Page 12: Operating The Unit
Important user information To ensure correct functioning of cyclotest® myWay, it is essential that you perform the morning meas- urements of wake-up temperature before getting up and before any activity without changing ambi- ent conditions. -
Page 13: Measuring Temperature

Page 14: Main Menu
In this case, please measure again and remove the sensor only when you have heard the signal tone. cyclotest® myWay takes care of everything else in the background. The measured temperature, your fertility status and much more information are then automatically displayed in your personal day chart (see below). - Page 15 01.08.2014 01.08.2014 01.08.2014 Operating the Unit 01.08.2014 Date 2014 non-fertile Temperature Cycle day How to read the day chart: 36,54 °C 01.08.2014 Time 29.08. 01.08.2014 Prognosis menstruation unfruchtbar Temperatur Zyklustag 17.08.
