Temperature taking hints
• The right ear reading may differ from the reading taken
at the left ear. Therefore, always take the temperature
in the same ear.
• The ear must be free from obstructions or excess
earwax build-up to take an accurate reading.
• External factors may influence ear temperatures,
including when an individual has:
– been lying on one ear or the other
– had their ears covered
– been exposed to very hot or very cold temper-
atures, or
– been recently swimming or bathing.
In these cases, remove the individual from the
situation and wait 20 minutes prior to taking a
temperature.
• For persons wearing hearing aids or ear plugs, remove
the device and wait 20 minutes prior to taking a
temperature.
• Use the untreated ear if prescription ear drops or other
ear medications have been placed in the ear canal.
Memory mode
The last temperature taken before the Braun ThermoScan
is turned off is stored in its memory and will be
automatically displayed for one second when it is turned
on again. For display of the stored measurement for up to
60 seconds, the « » button must be pressed again. The
memory mode is left automatically after pressing the « »
button again. A reading from memory is indicated on the
LCD by «MEM».
