Thank you for purchasing this Braun

Digital Thermometer. This premium,

high-speed, digital thermometer was

developed to measure the human body

temperature under the tongue, under

the armpit or inside the rectum.

As with any other thermo-

meter, proper handling and

storage is necessary in

order to obtain accurate

readings. When used

properly, this thermometer will give

you years of accurate temperature

readings that you can depend on.

Please read the use instructions

thoroughly. The use of this thermo-

meter is not intended as a substitute

for consultation with your doctor.

Safety instructions

• This thermometer is intended for

household use only.

• The thermometer is only suitable for

the measurement of body tempera-

ture!

• Always adhere to the minimum

measurement time (until the

signaling tone [beep] is heard).

• Keep the thermometer away from

children.

• Do not expose the thermometer

to mechanical shock. Use the pro-

tective cap to prevent damage.

• Do not bend the tip more than 45°!

• Do not expose to temperatures

above 60 °C. Never

boil the

thermometer! Keep the thermo-

meter away from direct sunlight

or high temperatures.

• Only use commercial disinfectants

to clean the thermometer. The

thermometer must be intact when

immersed in liquid disinfectant.

• Attention: The thermometer

contains a SR41 1,55 V battery.

The battery life is associated with

the lifetime of the thermometer. For

your safety the battery compart-

ment lid is securely attached to the

thermometer and cannot be re-

moved without a standard tool.

For disposal, please comply with

local regulations for special waste.

• The thermometer is initially cali-

brated at the time of manufacture.

If this thermometer is used

according to the use instructions,

the accuracy of measurements will

not be affected. If at any time you

question the accuracy of the

temperature measurement, please

contact the Braun Infoline (phone,

see page 1).

• Manufacturing date is given by the

LOT number located in the battery

compartment. The first number

after LOT represents the last digit

of the year of manufacture. The

last two digits give the week of

manufacture.

An example: LOT 503 – this product

has been manufactured in the week

03 of the year 2005.

Hints when measuring at

different sites

Oral use

Do not drink hot or cold fluids, exercise,

smoke or perform other activities that

will raise or lower temperature readings

when compared to your normal body

temperature. We recommend using the

thermometer orally only with children

four years and older. The mouth should

remain closed up to 5 minutes before

taking a reading. Place the probe well

under the tongue. Instruct children not

to bite down on the probe. Opening

the mouth or improper placement of

the probe tip could result in a longer

measurement time. The peak tempe-

rature should be reached in approxi-

mately 20 seconds.

Underarm/axillary use

The armpit is not an ideal site to

measure body temperature, because

temperature is measured on the surface

of the skin and not in a closed body

cavity (such as mouth and rectum). The

time required for an accurate underarm

temperature may therefore take 90

seconds or longer. For an accurate

temperature measurement you should:

Wipe the underarm with a dry towel.

Keep the armpit closed for several

minutes before placing the thermo-

meter. Do not open the armpit too long

before placing the thermometer. Place

the thermometer under the armpit and

press the arm tightly against the body.

Make sure the measuring sensor is

completely covered under the armpit

and do not open it during the measure-

ment process. To ensure an accurate

underarm (axillar) measurement we

recommend waiting 90 seconds before

reading the temperature displayed.

Please note that the reading obtained

immediately after the beep might be

compromised by the above mentioned

shortcomings related to the axillar

measurement site.

Rectal use

Gently insert the tip of the thermometer

into the rectum. Do not force the tip

into the rectum (if resistance is encoun-

tered). The rectum is a closed body

cavity and allows a faster reading.
