How to use:

1. Remove the thermometer from the protective case
2. Push the Power button. During an internal self-check, the display shows all segments. Then the last temperature taken will be displayed for 5 seconds.
3. The lens filter indicator will blink to signal one is needed. To achieve accurate measurements, make sure a new, clean lens filter is in place before each measurement. Attach a new lens filter by pushing the thermometer probe straight into the lens filter inside the box and then pulling out . Note: The Braun ThermoScan® will not work unless a lens filter  is attached.
4. Select an age with the Age Precision™ Technology button as shown. Press button to  toggle through each age group. NOTE: You must select an age in order to take a measurement. Age selection will default to last age setting if you do not change.
5. Fully insert the probe into the ear canal and point straight towards the opposite ear or temple. Once positioned correctly, press and release the start button.
6. ExacTemp® Stability Indicator light will pulse while temperature measurement is in progress. The light will remain solid for 3 seconds to indicate that a successful temperature reading has been achieved. NOTE: If the probe has been properly inserted into the ear canal during the measurement, a long beep will sound to signal the completed measurement.  If the probe has not been constantly placed in a stable position in the ear canal, a sequence of short beeps will sound, the ExacTemp® Stability Indicator light will go out and the display will show an error message (ERROR + position error animated icon = position error). See «Errors and troubleshooting» section for more information. 
7. The confirmation beep indicates that an accurate temperature measurement has been taken. The result is shown on the display.
8. For the next measurement, press eject button to remove, and  discard used lens filter, and put on a new, clean lens filter.

Please consult your physician if you see symptoms such as unexplained irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, changes in appetite or activity, seizure, muscle pain, shivering, stiff neck, pain when urinating, etc. in spite of any color of the background light or absence of fever.

Please consult your physician if the thermometer shows elevated temperature (yellow or red background lights).

The operating ambient temperature range for this thermometer is 50 -104 °F (10-40 °C).

Do not expose the thermometer to temperature extremes (below -13 °F / -25°C or over 131°F / 55°C) or excessive humidity (> 95% RH). 

This thermometer must only be used with genuine Braun ThermoScan lens filters (LF 40).

To avoid inaccurate measurements, always use this thermometer with a new, clean lens filter attached. If the thermometer is accidentally used without a lens filter attached, clean the lens (see «Care and cleaning» section).

This thermometer is intended for household use only. 

Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your physician. 

This thermometer is not intended for pre-term babies or small-for-gestational age newborn babies (birth to 4 weeks of age). Pre-term is defined as babies born before 37 weeks of gestation.  Small-for-gestational-
age is defined as a newborn baby, born at 37 weeks or later, with a weight below the 10th percentile for newborn babies of the same gestational age. 

Nursing mothers should not take a temperature measurement on themselves or have their temperature measured by another individual while or immediately after nursing a baby, as nursing can affect body temperature. 

This thermometer is not intended to interpret hypothermic temperatures. 

If the device displays a temperature of 97.5°F (36 .4°C) or less with an LED backlight color of green or white, and the individual is exhibiting atypical symptoms or behaviors, contact your doctor or health care professional. 

Do not allow children under 12 years to take their temperature unattended. Do not modify this equipment without authorization of the manufacturer. 

People who are on antibiotics, analgesics, or antipyretics should not be assessed solely on temperature readings to determine the severity of their illness. Temperature elevation may signal a serious illness, especially in neonates and infants, or in adults who are elderly, frail, or have a weakened immune system. 

Please seek professional advice immediately when there is a temperature elevation and if you are taking temperature on:

• Neonates and infants under 3 months (Consult your physician immediately if the temperature exceeds  99.4°F or 37.4°C)
• Individuals having diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system (e.g. HIV positive, cancer chemotherapy, chronic immunosuppressant treatment, splenectomy)
• Individuals who are bedridden (e.g . paraplegia, quadriplegia, stroke, chronic illness, surgical recovery, nursing home patient, stroke, chronic illness, recovering from surgery)
