The BraunThermoScan® 3 High Speed Compact Ear
Thermometer is intended for the intermittent measurement
and monitoring of human body temperature by consumers in
the home.
Important safety information
Please consult your doctor if you see symptoms such as
unexplained irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration,
changes in appetite or activity, seizure, muscle pain,
shivering, sti neck, pain when urinating, etc. in spite of
absence of fever.
The operating ambient temperature range for this
thermometer is 50 – 104 °F (10 – 40 °C).
Parents/guardians should call the pediatrician upon noticing
any unusual sign(s) or symptom(s). For example, a child who
exhibits irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, seizure,
changes in appetite or activity, even in the absence of fever,
or who exhibits a low temperature, may still need to receive
medical attention.
Children who are on antibiotics, analgesics, or antipyretics
should not be assessed solely on temperature readings
to determine the severity of their illness.

Temperature elevation may signal a serious illness, especially
in adults who are old, frail, have a weakened immune system,
or neonates and infants. Please seek professional advice
immediately when there is a temperature elevation and
if you are taking temperature for individuals whom are:
• neonates and infants under 3 months
• over 60 years of age
• having diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system
(e.g. HIV positive, cancer chemotherapy, chronic steroid
treatment, splenectomy)
• a transplant patient (e.g. liver, heart, lung, kidney)
Fever may be lower or even absent in elderly patients.
Do not expose the thermometer to temperature extremes
(below –13 °F / –25 °C or over 131 °F / 55 °C ) or excessive
humidity (> 95 % RH).
This thermometer must only be used with genuine Braun
ThermoScan® disposable lens lters. Other lens lters can
lead to inaccuracy.
To avoid inaccurate measurements always use this
thermometer with a new, clean, disposable lens lter.
If the thermometer is accidentally used without a disposable
lens lter, clean the lens after use (see“Care and cleaning”).
Keep disposable lens lters out of reach of children.
This thermometer is intended for household use only.
This product is not intended to diagnose any disease, but
is a useful screening tool for temperature.
Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute
for consultation with your physician.
This thermometer must stay in stable ambient (room)
temperature for 30 minutes before operating.

Audio temperature indicator
Thermometer will signal by beeps normal, elevated or high
temperature.
Temperature reading Number of beeps
Normal (99.3 °F or ≤37.4 °C) One beep: )
Elevated (99.5 °F or ≥ 37.5 °C) Two beeps, repeated: )) )) ))
High (101.5 °F or ≥ 38.6 °C) Four beeps, repeated: )))) )))) ))))
Body temperature
Normal body temperature is a range. It varies by site of
measurement and it tends to decrease with age. It also varies from
person to person and uctuates throughout the day.Therefore, it
is important to determine normal temperature ranges.
How to use your BraunThermoScan®
Before taking the temperature, make sure the ear is free from
obstructions or excess earwax.
Do not attempt to take the reading without a disposable lens
lter on – the measuring sensor must be kept protected and
clean from earwax to give accurate readings.
Change the disposable lens lter with each use to ensure
hygiene, to keep child safe from cross-contamination and to
ensure earwax residues on the disposable lens lter do not
impact accuracy of the reading.

1. To turn the thermometer on, push the“start”button (4).
During an internal self-check, the display
shows all segments.
The reading showed on the screen is the
last temperature taken.
Flashing symbol of lens lter will appear if
no lens lter is attached.Temperature can
be taken only if lens lter is mounted on
the probe.
The thermometer is ready to use after two
beeps are sounded and the non-ashing
ear icon appears.
2. Fit the probe (3) snugly into the ear canal,
then push the “start” button (4).
One beep signals normal temperature.
Audio temperature indicator will trigger 2
consecutive beeps when the reading is
equal or higher to 99.5 °F (37.5 °C) and 4
beeps if the reading is equal or higher to
101.5 °F (38.6 °C). The result is shown on
the display (7).
3. Gently pull o the disposable lens lter (2).
Do not use force in removing the
disposable lens lter.

Disposable lens filters
Use a clean disposable hygienic lens lter with each
measurement:
1. To ensure hygienic use
2. To protect your child from cross-contamination
3. To ensure earwax residues do not impact accuracy of the
reading.
Earwax and dirt on the tip of the disposable lens lter, even in
microscopic layer, can create an obstacle between the sensor
and the infrared heat emitted by the ear and impact the
accuracy of the measurement.
Temperature taking hints
•Replace the disposable lens lter with every use to
maintain hygiene and accuracy.
•A measurement taken in the right ear may dier from the
measurement taken in 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 inuence 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 temperatures, or
– been recently swimming or bathing.
In these cases, remove the individual from the situation
and wait 20 minutes prior to taking a temperature.

•If ear drops or other ear medications have been placed in
the ear canal of one ear, take the temperature in the
untreated ear.
Care and cleaning
The probe tip (5) is the most delicate part of the thermometer.
It has to be clean and intact to ensure accurate readings.
If the thermometer is accidentally used without a disposable
lens lter, clean the probe tip as follows:
Very gently wipe the surface with a cotton
swab or soft cloth moistened with alcohol.
Do not use cleaners other than alcohol on
the probe tip. Use of other cleaners could
damange the tip.
Once the alcohol has dried completely, a new disposable lens
lter can be put on and a temperature measurement taken. If
the probe tip is damaged, please contact your authorized
local service center.
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the thermometer display and
product exterior. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Never
submerge this thermometer in water or any other liquid.
Store the thermometer and disposable lens lters in a dry
location free from dust and contamination and away from
direct sunlight.
Additional disposable lens lters (LF 40) are available at most
stores selling the BraunThermoScan® 3 High Speed Compact
EarThermometer.
