to 40 °C or 50 to 104 °F.

Additional lens filters (LF 40) are available at most stores carrying Braun ThermoScan or at Braun Service Centers.

IRT 3520, IRT 3020 specifications

The Braun IRT 3020 and IRT 3520 are two advanced ear thermometers designed for accurate and convenient temperature measurement. These devices are particularly useful for families, allowing quick and reliable assessments of body temperature, which is essential for monitoring health, especially in young children.

Both models utilize infrared technology to provide precise readings in seconds. This non-invasive method measures the heat emitted from the eardrum, delivering results that are often more accurate than traditional oral or rectal methods. The IRT 3020 features a simple one-button operation that makes it user-friendly, while the IRT 3520 offers an intuitive interface with a larger display, making it even easier for users to read results quickly.

A standout feature of the IRT 3520 is its innovative pre-warmed tip, which ensures that the temperature reading is not influenced by external factors, such as the temperature of the ear canal. This helps to enhance the accuracy of readings, particularly in fluctuating ambient conditions. Both models come with a patented ExacTemp technology that provides feedback to ensure correct positioning during measurement, decreasing the chances of user error.

Portability is another key characteristic of these thermometers. Their compact design makes them easy to store and perfect for on-the-go families. They are also equipped with a memory function that allows users to store the last readings, providing a useful reference for monitoring temperature changes over time.

Hygiene is crucial when it comes to thermometers, and both Braun models cater to this concern; they come with disposable lens filters to prevent cross-contamination and promote health safety. Additionally, both devices are made from high-quality, durable materials, ensuring that they withstand regular use.

Another advantage of the Braun IRT 3020 and IRT 3520 is the inclusion of color-coded fever indicator features. This allows parents to quickly assess the severity of fever at a glance, aiding in decision-making regarding medical intervention.

In summary, the Braun IRT 3020 and IRT 3520 are excellent choices for anyone seeking reliable, fast, and hygienic temperature measurement solutions. Their combination of cutting-edge technology, user-friendly features, and portability make them standout products in the realm of medical thermometry.
