This warranty does not apply to damage resulting from commercial, abusive, unreasonable use or supplemental damage. Defects that are the result of normal wear and tear will not be considered manufacturing defects under this warranty<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Question: What should I do if my thermometer is displaying an Err message?” toggle_icon=”||fa||900″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” border_width_all=”0px” border_width_left=”2px” border_color_left=”#ea9e1c” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_font=”|700|||||||” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Answer: This will occur if the ambient temperature is not within the allowed operating range (50 \u2013 104 \u00b0F or 10 \u2013 40 \u00b0C.)\u00a0 In order to resolve this, we would recommend you allow the thermometer to remain for 30 minutes in a room where the temperature is between 50 and 104 \u00b0F or 10 and 40 \u00b0C.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Question: What does a flashing display or no display mean when I turn on my thermometer?” toggle_icon=”||fa||900″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” border_width_all=”0px” border_width_left=”2px” border_color_left=”#ea9e1c” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_font=”|700|||||||” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Answer:<\/p>\n A flashing display indicates a system error. We suggest waiting 1 minute until the thermometer turns off by itself and then turns on again.

The main difference is that you need to gently touch the center of the forehead to take a reading. It is a great choice for young squirmy children that are feeling under the weather.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Question: What are the benefits to using an ear thermometer?” toggle_icon=”||fa||900″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” border_width_all=”0px” border_width_left=”2px” border_color_left=”#ea9e1c” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_font=”|700|||||||” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Answer: The ear is a good site for temperature measurement because it reflects the core temperature of the body(1). Body temperature is regulated by the hypothalamus(2), which shares the same blood supply as the tympanic membrane(3). This means changes in core body temperature are usually detected sooner in the tympanic membrane than other areas. All Braun infrared ear thermometers feature ThermoScan\u00ae technology, which measure heat generated by the eardrum and surrounding tissue to give an accurate temperature on an easy to read digital display in seconds.<\/p>\n Citation:<\/p>\n [1] Guyton A C, Textbook of Medical Physiology, W.B.

Do not store your thermometer in temperature extremes below -13 \u00b0F or over 131 \u00b0F or in excessive humidity (above 95% relative humidity). If the thermometer is stored in a location that is cooler or warmer than where it will be used, allow it to acclimate to the room temperature for 10 minutes before taking the measurement.<\/p>\nNeed further assistance?<\/span><\/h3>\n
