  If your Braun thermometer shows a 'System error – self-check display', try the following steps: First, wait one minute until the thermometer flashes continuously and does not turn off automatically, then turn it on again. If that doesn't work, reset the thermometer by removing the batteries and putting them back in. As another option, replace the batteries with new ones.
