Usage
This non-contact forehead thermometer is a battery-operated infrared thermometer intended for intermittent measurement of human body temperature for home use for people of all ages, except premature and "small-for-gestational-age" (SGA) infants, using the center of the forehead for measurement.
Instructions for use
It is important to know a person's normal temperature when they are healthy. This is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever. Take multiple measurements when the person is healthy to determine their normal temperature.
A child's normal temperature can range between 37.7 °C (99.9 °F) and 36.1 °C (97.0 °F). Please note that this device reads up to 0.6 °C (1.0 °F) lower than a rectal digital thermometer because it provides an oral reading.
NOTE: The thermometer and the person should be in the same ambient temperature for at least 30 minutes to avoid measurement discrepancies.
ALWAYS keep the thermometer and forehead still during measurement. DO NOT move the thermometer until you hear a beep (except in silent mode).
Breastfeeding mothers should avoid taking their own temperature or having it taken by someone else during and immediately after breastfeeding, as breastfeeding affects body temperature.
People should not drink, eat, or be physically active immediately before or during measurement. Remove headwear and wait 10 minutes before measuring.
Remove dirt or hair from the forehead area before measuring temperature. Wait 10 minutes after cleaning the forehead before taking a measurement.
ALWAYS take the temperature exactly as indicated. The measured temperature may vary if the thermometer is placed in the wrong spot.
In the circumstances below, it is advised to take three measurements in the same location and use the highest value.
• For newborns within the first 100 days after birth.
• For children under 3 years old with a weakened immune system where it is crucial to know if they have a fever.
• When the user is learning how to use the thermometer. (Until they are familiar with the instrument and obtain consistent readings.)
General precautions:
• Before measuring temperature, use a dry cloth to remove any dirt or sweat from the forehead area.
• Do not place any cooling or warming materials on the forehead for at least 30 minutes before measurement.
• Remove blankets and pillows from the head and face before measuring temperature.
• DO NOT take measurements in areas with scar tissue, open wounds, or abrasions.
• ALWAYS store the thermometer in a dry, clean environment. DO NOT store the thermometer in a place with sharp objects that could damage the sensor. Dirt, dust, and scratches will affect the accuracy of temperature measurements.

Maintenance and cleaning
Use an alcohol wipe or cotton swab with alcohol (70% isopropyl) to clean the thermometer casing and the measuring probe. Make sure no liquid enters the thermometer. NEVER use harsh
cleaning agents, thinner, or benzene for cleaning, and NEVER immerse the instrument in water or other cleaning liquids. Ensure the thermometer lens is not scratched by replacing the protective cap after
use. NEVER insert a sharp object into the scanner area or other openings of the thermometer.
Replacing the batteries
The Braun Sensian™ 3 thermometer comes with 2 AAA batteries.
Replace the batteries with 2 new AAA batteries when the flashing battery symbol is displayed on the LCD screen. Replace the batteries by sliding open the battery compartment and removing the batteries. Insert the
new batteries, making sure they are properly aligned as indicated in the battery compartment. If you do not use the product for an extended period, remove the batteries. This prevents damage due to leaking batteries.
Only dispose of empty batteries. They should not be disposed of with household waste, but should be handed in at designated collection points or your point of sale.
Still functioning until 0% battery life remains. Replace the batteries.
If the battery symbol is the only symbol displayed on the screen, the device is not working.
The battery must be replaced immediately.
Replace the batteries.

DO NOT drop the instrument. Protect it from heavy impacts and
shocks.
DO NOT use the device if it has been damaged,
degraded, or loosened in any way. The effects of damaged sensors and
electrodes, or loose electrodes, may reduce performance or
cause other problems.
An elevated temperature may indicate a serious illness, especially in
(newborn) babies and in adults who are elderly, or who have poor
health or a weakened immune system. Consult
a doctor immediately if an elevated temperature occurs in:
• Newborn babies younger than 3 months (consult your
GP immediately if the temperature is above 37.4 °C (99.4 °F)
• People aged 60 and older (fever may be
suppressed or absent in older people)
• People with diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system
(for example, due to HIV-positive status, chemotherapy for cancer,
chronic treatment with immunosuppressants, removed spleen)
• Bedridden individuals (for example, patients in nursing homes, people
who have had a stroke, people with paraplegia or quadriplegia,
people with a chronic illness, or people recovering from surgery)
• Transplant patients (for example, after a liver,
heart, lung, or kidney transplant).
DO NOT allow children to take their own temperature unsupervised.
Consult your GP for symptoms such as unexplained irritability,
vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, changes in appetite or activity,
seizures, muscle pain, shivering, a stiff neck, and pain when urinating, even if there
is no fever.
People with a normal temperature may also need medical attention even if there
is no fever. The condition of people taking
antibiotics, pain relievers, or fever reducers should not be assessed solely
on the basis of temperature measurements to determine the severity of their
illness.
