INSTRUCTION MANUAL
I. WHAT IS A BASAL TEMPERATURE?
A basal temperature is the normal body temperature of a healthy person at rest. For optimum accuracy, your basal temperature should be taken
at the same time every morning upon waking. Changes in basal temperature are related to changes in the female reproductive cycle. By taking
your basal temperature daily and charting it, you can notice slight changes and patterns. Charting of your basal temperature, in addition
to other information, can help you understand your menstrual cycle and ovulation. Temperatures typically rise (about 1.0ºF (0.6ºC)
within a day or so after ovulation, and are the result of heat-inducing hormone, progesterone. Recording and interpreting basal
temperature changes is called the “Basal Temperature Method” (BTM).
The Basal Temperature Method can be used to help in family planning. Charting of temperature and prediction of ovulation can be used
to time sexual intercourse during fertile days to aid in increasing the likelihood of pregnancy.

DATE PURCHASED: ________________________
Staple your purchase receipt here.
The thermometer you purchased offers a safe, accurate and quick temperature reading. Select oral, vaginal or rectal as your measurement site
based on professional recommendation. No need to worry about broken glass or mercury hazards. Your temperature is affected by smoking,
eating or drinking. Read this instruction manual completely before using your Omron MC-301 Basal Thermometer.
We recommend you practice taking your temperature with the thermometer. This way you will be confident in your technique when using the
thermometer. Contact your doctor if you have any questions regarding specific temperatures.
This product is intended for home use only.
II. CHARTING YOUR BASAL TEMPERATURE
By charting your basal temperature daily, you can see a pattern and notice the changes that occur in every ovulation cycle. You can record
your daily basal temperature on the enclosed charts. Keeping a charted record for at least three months will usually provide the information
you need to determine your approximate day of ovulation during a regular menstrual cycle. Keep both the Omron
®Basal Thermometer and
Temperature Tracking Chart at your bedside for your convenience.
III. HOW TO TAKE ACCURATE BASAL TEMPERATURES
To obtain an accurate basal temperature, you must take your temperature when you first awake in the morning. For best results, this waking
temperature should be taken at the same time each morning. Since any activity may tend to raise your temperature, do not get out of bed until
you have taken your basal temperature. Postpone going to the bathroom, eating, smoking or drinking until after taking your basal temperature.
Cold drinks lower mouth temperature; hot drinks, smoking and exercise cause higher readings. Using an electric blanket or heating pad
can affect your basal temperature. If you use one, it should be kept at the same setting each night throughout the time you are taking your
basal temperature.
SHOULD I USE THE ORAL, VAGINAL OR RECTAL METHOD?
Since temperatures taken at different sites can vary, it is important to select one method and then take your temperature the same way everyday.
You must use either the oral, vaginal or rectal method. Using more than one method will provide inaccurate results,
IV. TAKING YOUR BASAL TEMPERATURE
Select oral, vaginal or rectal as your measurement based on professional recommendation.
ORAL METHOD
Place a probe cover carefully over the tip, (figure 1).
Push the on/off button to turn unit on. Hold the button down to recall the last measured temperature. The thermometer will beep and the
display will read: ''188.8 ° F'' This is a function check indicating the unit is working properly. Next, the thermometer will read L°F.
The °F symbol will flash continuously when the unit is ready to measure temperature. Please note that the “ ” indicates a low battery. See
instructions for replacing the battery before measuring temperature. Do not expect an accurate temperature reading if this low battery
indicator is present. An “ERR” message in the window indicates your unit is not functioning properly.
Do not drink hot or cold fluids, exercise, smoke, or perform other activities that will raise or lower temperature
readings when compared to your normal, average temperature. The mouth should remain closed up to 5 minutes before
attempting a reading.
❑ ✔Place the sensor tip well under the tongue as indicated by the “ “ (figure 2).
The peak temperature should be reached in approximately 60 seconds. Opening the mouth or improper placement of
the probe tip could result in a longer time for a reading.
When the peak temperature is reached, the °F symbol will stop flashing, and the thermometer will beep repeatedly.
