Thank you for purchasing the ConairCare Infrared Ear
Thermometer (ITH94F). This product features the latest
technology and has been tested according to interna-
tional medical device standards. It has been cleared by
the FDA for home and professional use. The thermome-
ter’s unique technology enables stable and accurate
measurements every time. This product is designed
specifically to monitor body temperature for use at
home or in clinical settings.
Please read the instruction manual carefully and keep it
in a safe place for reference.
INDICATIONS FOR USE
The ITH94F is a non-sterile, reusable, clinical electron-
ic thermometer that uses an infrared sensor to detect
human body temperature on people of all ages for
home and professional use.
WARNINGS & PRECAUTIONS
Never use the thermometer for purposes other than
those it has been intended for.
The use of this thermometer is not intended as a sub-
stitute for a consultation with your healthcare provider.
If you are concerned about your health, please see
your physician. Elevated temperature may signal a
serious illness, especially in older individuals, people
with compromised immune systems, and infants.
In order to properly diagnose an elevated temperature,
it is important to know an individual’s normal body
temperature. We suggest taking several readings
when the person is healthy to set a baseline for their
normal temperature.
Infrared thermometers cannot be used to diagnose
COVID-19 or other illnesses. Infrared thermometers
can identify individuals with higher than average body
temperatures compared to a sample population. Only
a medical professional can determine whether an
individual is experiencing an abnormal medical
condition or illness.
Note that an abnormal medical condition may be
present even when an individual does not show a
fever. When in doubt, consult your physician.
Follow general safety guidelines when using this
thermometer on children. Do not allow children to take
their temperature unattended. This is not a toy. Do not
use this thermometer on children less than 3 months
of age.
Do not immerse this thermometer in water or other
liquids. Follow the instructions in the “Cleaning and
Maintenance” section to clean and disinfect the
thermometer.
The device is made of precision parts. Do not disman-
tle, re-assemble or modify the thermometer in any
way. Do not drop the thermometer and protect it from
strong impacts.
Do not use this thermometer if the sensor is broken.
If the device is broken, do not attempt to repair it
yourself. Contact the customer service center.
Do not use this thermometer in the presence of flam-
mable anesthetic mixtures with air or with oxygen or
nitrous oxide. CAUTION
Keep the device away from direct sunlight. Store in a
dry and dust-free environment, ideally within a storage
temperature range of 4˚F to 131˚ F (-20˚C to 55˚C).
Before taking temperature readings, please make sure
the sensor surface is clean. If there is visible dust or
dirt, you may clean the surface with a cotton swab
dipped in rubbing alcohol before using the device.
After cleaning the sensor head with alcohol, it is
recommended to not use the device for a few minutes
until the alcohol evaporates and the sensor head
returns to its normal temperature. We suggest
cleaning the thermometer sensor after each use to
ensure measurement accuracy and to avoid potential
cross-contamination.
To make sure the measurement result is accurate,
wait at least 30 seconds after each measurement
before you measure again.
Because babies are slower at adapting to temperature
changes in the environment, if drastic temperature
changes are observed, it is best to wait a few minutes
in the same environment, until the baby’s body tem-
perature becomes stable, before taking any tempera-
ture readings to ensure the most accurate results.
It is recommended to take 3 temperature readings
and reference the highest recorded measurement for
babies between 3 months to 3 years of age and for
first-time users of the device.
Do not add a protective sleeve to the sensor, as that
may affect the accuracy of the measurement.
The device requires no calibration.
Remove batteries if the thermometer is not likely to be
used for some time.
The user must check that the equipment functions
safely and see that it is in proper working condition
before use.
Do not operate the product out of operating conditions
or out of the operating temperature range, as it may
cause measurement value anomalies or malfunction.
HOW THE THERMOMETER WORKS
This thermometer detects infrared energy radiated
from the skin and tissue in the ear canal. This ther-
mometer has been tested and proven to be safe and
accurate when used as directed in this instruction
manual. This device has settings that alert you to a
temperature above normal.
Normal temperature varies from person to person, by
age, and even by time of day and activity. It is best to
establish a “normal” temperature range for each user
of the thermometer while the person is feeling well.
We suggest taking readings in the morning and in the
late afternoon and averaging them to get a “normal”
temperature. Record that temperature so you can use
it to compare against temperatures measured for that
person when they are not feeling well. Note that
normal body temperatures tend to decrease with age.
The ConairCare Thermometer features a temperature
alert setting: It will beep to alert you to a low-grade
fever and to a high-grade fever.
