Fit the probe snuggly into the ear canal and direct towards opposite temple. ExacTemp will confirm stability and indicate consistent probe position with a light and a beep. Then push and release the Start button.
ExacTemp light will pulse while temperature measurement is in progress. The light will remain solid for 3 seconds to indicate that a successful temperature reading has been achieved.
The confirmation beep indicates that an accurate temperature measurement has been taken.

For the next measurement, press Eject button to remove and discard used Hygiene cap.
The Braun ThermoScan Ear thermometer turns off automatically after 60 seconds of inactivity. The thermometer can also be turned off by pressing the Power button.

Bought this because I am having problems with recurrent illness and hypothermia. My normal thermometer was reading my temp as 32C which is classed as an emergency, although the same one read my husband’s temp as normal. By the I get to the doc, my temp has normalised and they don’t believe me. This is the same model as the GP, so next time I am ill, I can check my temp accurately.
BUT, the instructions say location of device is crucial and a light and beep will go to tell you it is correctly positioned before pushing the start button. This doesn’t happen. My temp looks OK at the moment, so fingers crossed I am locating it properly. It isn’t easy to know if you are far enough in, or pointing at ‘opposite temple’ as instructed.
The box is a bit damaged but the product itself is new, with no issues in use. very acceptable for a marked-down price from the amazon warehouse. Satisfied with the purchase. thanls
Can’t recommend this hermometre enough. I took my son to the doctor for an ear infection and this was the type he used, although I am not sure it is the exact same model. Seeing how easy it was I came back and bought this immediately.
Incredibly easy to use. Turn on, select age range, pop it in the ear and press a button. The whole sequence probably takes 5 seconds and is so much simpler than using an under the armpit thermometer. They are slow and would often give out slightly different readings each time. Plus trying to hold a baby’s arm down when they are upset and ill, is difficult and will often upset them more.
They barely notice this is their ear and its quick and accurate. Best thing is you can use it for adults too. Comes with a pack of disposable tips as well, so if the baby has a bit of wax in their ear, you don’t have to clean the thermometer constantly.
Another useful feature is the memory function, which remembers the previous temperature taken. Great when you are trying to track whether your baby’s temperature is going up or down, especially because I always forget the exact reading a few hours later.
This is my 2nd one of these thermometers, they seem accurate and its good that you can select the persons age as different temps mean different things. Its also very helpful to have a red amber or green light indication so i dont need to know what precise temperate is too high etc. I use it a lot with 2 small children, and it was mainly used throughout the pandemic, but probably only changed batteries twice.
My first one did only last 3 years though, so i was disappointed that it didnt have a longer life span.
I originally bought this thermometer for peace of mind. My sister has it for children and had advised me to purchase! It is the best thermometer on the market, we have compared with a few other brands and this is always right with temperatures. It is so easy to use, compact, comes with a great stand and replaceable plastic covers for the earpiece! It has totally ease my anxiety regarding my newborn taking temperatures previous! I would be lost without it, it stays in our changing bag for when we are out and about.
I find this Braun thermometer very accurate compared to older models I’ve used. It gives fast readings and is easy to use on myself or my child. When we had Covid, it was very good to see what’s going on. The color-coded temperature display makes it easy to see if a fever is present. Much better than the old one I had! Definitely recommended.
Used a normal under arm thermometer with my first child. Second child wouldn’t stay still so we invested in this. Wow brilliant, she now loves to have her temperature checked! Super fast and very accurate comparing to the underarm thermometer.
I have used a few different braun thermometers this one is excellent if you have a baby or 3 and under it’s worth paying more for the more accurate reading. Over 3 just get a normal adult one for cheaper.
As a mum and a nurse I hate seeing my little one unwell, so to have an accurate easy to use thermometer was very important and this fits the bill.
Easy to use even for non medical persons, simple display and the age setting indicates if the temperature is okay.
Great digital thermometer. Iv bought 2 other models from other brands and both inaccurate. This machine is spot on. Also I am an adult and use it on me so it’s not just for kids.
Price is very reasonable too. Don’t hesitate to buy.
