Changing the default temperature scale
Your Braun ThermoScan is shipped with a default
temperature scale activated. If you wish to switch
between Celsius «°C» and Fahrenheit «°F» , proceed as
follows:
Make sure the thermometer is turned off.
Press and hold down the «
» button. After about 3
seconds the display will show this sequence:
«°F» / «SET» / «°C» / «SET» ...
Release the «
» button when the desired scale
is shown.
There will be a short beep to confirm the new setting,
then the thermometer is turned off automatically. When
turned on again,temperatures will be shown
in the selected scale, until the above procedure is
repeated.
Base station for storage, charging,
anti-theft function (optional)
For your Braun ThermoScan PRO 4000, there is a Base
Station available. Contact your distributor for details
(see inside cover).
The station automatically recharges the thermometer
(when using the rechargeable batteries supplied with the
base station), and it has an electronic, individually
adjustable anti-theft function. It also serves as a
convenient storage base (can be wall mounted).
It requires returning the thermometer to the station
within an individually pre-selected time. Otherwise the
thermometer will be locked.
When leaving the factory, the anti-theft function of the
PRO 4000 is turned off.
If the anti-theft function is enabled, and when not
in the measuring process (stand-by mode) the
thermometer will show the time remaining before
it is locked.
For turning on the anti-theft function, please refer
to the base station manual.
If the thermometer shows «RET» (without the battery
symbol) on its display, the anti-theft time has elapsed
and the thermometer must be returned to the station for
unlocking.
If the anti-theft function is not enabled, the display will
show «off» when in stand-by mode.

Care and cleaning
Braun ThermoScan probe covers are intended for single use only! To
ensure accurate readings, always use Braun ThermoScan disposable
probe covers with the Pro 4000 thermometer. Damaged, perforated,
or soiled probe covers can lead to inaccurate temperature readings.
Additionally, the accuracy of your temperature readings can be af-
fected by damage to the probe window, or the presence of dirt and ear
wax on the probe window.
Probe Window
To assure a high level of accuracy, it is very important to keep this
window clean, dry and undamaged. Fingerprints, earwax, dust and
other soiling compounds reduce transparency of the window and result
in lower temperature readings. If the thermometer is accidentally placed
in the ear without a probe cover installed, the window must be cleaned
immediately. Additionally, the window and/or probe tip area should
never be modified, changed, or adjusted. These changes will affect
calibration and accuracy of the thermometer.
To clean the window, gently wipe its surface with a cotton swab slightly
moistened with isopropyl alcohol and immediately wipe dry with a clean
cotton swab. After cleaning, allow at least 5 minutes drying time before
taking temperatures. Make sure probe window is clean and dry. Avoid
touching the window except when cleaning is required. If the window is
damaged, the thermometer must be returned to Welch Allyn for service
.
Note: Do not use any chemical other than isopropyl alcohol to clean the
probe window.
Thermometer
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with isopropyl alcohol to clean the
thermometer display and exterior. As needed, clean the thermometer
and probe with a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution or a 10% chlorine
bleach solution or a nonstaining disinfectant such as CaviCide® or its
equivalent. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Never submerge the
thermometer in water or any other liquid. Store thermometer and probe
covers in a dry location (the thermometer is not protected against
ingress of water), free from dust and contamination and away from
direct sunlight. The ambient temperature at the storage location should
remain fairly constant and within the range of 10 °C to 40 °C (50 °F to
104 °F).
