thermometer and dock every 4 months because debris that accumulates in the contacts can interfere with
data transmission. See "Clean the Braun ThermoScan PRO 6000 contacts" later in this manual.

replacing the battery after 1 year or when its remaining capacity no longer meets workflow requirements.
