Start with the first day of menstruation.
Taking your basal body temperature reliably every
morning is one of the key elements of our system.
The basal body temperature is the temperature im-
mediately after waking up, before getting up, before
becoming active in any way. The more regularly you
take your temperature, particularly at the beginning,
the faster the device gets to know your personal cycle.
Place the temperature sensor under your tongue right
at the back, either to the left or the right, and close
your mouth. While taking your temperature, the tem-
perature sensor should not be moved.

Tips for taking your temperature
Lady-Comp wakes you up with the alarm. Press the key to turn the
alarm off. To take your temperature, press the key again. The “thermom-
eter” symbol is blinking; Lady-Comp is ready to take your temperature.
– Now place the sensor under your tongue and close your mouth.
– It will take about 60 seconds to take your temperature. If no temperature
can be taken after 3 minutes the process is automatically terminated.
– The display will show temperature reading values between 34.5 to
41.0 degrees Celsius or 94.20 to 105.00 degrees Fahrenheit.
– If your temperature value is above 37.8 �C or 99.9 �F, the tempera-If your temperature value is above 37.8 �C or 99.9 �F, the tempera-
ture display alternates with the letter “F” for fever.
– When finishing the temperature reading, you hear a signal tone and
the ascertained temperature reading value appears on the display.
Your fertility is displayed for that day.
Good to know:
Temperature reading time period
The temperature reading time limit is the time during which you
can perform the daily temperature measurement. Lady-Comp moni-
tors the daily temperature measuring time period. The temperature
measuring time period is generally independent of the alarm and is
calculated from the time you took your temperature previously (+/- 3
hours). The temperature measuring time period comprises 6 hours
and begins and ends three hours before and after the last tempera-
ture measuring time if this is different from the alarm time.
Tips for temperature reading time period:
– You can identify the reading time period from the illuminated thermometer symbol on the home screen.
– During the temperature reading time period, pressing any key will start a temperature reading.
– We recommend that you allow Lady-Comp to wake you up.
– If you wake up during the temperature reading time period, i.e. to look after your child, take your
temperature.
– If you wake up after the temperature reading time period then don’t take your temperature.
– You may reset the temperature reading time period at any point by changing the alarm time (i.e. on
weekends or for shift work).
If your temperature is not taken over a three-day period, then the temperature reading time period is cleared, and the temperature can be
taken the next day only by activating the alarm. The temperature measuring time period will then be set by the alarm time (+/- 3 hours).
Important:
Please confirm “M” on at least three consecutive days.
If you have “M” without being asked by the device,
activate “M” as described. If you have accidentally
entered “M”, you may return to “M” to edit it for the
past three days.

After taking your temperature, it is possible that the “M” for menstruation
will blink.
– To confirm “M” press the key up for Yes.
– To not confirm “M” press the key down for No.
Once Lady-Comp knows your cycle, the device will ask you about “M” on
the days that menstruation is expected.
– It begins to ask (“M” blinking) two days before menstruation is expected.
– When “M” is done, Lady-Comp will stop asking for “M”.

When not to take your temperature
Lady-Comp uses its knowledge of your cycle and
available temperature values to calculate the future
cycle course and resulting from this, the fertility.
Increases in temperature due to flu, lack of sleep,
excess alcohol consumption and/or medication
with thermal effect are “abnormal” and will be rec-
ognized by the device as such. In general, it is rec-
ommended to cancel the daily temperature mea-
surement in case of a fever, when taking medication,
or after a night of partying, so as not to enter too
many “abnormal” temperatures into the device.
Fever display
If your temperature value is above 37.8 �C or 99.9 �F, the temperature display alternates with
the letter “F” for fever. Fever is recorded, however, the fever temperature value is not included
in the fertility calculation.

perature mesuring time period.
The device displays your temperature and your fertility for the day; this
data is valid for 24 hours, and accurate from the very first day. The number
of “green” days increases cautiously and systematically, while the “red”
days are narrowed down. The Pearl Index is calculated as 0.7 (99.3%)
from the first day on. If the device has not received any input for a longer
period of time, or receives information that it cannot evaluate, the
number of “yellow” days increases.

