14. Replacing the batteries The thermometer is supplied with two 1 5 V type AA LR 06 For best performance we recommend Duracell alkaline batteries Insert new batteries when the battery symbol appears on the display Open the battery compartment Remove the batteries and replace with new batteries making sure the poles are in the right direction Slide battery door back until it snaps in place To protect the environment dispose of empty batteries at your retail store or at appropriate collection sites according to national or local regulations Calibration The thermometer is initially calibrated at the time of manufacture If this thermometer is used according to the use instructions periodic re adjustment is not required If at any time you question the accuracy of measurement please contact Braun Infoline phone See page 2 Manufacturing date is given by the LOT number located in the battery compartment The first number after LOT represents the last digit of the year of manufacture The next three digits give the day of the year of manufacture An example LOT 0116 xx xx this product has been manufactured on the 116th day of the year 2000 in Product specifications Displayed temperature range 34 42 2 C 93 2 108 F Operating ambient temperature range 10 40 C 50 104 F Display resolution 0 1 C or F Accuracy for displayed temperature range 0 2 C 35 5 42 C 95 9 107 6 F 0 3 C out
