How to Change a Braun ThermoScan Thermometer From Celsius to Fahrenheit

Use the Braun ThermoScan thermometer to take the temperature of all members of the family, from the oldest to the youngest 1. The ThermoScan ear thermometer senses the temperature inside the ear canal 1. This means that even parents of babies who cannot safely hold a thermometer under their tongue can still determine if their child has a fever. A quick scan of the ear produces the temperature in seconds, not minutes. These thermometers have readouts in both Celsius and Fahrenheit scales. You can switch from Celsius to Fahrenheit on the thermometer to see the temperature in the scale you best understand.
