[. . . ] the displayed ThermoScan temperature is the actual measured ear canal temperature plus a mathematical adjustment to approximate the familiar oral range. However, this is not necessarily the same as an oral temperature measured at the same time. Clinical studies have shown that the ear is an excellent site for temperature measurement because temperatures taken in the ear reflect the body's core temperature. Body temperature is regulated by the hypothalamus, which shares the same blood supply as the tympanic membrane. [. . . ] The ear must be free from obstructions or excess earwax buildup to take an accurate reading. External factors may influence ear temperatures, including when an individual has : ­ been lying on one ear or the other ­ had their ears covered ­ been exposed to very hot or very cold temperatures, or ­ been recently swimming or bathing. In these cases, remove the individual from the situation and wait 20 minutes prior to taking a temperature. For persons wearing hearing aids or ear plugs, remove the device and wait 20 minutes prior to taking a temperature. Use the untreated ear if prescription ear drops or other ear medications have been placed in the ear canal. The last temperature taken before the thermometer powers down is stored in memory. Even in memory mode, a new temperature can be taken provided that the ready symbol is shown. For easy nighttime reading This thermometer is shipped with the Celsius temperature scale activated. if you wish to switch to Fahrenheit ( °F ) , proceed as follows: ø Turn on the thermometer. Then press and release the activation button to switch over to the «change temperature scale» mode. by pressing the activation button again , the Fahrenheit scale is activated , «°F » is displayed on the LCD. Each further pressing of the activation button toggles the scale between °C and °F. The temperature stored in memory will automatically be converted to the selected scale when displayed on the LCD. To ensure accurate readings, always use Braun ThermoScan disposable probe covers with the Pro 3000 thermometer. damaged , perforated , or soiled probe covers can lead to inaccurate temperature readings. Additionally, the accuracy of your temperature readings can be affected by damage to the probe window, or the presence of dirt and ear wax on the probe window. Probe Window To assure a high level of accuracy, it is very important to keep this window clean, dry and undamaged. Fingerprints, earwax, dust and other soiling compounds reduce transparency of the window and result in lower temperature readings. If the thermometer is accidentally placed in the ear without a probe cover installed, the window must be cleaned immediately. Additionally, the window and/or probe tip area should never be modified, changed, or adjusted. these changes will affect calibration and accuracy of the thermometer. To clean the window, gently wipe its surface with a cotton swab slightly moistened with alcohol and immediately wipe dry with a clean cotton swab. [. . . ] To protect the environment, dispose of empty batteries at your retail store or at appropriate collections sites according to national or local regulations. If at any time you question the accuracy of measurement or the performance of the thermometer, contact a Welch Allyn Service Centre. to determine the date of manufacture , refer to the Lot number located in the battery compartment. The next two digits refer to the calendar week in the year of manufacture. [. . . ]
