Braun Thermoscan C to F instructions

So I'm trying to move our thermometer back to Fahrenheit after it mysteriously got changed to Celsius. There is only one button so I sit there and guess all the possible combinations based on previous computer experience. No luck, so I broke down and read the online manual, which has an actual section on the problem. I tried the instructions and they immediately fail. I give up and just figure I'm going to have to convert it in my head. I kept trying variations of the instructions given. Finally I accidentally came upon a combination that works. Here's how it actually works for my own future reference:

Turn off the units power. Hold the power down until the C turns to a F. Let go of the power button when the F appears on the display.

It was all fixed after that. The company instructions make it out that you can do it from inside the display when it's on, but every time I held down the power button it turned the unit off or put it in memory mode. I have no idea why the instructions were written incorrectly, but they were.
