Important safeguards The Braun ThermoScan Instant Thermometer is a sophisticated electronic instrument that has been carefully engineered for both accuracy and safety. The shape of the thermometer prevents it from being inserted far enough into the ear canal to damage the eardrum. However, basic safety precautions should always be observed, especially when using the thermometer on or near children.
Thank you for purchasing the Braun ThermoScan Instant Thermometer Unlike other thermometers that must be held in place for several minutes, the Braun ThermoScan Instant Thermometer takes a temperature in just one second. It takes a “picture“ of the infrared heat given off by the ear drum and surrounding tissue, calculates, and displays an ear temperature on the digital readout.
Components and features Product includes the following components: • Braun ThermoScan Instant Thermometer • Lens Filters (20, plus one on thermometer) • Storage Cover (See Figure 5) • Use Instructions • Labels Not included, but required: • One 9 volt alkaline battery (6 LR 61, MN 1604 9V, alkaline). To remove the thermometer from the storage cover, slide it forward in the cover (Figure 2a, arrow 1), then lift up (Figure 2a, arrow 2).

Body temperature measurement Normal body temperature is a “range“, not a single point, as temperature varies from person to person. A person’s temperature can rise with excessive clothing, hot weather or accelerated activity (such as crying or exercise).
Ear tug and positioning technique Children unter 1 year • Ear Tug Gently but firmly pull ear straight back (Figure 8a). • Positioning Approach the ear from behind the child. Place the lens at the opening of the ear canal. Using a slight back and forth rocking motion, gently insert the thermometer, pointing the lens toward the opposite eye. Gently insert the lens as far as possible until the ear canal is fully sealed off (Figure 8c).
Temperature taking hints • It is important to use an ear tug, point the thermometer lens toward the eardrum and gently insert far enough into the ear canal to obtain an accurate reading. • When taking a temperature on another person, it may be more difficult to consistently position the thermometer in their ear. If the person whose temperature is to be taken is old enough, ask for assistance in the positioning process.
