How to use the Braun Digital
Thermometer
To turn on the thermometer, push the
light green on/off button; a short
signaling tone [beep] signals «Thermo-
meter on». A display test is performed
lighting up all symbols on the display.
In an ambient temperature below 32 °C
«---» and a «°C» appear and the
thermometer is now ready for use on
different body sites. (In an ambient
temperature higher than 32 °C, the
temperature and a flashing «°C» are
displayed).
• During measurement, the current
temperature is displayed continu-
ously. The «°C» symbol flashes
during this period of time. The
measuring process is finished
when the signaling tone sounds
[beep...beep...beep 10 times] and
the «°C» is no longer flashing.
• To prolong the life of the battery,
turn the thermometer off by pres-
sing the on/off button briefly.
Otherwise the thermometer will
automatically turn off after about
10 minutes.
Memory Mode
•
If you press the on/off button for
more than 3 seconds when turning
the thermometer on, the last
measured temperature, which was
stored automatically, will be dis-
played. At the same time, a small
«M» for memory will appear at the
right of the display. After 3 more
seconds, this value will disappear
and the thermometer will switch off.
The stored value will be replaced by
the new value, which is also stored
automatically.
Cleaning & disinfecting
In order to avoid cross-contamination
clean the Braun Digital Thermometer
thoroughly after usage. We recommend
using commercial disinfectants. Do
not immerse the thermometer in this
dilution for more than 24 hours.
Body temperature
Normal body temperature is a range.
The following table shows that this
normal range also varies by site.
Therefore, readings from different sites
should not be directly compared.
However, the range of normal also
varies from person to person and
fluctuates throughout the day. It is
therefore important to determine your
normal temperature range. Practice
taking temperatures on yourself and
healthy family members to determine
their normal temperature ranges.
Trouble shooting
«ERR»
Every time the thermometer is turned
on a test is performed automatically to
check that the thermometer is in
working order. If the message «ERR»
appears on the display, contact the
Braun Customer Service Centre.

When the «
▼
»-symbol appears, the
battery is exhausted and needs to be
disposed.
«H»
The measured temperature exceeds the
displayed temperature range (>42.9 °C).
«- - - °C»
The measured temperature is lower
than the displayed temperature range
(<32.0 °C).