Generally, temperatures in the range of
96.4˚F - 99.4˚F (35.8˚C - 37.4˚C) are considered
normal; temperatures between 99.5˚F - 101.3˚F
(37.5˚C - 38.5˚C) are considered a light fever and
temperatures over 101.3˚F (38.5˚C) are considered
a high-grade fever.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR THERMOMETER
SETTING UP YOUR THERMOMETER
Push the power button on the thermometer to turn on
the device. If the thermometer display does not light
up, open the battery door on the bottom of the handle
and make sure the batteries are correctly installed
with respect to polarity. Close the battery door and
press the button again. The display will light up.
SELECTING FAHRENHEIT OR CELSIUS
With the thermometer turned off, press and hold the
SCAN/M button for 5 seconds. The thermometer will
display the current measurement units (˚F or ˚C) on
the screen. Press the SCAN/M button again to switch
to the other measurement units. The thermometer will
turn off after a few seconds.
BEFORE TAKING A
TEMPERATURE READING
Ear wax residue may lead to inaccurate low
temperature readings, so it is recommended to clean
the ear prior to using the thermometer.
Wait at least 30 minutes after strenuous exercise to
take your temperature.
Take the temperature in a room that does not have
significant changes in airflow, such as a room with
large fans and air conditioners. Do not take your
temperature near heat sources, such as radiators or
heat registers.
The body’s temperature adapts to the environment.
Allow at least 20 minutes to adjust to room tempera-
ture if a person is entering a room that is significantly
warmer or cooler than the room they were in
previously.
MEASURING EAR TEMPERATURE
Press the power button to turn on the device. The unit
will beep and segments of the screen will be shown
for one second, the screen will turn blue, and the last
measurement taken will be displayed.
When the thermometer is ready to take a reading, you
will see 000.0 on the screen and you will hear another
beep. Remove the clear cap from the sensor probe
and keep it in a safe place. Straighten the ear canal
by gently pulling the middle of the ear back and up.
Place the probe firmly into the
ear canal, and press the
SCAN/M button. You will hear
one short beep. Keep the probe
in the ear until the thermometer
emits a longer beep to signal the
completion of the measurement.
Replace the protective cover.
Note: To keep measurements consistent, we suggest
that you always take the temperature in the same ear
and insert the device to a similar depth.
FEVER ALERTS
When the measured temperature exceeds a preset
level, the thermometer will beep to alert you to a
fever.
1. Low-level fever
When a low-level fever is detected (99.5˚F - 101.3˚F
or 37.5˚C - 38.5˚C), the thermometer will emit a
slower double beep to alert you.
2. High-level fever
When a high-grade fever is detected (101.3˚F/
38.5˚C or above), the device will emit a faster triple
beep to alert you to a high fever.
STORED READING RECALL
With the thermometer off, press the SCAN/M button.
The memory icon (M in an oval) will flash on screen.
Once in recall mode, press the SCAN/M button and
the display will show the number of the stored
reading and then the temperature recorded. Press the
SCAN/M button consecutively, until you have seen all
recorded readings (up to 32), after which the
thermometer will go back to displaying the initial
reading.
AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN
This thermometer is equipped with a battery-saving
automatic shutdown feature: After 20 seconds with-
out any user action, the thermometer will power
down. You can turn it back on by simply pushing the
power button on the handle.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
This product uses 2 AAA alkaline batteries (included).
When the thermometer shows only the battery icon
on the display and the icon is flashing, it indicates
that the batteries are low and need to be replaced. To
replace the batteries, open the battery cover on the
back of the handle. Take out the old batteries and
install the new batteries, making sure the polarity is
correct (note the “+” and “-” signs). Close the battery
door and properly dispose of the batteries. If the
thermometer is not used for more than 3 months,
remove the batteries to prevent potential damage
from battery fluid.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Check whether the battery level is sufficient before
each use. If the batteries are low (display shows a
blinking battery icon), change the batteries and then
take the temperature.
Before each use, check the equipment casing for
damage. If it is damaged, do not use. The sensor
head is the most important part of the thermometer,
and the front part (sensor mirror) is fragile. Be careful
not to damage the sensor when you clean it.
Wipe device with a soft, dry cloth after each use. If
the thermometer is dirty, you may wipe the unit with
a damp cloth moistened with water or neutral
detergent, and then wipe it with a dry cloth. Avoid
getting water into the body of the thermometer so
that the internal electronic components do not
get damaged.
This thermometer features antibacterial product
protection. The antibacterial plastic has been proven
to reduce surface bacteria by up to 99.9% (tested on
E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus by an independent
third-party lab according to ISO 22196:2011).
If you are still concerned about contamination, you
may clean the thermometer with 75% alcohol before
and after use. Use only a small amount of alcohol:
Excessive amounts of alcohol can damage the
electronics of the device.
Do not use volatile oil, paint thinner, and other
chemical solvents to wipe the product.
