Computerized Basal Body Thermometer (BBT)
1. Starting your first cycle
IMPORTANT: You can begin using the ibasal as soon as you receive it to familiarize yourself
with the process. The ibasal considers your first cycle to be a practice cycle and does not
calculate fertility predictions or your average temperature. Please note, however, that you can
still input your basal temperatures at OvaGraph.com during this first cycle and interpret them
manually. To begin taking your temperature, remove the protective film. Set date, time and
alarm so you can begin use the next day.
When you remove the protective film, the ibasal will automatically mark today as
cycle day 1. Please note: it is okay if the cycle day on the ibasal does not correctly
match with your actual cycle day. When you start your next cycle, follow the
instructions in the section called “Starting your second cycle.”
2. Getting ready to use the ibasal
Turn the device over and pull off the battery cover.
Pull and remove the cellophane protection film to turn
on the device. You will hear a beep and the display will
appear in the display window. Once the ibasal is
powered on, it will stay on.
Inserting the battery
If the display does not appear, press the Reset button
or take out the battery once and insert it again.

The average temperature is used to detect the high and low phase, which is preprogrammed to 97.7 degrees Fahrenheit until the end of your second cycle. From the third cycle
on, the device begins displaying your actual average temperature, which is calculated from the previous data. The average temperature will vary for all women. When you skip
readings for a few days, or when the difference between the high and the low phase is unclear or too small, the device may not be able to calculate the average temperature.
Please make sure to take your temperature daily.
Temperatures under 93.2 degrees Fahrenheit are not recorded. Temperatures above 99.5 degress Fahrenheit are recorded but disregarded in calculating the average
temperature. This is to avoid mis-calculation of a possible fever or illness. The temperature graph might show the low phase only or the high phase only when the average
temperature is not calculated.

least four hours of sleep and prior to any physical activity, eating, or drinking, etc. During the first
two weeks or so of your menstrual cycle, your BBT remains lower. Just after ovulation, the
increased production of progesterone causes your BBT to increase and this change will typically
last through the duration of the menstrual cycle. By monitoring when this temperature change
occurs, you can determine when ovulation has taken place. In the adjacent graphs, the low phase
refers to before and during ovulation. The high phase refers to your basal temperature rise after
ovulation.

Phases
The phases will appear beginning with your second
cycle. When a possible pregnancy is detected
(heart symbol), the ibasal will not show a phase
number. If the ibasal cannot detect the low and high
phase, number 3 will remain on the display.
The battery lasts for approximately 9 months. When the battery is low, symbol will appear.

The ibasal requires a CR2032 battery. Using any other battery may cause a malfunction.
Keep the battery out of the reach of children. If swallowed accidentally, please consult
your doctor immediately. Do not recharge, short-circuit, disassemble, heat or throw the
battery in fire. We are not responsible for deleted data due to a dead battery or other
causes. We recommend that you use the data check function to take note of the data
periodically.
The ibasal will function normally for 4 days after the low battery symbol appears. Only
the clock display will show from the 5th to 8th day. After the 8th day, none of the display
will function properly. Please change the battery within 3 days of the alert. The stored
data does not disappear when you change the battery. The calendar function does stop
when changing the battery - please reset the date and time after replacing the battery.
The battery included has been used for inspection and may not last the full 9 months.
WARNING
This process will delete all your saved data. Once the ibasal is reset, set the clock, date and alarm time to start using the unit.

CAUTION
Do not disassemble or drop the device.
Avoid getting the ibasal wet. When cleaning
the unit, rinse only the temperature probe.
Keep ibasal away from humidity, direct
sunlight and sudden changes in temperature.
Insert a new battery within 3 days after the
battery symbol appears.
Keep the device away from children.
This device is intended to measure the basal
body temperature (BBT) only. Never use the
ibasal for any other purpose.
Take your BBT every morning to ensure your
fertility status is accurate.
This device is intended to help you pinpoint
your fertile window. If you suspect you are
pregnant, please consult with your doctor.
