NOTE: This order form for shipments within the United States and Canada.

The basal temperature method can assist in determining and predicting maximum and minimum

fertile days, for use in planning pregnancies, and for understanding the menstrual cycle and

ovulation in women.

NOTE: Only your physician can interpret the variations in individual graphs.

WHAT IS BASAL TEMPERATURE?

Basal temperature is the lowest normal body temperature of a person immediately upon

awakening in the morning. Specifically, it is the body temperature that is measured AFTER a

restful nights sleep, but BEFORE you get out of bed, move, talk, drink, eat, smoke, etc. To

achieve the optimum basal temperature reading, it should be taken while still “half asleep” and

taken at the same time every morning upon first waking.

The use of charting basal temperature will indicate the slight body changes taking place during

the menstrual cycle (the interval between the beginning of one period and the onset of the next

period). A pattern of temperature fluctuation in the monthly cycle will develop and be noticed. The

slight increase in basal temperature indicates ovulation or fertility by which a pattern of activity to

either achieve conception or avoid pregnancy can be regulated.

Although, the generally accepted “normal” oral temperature of a healthy person is 98.60

o

F

(37.00

o

C), the basal oral temperature in the first part of a cycle is usually in a range between

96.50

o

F (35.80

o

C) and 98.00

o

F (36.70

o

C). In approximately the last two weeks of the cycle, the

basal temperature is typically 0.50

o

F (0.30

o

C) higher

.

NOTE: The shift from the lower to the higher

temperature occurs at around the time of ovulation.

Since ovulation (the release of an egg (ovum) from the ovary) ordinarily happens only ONCE

during each menstrual cycle, charting basal temperature can be helpful in determining if and

when ovulation occurs. If intercourse takes place at or near this time, during the interval of the

transition between low and high temperature level, conception can take place.

NOTE: 1. It is important to carefully record basal temperature upon first awakening.

2. Normal temperature varies according to the location of the temperature reading.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Before and after each use, clean the area that extends about 2” from the tip of the thermometer

with a soft cloth and isopropyl alcohol diluted with water, or wash with COLD soapy water.

NOTE: 1. The use of any other solution or cleaning method beyond the above mentioned

may result in reliability problems with the thermometer

.

2.

Do not let water or any solution penetrate the thermometer’s display window,

battery cover or back cover

.

HOW TO T

AKE YOUR ORAL BASAL TEMPERATURE

1. Press the on-off power button. A “beep” tone will sound and for

2 seconds the window will display 188.88

0

E. This indicates that the unit is

in proper working condition.

2. After the 2 seconds, the last measured temperature will display for about

3 seconds. NOTE: Lo

0

F will display if no temperature higher than 89.60

0

F

was measured during the previous use.

3.

After the display of the last measured reading, the unit will perform a

self

-calibration and display 97.70

0

F for about one second.

4. The unit is ready to start measuring and displays the measured

temperature, with the symbol

0

F flashing. If the existing temperature is

below 89.60

0

F

, the display will show Lo

0

F

. If the measured temperature is

over 109.40

0

F

, the display will show Hi

0

F

.

5.

Place the thermometer probe tip under your tongue as near as

possible to the heat pocket as illustrated in the diagram.

* The heat pocket locations are identified at the base of the

tongue on the floor of the mouth.

6. Hold thermometer in the same spot under your tongue with

mouth closed for approximately one minute or until the

temperature is stabilized.

7. When the peak temperature is reached or temperature stabilizes

the

0

F symbol will stop flashing and 4 beep tones will sound.

8. Avoid pressing the on-off switch while carefully removing the thermometer. Record the

temperature result on the appropriate chart.

9. Press the on-off button to turn off the power. If the thermometer is inadvertently left on, the

power will automatically turn off within approximately 16 minutes once the temperature has

stabilized.

1.

The thermometer should only be used under the supervision of an adult.

2. Do not bend, drop or attempt to disassemble the basal thermometer.

3. Do not run, walk or talk during temperature taking.

It is suggested that the battery be removed, if the thermometer will not be used for a long

time.

12.

If ERR displays and measurement is not attainable, the unit must be replaced.

13.

Replace the battery when the “ ” symbol displays.

NOTE: P

erformance of the device may be degraded if: operated outside of stated temperature

and humidity range; stored outside of stated temperature and humidity range; thermometer

undergoes mechanical shock (drop); patient temperature is below ambient temperature.

HOW TO REPLACE THE BATTERY

The battery needs to be replaced when the “ ” symbol appears in the display window

. Replace

with one 1.55V button size battery

, LR41 type or equivalent.

1. A small Phillips-head screwdriver will be required to remove the battery

cover as shown in the diagram.

2.

Use a toothpick or insulated probe to remove the battery as

illustrated in the following diagram. Do not use a sharp metal

object while attempting to remove the battery.

3. Insert the new battery making sure that the battery polarity is

correctly placed.

NOTE: The battery should be inserted with the positive side (+) facing up and the negative side (-)

facing down.

4.

Replace and securely fasten the cover.

WARNING: DO NOT swallow a button battery. DO NOT dispose battery in or near fire. DO NOT
