FAQs
How often should I change the hygiene cap?
You should use a new, disposable hygiene cap for every measurement to ensure hygiene and maintain reading accuracy. Do not reuse caps.
Can I use the Braun ThermoScan 6 on my newborn baby?
Yes, the Braun ThermoScan 6 is designed with a wide-angle probe that provides accurate measurements for the entire family, including newborns. The pre-warmed tip ensures gentleness.
What do the colours on the LCD display mean?
The colour-coded display helps interpret the temperature reading. Typically, green indicates a normal temperature, yellow suggests an elevated temperature, and red signals a high fever. Refer to the instruction manual for specific temperature ranges associated with each colour.
How do I clean the thermometer?
After removing the used hygiene cap, wipe the probe and the body of the thermometer with an alcohol swab or a soft, damp cloth. Do not submerge the thermometer in water or any other liquids. Ensure it is dry before storing.
Does this thermometer store multiple past temperature readings?
The Braun ThermoScan 6 only recalls the last temperature reading taken. It does not store a history of multiple measurements.
What type of batteries does the thermometer use?
The Braun ThermoScan 6 requires 2x AA batteries. Two are included with the product.
Where can I purchase additional hygiene caps?
Additional Braun Hygiene Caps can be purchased from most pharmacies, major retailers, or online stores where Braun products are sold. Ensure you buy caps compatible with ThermoScan models.
Troubleshooting
Inaccurate or inconsistent readings
Ensure a new hygiene cap is properly attached before each use. Check that the ExactTemp light and beep confirm correct positioning within the ear canal. Ensure the ear canal is clear of obstructions. Avoid taking measurements immediately after bathing or exercise, as these can affect ear temperature. Wait at least 30 minutes. The pre-warmed tip also aids accuracy, ensure it's functioning by checking the display.
Thermometer won't turn on
Verify that the 2x AA batteries are correctly installed with the right polarity. Replace the batteries with new ones if they are depleted. If the issue persists, ensure the battery compartment is securely closed.
ExactTemp light/beep doesn't activate
Make sure a hygiene cap is firmly attached to the probe; the device might not function without it. Re-position the probe within the ear canal, ensuring it has a stable and proper fit. If the problem continues, try changing the hygiene cap.