This menu shows you the possible conception
date and possible date of birth of your planned
baby. First it will be a prediction and will blink
from your 4th cycle day on. This prediction is
derived from the expected ovulation day within
your cycle. After ovulation is confirmed the blink-
ing stops and the display stays illuminated. When
inputting “SI”, a gender prediction will appear.
Restart after pregnancy
In the first weeks after birth you will not be fertile.
We recommend resuming your temperature
measurement six weeks after birth. At first
Lady-Comp baby shows “yellow”. Slight fluc-
tuations in temperature indicate that the normal
cycle is re-establishing itself. Lady-Comp baby
will then begin to show the calculated fertility.

Loss of data
There is no risk of losing your data, even if the
batteries are depleted.
After the pill
(or hormonal contraception)
Prior to starting Lady-Comp, you must stop taking
any form of hormonal contraception. The first
bleeding after stopping hormonal contraception
is not a menstruation, but a hormone-conditioned
withdrawal bleeding. Do not enter “M” for this
bleeding.
Pearl-Index
The Pearl Index is the value by which the safety
of a contraceptive method is specified in medi-
cine. The daily fertility displays of Lady-Comp
have a Pearl Index of 0.7 or to explain it more
easy of 99.3%.
Example:
If 100 women use contraception for one year and
one of them becomes pregnant, this corresponds
to a Pearl Index of 1.0.
Program
The program is based on all natural family planning
research data. It contains a database of more then
1 million cycles and uses biomathematical forecast-
ing calculations as well as the very latest computer
techniques. The more regularly you measure, the
faster the device gets to know and interpret your
individual cycle. It will show more and more green
days (infertile) and the red days will decrease
(fertile days) as the device learns your individual
rhythm. Depending on your individual cycle pattern
you will have between 7 and 12 red days per cycle.
Prognosis
Our displays in relation to ovulation and planning
are calculated prognoses. Once a menstrual cycle
is completed and a new one begins with menstru-
ation, Lady-Comp will confirm day of ovulation
retrospectively. The confirmed ovulation day will
be recognized after the 4th cycle day of your next
menstrual cycle.
Travel and time zones
When travelling in different time zones you have
the ability to change the date and time to the
local time. Set and activate the alarm to the desired
new reading time. Lady-Comp will be ready to
take your measurement the next morning. Repeat
the procedure when you return home.
Summer and winter time
Set the time forward or backward in summer or
in winter, as described on page 9.
Shift work
Set and activate the alarm to the desired new
reading time. Let the alarm tone wake you up the
next morning and take your measurement as
usual. Proceed likewise at the next shift change.
Restart after interruption in use
The time, date, and year continues to work auto-
matically. The measurement period is disabled
when you don’t take your temperature and needs
to be reset by activating the alarm clock. You do
this by setting the alarm for the next morning
(before midnight) continue as usual.

does not automatically restart, please remove the
batteries and reinsert them. If you want to make
a data transfer via USB, check the function of the
connecting cable. USB communication is only
possible with those devices that allow connec-
tion to a USB mass storage device with FAT data
file system. This applies for example to PCs run-
ning Windows or Linux, and many other devices.

Error message/bootloader error
(120-1)
If a software update is canceled and the program
has not been fully resaved (i.e. dead battery) this
error message will appear. The number after the
dash will indicate the exact cause of the error.
Error message:
120-2 to 120-7 inclusive, please contact tech-
nical support.
Action:
The bootloader is able to reprogram the device
even without a utilization program. To do this,
insert the micro SD update card and the batteries
into the device. The bootloader will first erase
the program memory and then reinstall the
update. You can follow the progress on the indi-
cator bar. Make sure that you use fully charged
batteries for the update, so that the process can
be completed.
M input: check (111-10)
If the device has not taken any temperature
measurements or M input for a long period of
time (4 days) and a new cycle start is expected
during this time, it will remind the user to enter
any possibly forgotten data retroactively.
Action:
– Activate M retroactively.
