How to Use Your Braun Age Precision™ Thermometer

3 Simple Steps:

1. Switch on the thermometer by pressing the On/O button

 Youwillhearashortbeepanddisplaysegmentcheckwillbeperformed.Afterthesegmentcheck,last

temperaturereadingwillbedisplayedfor2seconds.Subsequently,theageiconsandagerangewill

cycle,untiltheAgePrecisionbuttonispressed.

2. Select the age by pressing the AgePrecision™ button

 WhentheAgePrecision™buttonispressed,theagerangeiconswillstopcycling,andstopontheage

range icon that was showing when the button was pressed. Keep pressing the button until the desired

agesettingisdisplayed.Thethermometerhas3agesettings:

 Aftertheageisselected,theagerangeiconremainssteadilylit.

Thedisplaywillshowthreedashedlinesandthethermometer

3. Take the measurement by placing it on the measurement site.

 Oncetemperatureriseisdetectedbythermometerinmeasurementmode,itwillbegintomeasure.

Ifthethermometerdoesn’tmeasureatemperaturerise,theageiconandthreedashedlineswillbe
