Always be sure your Genius™ 3 thermometer and base are clean, especially the probe tip lens. A dirty lens will reduce the temperature reading.
Always check the lens before use. It should have a mirror-like finish and be free of debris, fingerprints, and smudges.
For routine lens cleaning, wipe with a lint-free cloth. If the lens remains soiled, clean with a cloth or cotton bud dampened with isopropyl alcohol.

The clean lens
• Always check the condition of the lens. • Any debris on the lens may result in an incorrect temperature reading. • To clean the lens use a lint-free cloth. If the lens is extremely dirty, isopropyl alcohol can be used to clean the lens. • If isopropyl alcohol is used to clean an extremely dirty lens, it must be placed, tip down, to dry completely. If the lens is not completely dry, low temperature measurement will result. • The lens must be mirror-like and smudge free. © 2018 Cardinal Health. All Rights Reserved.