Please note: It is not necessary to hear the beep to ensure the peak temperature has been reached. When the °F symbol stops
flashing and the display reads a consistent temperature, the peak temperature has been reached.
Read and record the temperature and time for reference. The reading will automatically be stored in the memory.
Push the on/off button to turn the unit off. If you do not turn the unit off, it will shut off automatically in approximately 10 minutes.

RECTAL METHOD
Lubricate the tip of the thermometer with a water-soluble gel. Lie on your side with knees slightly bent. With one hand, gently slide the tip of
the thermometer no more than 1/2 inch into the rectum. Once used rectally, the thermometer should not be used orally for sanitary reasons.
VAGINAL METHOD
Please seek guidance from your health care professional.
V. RECORDING BASAL TEMPERATURE
Please refer to the sample recording and blank temperature tracking charts enclosed. Prepare your chart following the example. Day 1 for each
cycle is the first day of menstruation (your “Period”). Above the pre-printed days of the cycle enter corresponding calender dates. During
your menstrual flow, it is not necessary to record temperature (unless you have short cycles). Instead, mark an X in each space provide to
indicate the number of days your period lasts. Begin recording your basal temperature the first morning following the end of menstruation.
For each daily temperature, trace down the column below the cycle day until it intersects with your recorded temperature. Place a dot at the
intersection. The number on the chart represents tenths of a degree. A notation should be made for any rise in temperature due to illness, emotional
stress, or sleeplessness. Intercourse can be indicated by placing a circle around the dot of the appropriate day. Chart your readings for at
least three months in order to be sure that you have determined your approximate time of ovulation during any regular menstrual cycle.
Careful temperature recording will help establish your particular pattern. Monitoring other symptoms, such as cervical mucus changes, can
assist in determining the fertile days prior to ovulation. When temperature changes are used in conjunction with other fertility symptoms, such
as the cervical mucus, this is known as the Sympto-Thermal Method. Determination of ovulation can be used to time sexual intercourse
during fertile days to aid in the likelihood of achieving pregnancy. Completed charts should be presented to your physician or family planning
counselor, who will assist you in accurately interpreting your results.
VI. CARING FOR YOUR BASAL THERMOMETER
Wash the tip of the thermometer with warm (not hot) soapy water before and after each use. Or, wipe the area with isopropyl alcohol before
and after each use. To ensure optimum hygiene use aDigital Probe Cover” every time a temperature is taken.
CHANGING THE BATTERY
The icon will display on the screen when the battery needs replacing. Remove the battery compartment lid. Use
a Philips screwdriver to remove screw and washer. Remove battery. Use replacement button type 1.5v, SR41 or LR41
battery. Insert new battery with “+” polarity facing up. Use Philips screwdriver. Replace the screw and the “O” ring
washer back to the original position. Replace the battery compartment lid.
WARNING: KEEP BATTERY OUT OF CHILD’S REACH. SWALLOWING BATTERY COULD BE
HARMFUL. BATTERY SHOULD NOT BE CHARGED OR PLACED INTO EXTREME HEAT AS IT MAY EXPLODE.
VII. THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE CYCLE
In order to understand the Basal Temperature Method it is helpful to review the basics of human female reproductive activity.
A. THE ROLE HORMONES PLAY IN OVULATION
At the beginning of each menstrual cycle, the pituitary gland secretes a hormone (FSH or Follicle Stimulating Hormone), that acts upon the
ovaries to prepare for ovulation. As one or more follicles in an ovary prepare for ovulation, they secrete another hormone called estrogen,
that prepares the uterus for pregnancy by causing the inner lining of the uterus to thicken. Estrogen also causes some glands in the cervix to
secrete a mucus discharge that is necessary for fertility. This mucus changes the environment in the vagina to make it more favorable to
sperm life and provides a medium in which the sperm move upward into the uterus. The mucus typically starts as a sticky substance. During
the time of fertility, it becomes more liquid and plentiful usually attaining a consistency very similar to raw egg whites. Sometimes the mucus
becomes so watery that it will no longer stretch like raw egg whites, but continues to produce sensations of lubrication or wetness at the outer
lips of the vagina.
