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 a
ged 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).
