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.

I just took my temperature but what is actually considered a 'healthy' body temperature? Verified
This partially depends on the body part where the temperature was taken. The following can be considered healthy: Forehead 35,8 to 37,6 °C, Ear 36 to 37,8°C, rectally 36,3 to 37,8°C and orally 36 to 37,4°C.
This was helpful (952) Read moreWhat parts of the body are best to measure body temperature? Verified
This depends on the thermometer. Some thermometers are designed for use on specific parts of the body. With a regular thermometer, rectal usage is the fastest and most accurate way to measure body temperature.
This was helpful (330) Read moreFrom what temperature does a person officially have a fever? Verified
A temperature above 38°C is officially considered a fever.
