• If ear drops or other ear medications have been placed in
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 filter, 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
damange the tip.
Once the alcohol has dried completely, a new disposable lens
filter 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 filters in a dry
location free from dust and contamination and away from
direct sunlight.
Additional disposable lens filters (LF 40) are available at most
stores selling the Braun ThermoScan® 3 High Speed Compact
Ear Thermometer.
