• If ear drops or other ear medications have been placed in the
ear canal of one ear, take the temperature in the untreated ear.
• 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 aect body temperature.
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 hygienic 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
damage the tip.
Once the alcohol has dried completely, a new hygienic lens lter
can be put on and a temperature measurement taken. If the probe
tip is damaged, please contact Consumer Relations.
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 hygienic lens lters in a dry location
free from dust and contamination and away from direct sunlight.
Additional hygienic lens lters (LF40 /LF20) are available at most
stores selling the Braun ThermoScan® 4 Ear thermometer.
