How to use the reader
If you are away from your computer and therefore unable to launch your DuoFertility
software, you can enter additional information directly onto the reader as well. You
can interact with the reader by using the scroll wheel and the central button. The
different icons which appear along the edge of the reader indicate the different
functions that are available, and the light scale is used to display your fertility status.
In order to find out how to read your fertility status on the reader, please turn to
page 26.
How to switch the reader ON and OFF
To switch the reader on, hold the central button (for approximately 1 second until
the reader beeps). The DuoFertility icon will flash white, indicating that the reader
is ready to be used.
The reader turns itself off automatically; after about a minute, the reader icons will
not be lit, indicating that the reader is off.
How to select an icon
To select an icon on the reader, start by running your finger or thumb anti-clockwise
around the scroll wheel and the icons will light up one by one, in white. When an
icon is lit in solid white, you can select it by pressing the central button. The icon
will then flash to indicate that it is waiting for you to enter further information. The
reader will beep each time an icon is selected.
After you have entered information into your reader, that icon will light up in purple
as you continue to scroll through the other icons on the reader. If you scroll back
to that icon, the reader light scale will automatically display the information that
you entered for that icon. If you wish, you can edit this information and correct any
mistakes that you made.
When the reader turns itself off automatically, this marks the end of a session; when
you turn your reader back on again, the icons that you previously entered will no
longer show up in purple, and that data can now only be edited by running the
software.
