Changing the temperature scale

IRT 3020

IRT 3520

This thermometer is shipped with the Fahrenheit temperature scale activated. If you wish to switch to Celsius (°C), proceed as follows:

•Turn on the thermometer.

(If it is already turned 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 Celsius scale is activated, «°C» 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.

Changing the lens filter

The thermometer is supplied with a lens filter in place. To assure accuracy and sanitary practice, Braun recommends replacing the lens filter after each use. To install a new lens filter, first remove the one in place by pressing the lens filter ejector. Check the lens for any damage. Then take a new lens filter from the box, and hold- ing it by its edges, slide it onto the probe until it snaps in place.

Caution: Do not touch the tip of the probe or lens filters when installing. Fingerprints, ear wax, dust and other soiling compounds reduce the transparency, resulting in lower tem- perature readings (see also Care and cleaning).

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.

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 ).

•Additional lens filters (LF 40 ) are available at most stores

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.
