How to use your Braun TempleSwipe™ Thermometer
First time use
Insert 2 AAA batteries (see page 8 for instructions).
Remove 37.0 Celsius label from display.
1. Power on
Press and release the power button once. Backlight
will come on and the warm up sequence starts. The
last reading is automatically displayed for 2 seconds
when the unit is switched ON.
2. Ready
When device displays STEADY “00.0” on the screen, it’s ready to take a
measurement.
3. Position
BEFORE pressing the measurement button, position the thermometer
on the forehead, just above the eyebrow. Be sure to make gentle but
firm contact with the skin. If the eyebrow area is covered with hair,
sweat or dirt, please clean the area beforehand to improve the reading
accuracy.
NOTE: Always remove the protective scanner cap before taking a
temperature reading.
4. Take temperature
Press the “Temperature button” and slowly swipe
down forehead to the ear and BACK AGAIN while the
short beeps are heard. Be sure to hold the
thermometer flush against the forehead for the
duration of the measurement.
When the temperature button is pressed a dashed line will appear on the screen and a soft
beeping is heard to let you know the thermometer is working. DO NOT remove the
thermometer from the skin until you hear the long, 2-second confirmation beep.
5. Read temperature
At the confirmation beep, remove the thermometer
from the skin and read the temperature. The screen
will illuminate the appropriate color for the
temperature reading. Green for a normal
temperature, yellow for a fever, and red for a high
fever.
To repeat
Go to step 3.
6. To turn off
Press the power button. To conserve battery power, the unit will automatically shut down
after 60 seconds of no use.
Temperature taking hints
It is important to know each individual’s normal temperature when they are well. This is the
only way to accurately diagnose a fever. Take multiple readings when healthy to determine
normal temperature.
A child’s normal temperature can be as high as 37.7 °C (99.9 °F) or as low as 36.1 °C (97.0 °F). Be
sure to note this unit reads 0.5 °C (0.9 °F) lower than a rectal digital measurement.
Before having temperature measured, individuals should be indoors for at least 30 minutes.
Hold the thermometer flush against the forehead and swipe slowly from above the eyebrow
down to the temple, and back again. Swiping too slow or too fast may impact your reading.
Swipe down the temple to the ear and back again. Use the beeps to help pace your swiping so
that you are in the starting position when the long beep is heard.
DO NOT remove the thermometer from the forehead before hearing the final beep.
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.
DO NOT use the TempleSwipe™ Thermometer in high humidity environments.
Individuals should not drink, eat, or be physically active before/while taking the measurement.
Before placing the thermometer sensor onto the forehead, remove dirt, hair, or sweat.
Use an alcohol swab to carefully clean the sensor and wait for 5 minutes before taking a
measurement on another Individual. Wiping the forehead with a warm or cool cloth may
impact your reading. It is advised to wait 15 minutes before taking a reading.
ALWAYS take the temperature in the same location, since the temperature readings may vary
from different locations on the forehead.
In the following situations, it is recommended that three temperatures be taken and the
highest one used as the reading:
• Infants within the first 100 days of their birth.
• Children under three years of age with a compromised immune system and for whom the
presence or absence of fever is critical.
