5. Fit the probe snuggly into the ear canal and direct towards opposite
temple. Then push and release the Start button .
6. ExacTemp® 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 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. Temperature reading displayed is an equivalent of oral
temperature.
8. For the next measurement, press Eject button to remove and discard
used Hygiene cap, and put on a new, clean Hygiene cap.
NOTE: Defaults to last age setting used if you do not change.
The Braun ThermoScan Ear thermometer turns off automatically after
60 seconds of inactivity. The thermometer can also be turned off by
pressing the Power button .
The display will briefly flash OFF and it will go blank.

Temperature-taking hints
Replace disposable Hygiene cap (single use device) with every use to
maintain accuracy, hygiene and to prevent cross-contamination. Earwax
and dirt on the tip of the Hygiene cap, even in a microscopic layer, can
create an obstacle between the sensor and the infrared heat emitted by the
ear and impact the accuracy of the measurement.
External factors like poor probe replacement, used Hygiene cap or dirty Hygiene
cap may influence ear temperature measurements.
In clinical studies, precision and accuracy of ear thermometer measurement has been shown to be influenced by
variability in user technique. Correct probe placement is essential for accurate measurements.
Temperature in right and left ear differs, always compare measurements from the same ear. The natural
physiological difference may reach 0.2 °C. In the absence of confounding factors, in high-risk population (like infants or
immunodepressed people) use the highest of the two to interpret the patient’s condition.
In the following cases, wait 20 minutes prior to taking a temperature: extreme changes in room temperature, hearing
aid, lying on a pillow. Use the untreated ear if ear drops or other medications have been placed in the ear canal.
Night mode
Night mode is entered by pressing the night mode button. Secondary press of night mode button
turns nightmode off - both sound on and flashlight off. The night mode remains on until the
thermometer enters sleep mode through time out or power button press. When the thermometer
is turned back on it will enter normal mode.
In night mode, all audible beeps are muted, the Night mode icon is displayed on the screen and
flashlight will turn on.
At completion of the measurement the flashlight will flash twice and stay on afterwards.
Nightmode will stay on until night mode button is pressed or the device is turned off.
How to illuminate the display
The thermometer includes a convenient night light to illuminate the display in a dim
environment.
The light will turn on when you press any button. It will stay on until the thermometer is inactive
for up to 15 seconds even after temperature is taken.
Last reading recall
The previous measurement will be displayed during start up.
After this, the prvious measurement will be displayed
in the upper right-hand corner of the display with an
‘M’ next to it.
The memory in the upper right corner will update to the new reading with the first button press
after the reading is completed.
