After installing multiple sets new alkaline batteries (that get used in other things, after trying), why does it prompt for insertion of new batteries?

If your Braun Thermoscan 6022 thermometer is not switching on even after you have replaced the batteries, there could be a few possible causes:

1. Battery installation: Make sure that you have inserted the batteries correctly, with the correct polarity. Check the battery contacts for any corrosion or debris and clean them if necessary.
2. Battery type: The Braun Thermoscan 6022 requires two AA alkaline batteries. If you have used a different type of battery, such as rechargeable batteries, this could be the reason why the thermometer is not turning on.
3. Battery life: Even if the batteries are new, they could be defective or may have run out of charge quickly. Try replacing the batteries with a fresh set of AA alkaline batteries.
4. Reset: Try resetting the thermometer by removing the batteries for at least one minute and then reinserting them. This can sometimes help to reset the internal electronics of the thermometer.
5. Faulty thermometer: If none of the above steps work, it is possible that the thermometer itself is faulty. In this case, you may need to contact Braun customer support for further assistance or consider purchasing a new thermometer.

Always charge batteries before using it for the first time, or if you have not used it for a long period. 3 months is a very long period.
Always charge sets of batteries (2 or 4) together.
Do not use alkaline batteries unless it is absolutely necessary. In some cases, alkaline batteries may have a shorter service life than NiMH. Alkaline battery performance is limited, especially at low temperatures. The use of NiMH batteries is recommended.
Never use manganese (Zinc-Carbon) batteries in electronic devices.
These batteries are only to be used in flash lights.

you might have cooked it..... fresh alkaline batteries carry a voltage of about 1.7v.
try turning it on/off multiple times to see if it will clear the fault.

• No, there is no shipping tabs to pull or anything like that. Just put 3 AAA batteries in and turn on. The only thing on your end is maybe you are using old batteries. Batteries on the shelf can go bad. Especially for those of us that keep some stored for emergencies. If you have tried installing a fresh set of 3 AAA ALKALINE (you might try a different set than the first ones) batteries in your radios and still get no response then you will have to return them. I am suggesting new ALKALINE batteries because it is odd that both radios malfunction right out of the box.

• No batteries are supplied with this radio but a NiMH upgrade was offered separately at a cost. Should you be using this make sure a real good charge is on that battery first.

• If you have any comments please feel free to leave them here.

Some automatic breadmakers have a place for inserting batteries.

The intent is to create a memory back-up for two things:

1: The digitally-displayed clock setting, and
2: Personalized program settings you save to the machine to perform again later.

Now you're not required to install or replace the batteries in your breadmaker unless you desire these settings to be maintained long after the breadmaker is unplugged.

And, if you do decide to install or replace the batteries be certain to use alkaline-grade or better.

But be forewarned though: Breadmaker clocks don't adjust for DST (Daylight Saving Time)

Hope this helps!

A search of the Fujifilm website provided no answers. Try cleaning the battery contacts in the camera first with a pencil eraser and then with a cotton swab lightly dampened with rubbing alcohol. Also, I would switch to 3 or 4 sets of rechargeable batteries. That way, you always have a fresh set ready and you'll save money in the long run.

Are you using Lithium batteries?

I have seen other brand digital cameras do the same thing with new alkaline batteries.

Lithium batts are more expensive, but they outlast several sets of alkalines, so they actually end up costing less, compared to usage.

Try using alkaline batteries - they last longer. Are you still having the same problem now?

I ran into the "change batteries" problem once, and I'm pretty sure it happened because I left the camera in my unheated basement and then tried to use it in a warm room. The problem had absolutely NOTHING to do with the actual batteries: I tried multiple good sets, including brand new alkalines. I can think of 3 possible explanations, starting with the least likely: there could be a component or multiple components that are particularly sensitive to temperature. Note that you can take a room temperature camera outside in zero degrees and it will take many minutes, if not hours, for the internal stuff to get really cold. Thermal shifts cause different materials to expand or contract at different rates. It's possible that the change in temperature when going from one environment to another messes with alignment or electrical contacts: when things get back to equilibrium, problem goes away. Most likely: condensation. Something was unhappy internally until the condensation dried up, then the camera was happy again. I only had the problem once, but I don't leave the camera in the basement anymore.
