Lens filters are located inside the thermometer

storage cover. Remove the box from the cover

and open the box of lens filters by completely

removing top of box (Figure 4a). You may

return the box to the cover for convenient

storage (Figure 4b).

The thermometer is shipped with a lens filter in

place. To install a new lens filter, remove the

one in place, then take a new one from the box

and holding it by its edges, slide it onto the

lens until it is snug and snaps in place.

Caution: Do not touch the tip of the lens or

lens filter when installing.

With a new lens filter in place, attach the

storage cover to the thermometer to protect

the lens from damage and dirt. Place the lens

end of the thermometer into the storage cover

first matching the indent in front of the

activation button with the corresponding tab

inside the cover (Figure 5a), then snap the

opposite ends together (Figure 5b). To

remove the unit from the storage cover,

reverse this procedure.

Note: Always use and store the thermo-

meter with a new lens filter attached.

Apply label to storage cover as indicated

(Figure 5c).

How ear

temperatures

compare to

temperatures

taken at more

traditional sites

The Braun ThermoScan Instant Thermometer

displays ear temperature readings, which

frequently cannot be compared directly to

temperatures taken at the same time at

another site. This is because the temperature

measured at the ear with the Braun

ThermoScan Thermometer more closely

reflects any rapid changes occurring with the

internal (core) body temperature.

Temperatures taken in the ear canal tend to

reflect changes in internal body temperature

sooner than oral, rectal or axillary (armpit)

because the eardrum shares blood supply

with the temperature control center in the

brain. Oral temperatures are influenced by

eating, drinking, smoking, rapid breathing,

thermometer placement or the inability of the

person to close their mouth completely.

Axillary temperatures have not been found to

be accurate indicators of core temperatures

except in newborns.

Temperature changes are also seen sooner

when measured in the ear canal. Studies

show that rectal temperatures “lag“ behind

internal (core) body temperatures, especially

during periods of rapid warming and cooling,

as when you have a fever. This is due to the

poor blood supply in this area, insulating

effects of stool, and the presence of heat

producing microorganisms located there.
