Wait for the “ready” beep and place the probe snugly into the ear canal; correct probe placement is essential for accurate readings. 3. Press and release the Start button. The thermometer will beep once. The green ExacTemp™ light above the Start button will flash, indicating stable probe placement. 4. A long beep and a solid green ExacTemp light will signal the end of the measurement. 5. If the probe is not placed in a stable position while taking a temperature, the device beeps, the green ExacTemp light goes out and POS (Position Error) will display.

Tips for Taking Ear Temperatures with the Braun ThermoScan PRO 4000 ®
1. Always apply a probe cover. If the device is placed in the ear canal without a probe cover, the lens must be cleaned before the next use. 2. Clean the lens with an alcohol swab and allow five minutes for complete drying. 3. Use only Braun ThermoScan probe covers. 4. The following will interfere with accurate temperature readings: > Poor probe placement
> Ambient temperature
> Dirty, wet or damaged probe lens
> Lying on pillow
> No or used probe cover
> Hearing aid
5. The following will not interfere with accurate temperature readings: > Cerumen (ear wax) > Otitis Media (ear infection) > Tympanostomy tubes
