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
•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.
