Temperature taking hints
Patients should stay in steady - state room condition for at least 30 minutes.
Hold the thermometer flush against the forehead and swipe slowly from above
the eyebrow down to the temple, and back again. Swiping too slow or too fast
may impact your reading.
Do not remove the thermometer from the forehead before hearing the final beep.
Do not take a measurement while or immediately after nursing a baby.
Do not use the Forehead thermometer in high humidity environments.
Patients should not drink, eat, or be physically active before/while taking the
measurement.
Before placing the thermometer sensor onto the forehead, remove dirt, hair, or
sweat.
Use an alcohol swab to carefully clean the sensor and wait for 5 minutes before
taking a measurement on another patient. Wiping the forehead with a warm
or cool cloth may impact your reading. It is advised to wait 15 minutes before
taking a reading.

To turn off
Press the power button. To conserve battery power,
the unit will automatically shut down after 20 seconds
of no use.
Calibration
The thermometer is initially calibrated at the time of manufacture. If this
thermometer is used according to the use instructions, periodic re-adjustment is
not required. If at any time you question the accuracy of temperature
measurements, please contact Consumer Relations.
Manufacturing date is given by the LOT number located inside the battery
compartment. The first three (3) digits after LOT represent the Julian date that the
product was manufactured and the next two (2) digits represent the last two
numbers of the calendar year the product was manufactured. The last identifiers
are the letters that represent the manufacturer.
An example: LOT 11612, this product has been manufactured on the 116th day of
the year 2012.
Always take the temperature in the same location, since the temperature
readings may vary from different locations on the forehead.
In the following situations it is recommended that three temperatures in the
same location be taken and the highest one taken as the reading:
• Newborn infants in the first 100 days.
• Children under three years of age with a compromised immune system and
for whom the presence or absence of fever is critical.
• When the user is learning how to use the thermometer for the first time
until he/she has familiarized himself/herself with the instrument and obtains
consistent readings.
Memory mode
The Braun Forehead thermometer includes a memory feature to recall the last
temperature reading. The last temperature taken is stored in its memory and will
be automatically displayed for 2 seconds when it is turned on.
