Thank you for purchasing this Braun
Digital Thermometer. This premium,

developed to measure the human body
temperature under the tongue, under
the armpit or inside the rectum.

As with any other thermo­meter, proper handling and
storage is necessary in
order to obtain accurate

properly, this thermometer will give
you years of accurate temperature
readings that you can depend on.

Hints when measuring at
different sites

Oral use

Do not drink hot or cold fluids, exercise,
smoke or perform other activities that
will raise or lower temperature readings
when compared to your normal body
temperature. We recommend using the
thermometer orally only with children
four years and older. The mouth should
remain closed up to 5 minutes before
taking a reading. Place the probe well
under the tongue. Instruct children not
to bite down on the probe. Opening
the mouth or improper placement of
the probe tip could result in a longer
measurement time. The peak tempe­rature should be reached in approxi­mately 20 seconds.

Underarm/axillary use

The armpit is not an ideal site to
measure body temperature, because
temperature is measured on the surface
of the skin and not in a closed body
cavity (such as mouth and rectum). The
time required for an accurate underarm
temperature may therefore take 90
seconds or longer. For an accurate
temperature measurement you should:
Wipe the underarm with a dry towel.
Keep the armpit closed for several
minutes before placing the thermo­meter. Do not open the armpit too long
before placing the thermometer. Place
the thermometer under the armpit and
press the arm tightly against the body.
Make sure the measuring sensor is
completely covered under the armpit
and do not open it during the measure­ment process. To ensure an accurate
underarm (axillar) measurement we
recommend waiting 90 seconds before
reading the temperature displayed.
Please note that the reading obtained
immediately after the beep might be
compromised by the above mentioned
shortcomings related to the axillar
measurement site.

Rectal use

Gently insert the tip of the thermometer
into the rectum. Do not force the tip
into the rectum (if resistance is encoun­tered). The rectum is a closed body
cavity and allows a faster reading.

How to use the Braun Digital
Thermometer

To turn on the thermometer, push the
light green on/off button; a short
signaling tone [beep] signals «Thermo­meter on». A display test is performed
lighting up all symbols on the display.
In an ambient temperature below 32 °C
«---» and a «°C» appear and the
thermometer is now ready for use on
different body sites. (In an ambient
temperature higher than 32 °C, the
temperature and a flashing «°C» are
displayed).

• During measurement, the current
temperature is displayed continu­ously. The «°C» symbol flashes
during this period of time. The
measuring process is finished
when the signaling tone sounds
[beep...beep...beep 10 times] and
the «°C» is no longer flashing.

• To prolong the life of the battery,
turn the thermometer off by pres­sing the on/off button briefly.
Otherwise the thermometer will
automatically turn off after about
10 minutes.

Memor

y Mode

• If you press the on/off button for
more than 3 seconds when turning
the thermometer on, the last
measured temperature, which was
stored automatically, will be dis­played. At the same time, a small
«M» for memory will appear at the
right of the display. After 3 more
seconds, this value will disappear
and the thermometer will switch off.
The stored value will be replaced by
the new value, which is also stored
automatically.

Cleaning & disinfecting

In order to avoid cross-contamination
clean the Braun Digital Thermometer
thoroughly after usage. We recommend
using commercial disinfectants. Do
not immerse the thermometer in this
dilution for more than 24 hours.

Body temperature

Normal body temperature is a range.
The following table shows that this
normal range also varies by site.
Therefore, readings from different sites
should not be directly compared.

Normal ranges by site:

Axillary: 34.7–37.3 °C 94.5– 99.1 °F
Oral: 35.5–37.5 °C 95.9– 99.5 °F
Rectal: 36.6–38.0 °C 97.9–100.4 °F

However, the range of normal also
varies from person to person and
fluctuates throughout the day. It is
therefore important to determine your
normal temperature range. Practice
taking temperatures on yourself and
healthy family members to determine
their normal temperature ranges.

Trouble shooting

on a test is performed automatically to

working order. If the message «ERR»

ThermoScan Ear Thermometer

For newborns and children in parti­cular, we also recommend the Braun
ThermoScan ear thermometer for
a notably quick, gentle and accurate
temperature measurement. The ear
is an excellent site to measure body
temperature, because the eardrum
shares blood supply with the tempe­rature control center in the brain. The
Braun ThermoScan ear thermometer
measures the infrared heat generated
by the eardrum and the surrounding
tissues within seconds. The Braun
ThermoScan ear thermometer is used
by more Doctors offices and mothers
than any other Infrared Thermometer
brand worldwide.

Conseils d’utilisation pour des
mesures à différents endroits
du corps

Utilisation dans la bouche

Ne buvez pas de boissons chaudes
ou froides, ne faites pas de sport, ne
fumez pas, et ne faites rien qui pourrait
augmenter ou diminuer la température
à l’intérieur de votre bouche, comparée

à la température normale de votre corps

Nous vous conseillons d’utiliser le
thermomètre dans la bouche unique­ment pour les enfants de 4 ans et plus.
La bouche doit rester fermée pendant
5 minutes environ avant de prendre la
température pour éviter toute
interaction qui pourrait fausser la prise
de mesure. Placez la sonde sous la
langue. Vérifiez bien que votre enfant
ne morde pas la sonde. Si votre enfant
ouvre la bouche ou que la sonde n’est
pas correctement placée sous la
langue, la mesure sera plus longue. La
température maximale est atteinte en
20 secondes environ.

Utilisation sous les aisselles

L’aisselle n’est pas l’endroit ideal pour
mesurer la température corporelle, car
la température est mesurée à la surface
du corps et non à l’intérieur du corps
(comme la bouche ou le rectum).
C’est pourquoi le temps requis pour
prendre une température précise sous
le bras est de 90 secondes ou plus.
Pour une mesure précise de la
température, vous devez:
Essuyer l’aisselle avec une serviette
sèche. Garder le bras baissé pendant
quelques minutes avant le placement
du thermomètre. Ne pas lever trop
longtemps le bras en plaçant le
thermomètre. Placer le thermomètre
sous l’aisselle et appuyer le bras
fermement contre le corps. Assurez
vous que le capteur est complètement
recouvert par l’aisselle et ne levez pas
le bras pendant la mesure.
