the ear canal of one ear, take the temperature in the
untreated ear.
Care and cleaning
The probe tip (5) is the most delicate part of the thermometer.
It has to be clean and intact to ensure accurate readings.
If the thermometer is accidentally used without a disposable
lens lter, clean the probe tip as follows:
Very gently wipe the surface with a cotton
swab or soft cloth moistened with alcohol. Do
not use cleaners other than alcohol on the
probe tip. Use of other cleaners could damage
the tip.
Once the alcohol has dried completely, a new disposable lens
lter can be put on and a temperature measurement taken. If
the probe tip is damaged, please contact your authorized
local service center.
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the thermometer display and
product exterior. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Never
submerge this thermometer in water or any other liquid.
Store the thermometer and disposable lens lters in a dry
location free from dust and contamination and away from
direct sunlight.
Additional disposable lens lters (LF40LA) are available at
most stores selling Braun ThermoScan.
