How to use your Braun ThermoScan
1.
To achieve accurate
measurements, make sure a
new, clean lens filter (2)
is in place before
each measurement.
2.
Gently squeeze the opposite
ends of the thermometer
to pull off the probe cap (1).
Do not use force in removing
the cap.
3.
To turn the thermometer on,
push the «start» button (4).
During an internal self-
check, the display shows
all segments.
The thermometer is ready
to use after two beeps are
sounded and this display appears.
4. 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 aged 1 year to adult:
Pull the ear up and back.
5.
While tugging the ear,
fit the probe (3) snugly
into the ear canal, then
push the «start» button
(4).
After one second a beep will signal the end
of the measuring process. One beep signals
normal temperature. Fever alarm will
trigger 10 consecutive beeps when the
reading is equal or higher to 37.5 °C. The
result is shown on the display (6).
After 2 short beeps, the ear symbol will stop
flashing.
6.
For the next measurement,
remove the used lens filter
and put on a new, clean lens filter by
snapping into position.
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.
