Digital Basal Thermometer (Model EBT-100B)
Features
- Backlit LCD Display: Easy to read in low light conditions.
- High Precision: Measures Basal Body Temperature (BBT) to 1/100th of a degree (e.g., 97.41°F or 36.34°C).
- Memory Recall: Stores the last 30 temperature readings.
- Switchable Units: Easily switch between Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C).
- Soft Beep: Indicates measurement completion without disturbing sleep.
- Flexible & Waterproof Tip: For comfortable and hygienic use.
- Low Battery Alert: Notifies when battery replacement is needed.

Setup
The thermometer comes with a pre-installed battery. No initial setup is required other than familiarizing yourself with the device.
Operating Instructions
- Power On: Press the power button to turn on the thermometer. The last reading will display briefly, followed by 'Lo' or the current ambient temperature.
- Select Unit (°F/°C): While the thermometer is off, press and hold the power button for approximately 3 seconds to switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
- Positioning: Place the thermometer probe firmly underneath your tongue. Keep your mouth closed throughout the measurement.
- Measurement: Breathe normally and avoid speaking, eating, drinking, or moving during the measurement. Hold the thermometer in place until you hear two short beeps, indicating the measurement is complete. This typically takes about 90 seconds for a precise reading.
- Read Result: The temperature will be displayed on the backlit LCD screen.
- Power Off: The thermometer will automatically shut off after approximately 10 minutes to conserve battery. You can also manually turn it off by pressing the power button.

Memory Recall
To recall previous readings, turn the thermometer on. The last reading will be displayed briefly. Press the power button repeatedly to cycle through the stored 30 readings.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the thermometer tip with soap and water or an alcohol swab before and after each use. Do not immerse the entire thermometer in water.
- Storage: Store the thermometer in its protective case in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Battery Replacement: When the low battery indicator appears, replace the battery with a new CR1220 lithium battery.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Inaccurate readings | Improper placement, movement during measurement, recent activity (eating, drinking, speaking). | Ensure probe is firmly under tongue, mouth closed, remain still and silent. Take measurement immediately upon waking, before any activity. |
| Display shows 'Lo' or 'Hi' | Temperature out of measurement range. | Ensure proper use and placement. If issue persists, contact support. |
| No display or faint display | Low battery. | Replace battery. |
Ovulation Test Strips
Purpose
Easy@Home Ovulation Test Strips detect the Luteinizing Hormone (LH) surge in urine, which typically occurs 24-48 hours before ovulation. Identifying this surge helps predict your most fertile days, increasing your chances of conception.

Operating Instructions
- Timing: For best results, test at the same time each day. Do not use first morning urine as LH is synthesized in your body early in the morning and may not appear in your urine until later in the day. Reduce liquid intake for about 2 hours before testing.
- Collect Urine: Collect a urine sample in a clean, dry cup.
- Perform Test: Remove the test strip from its sealed pouch. Dip the strip into the urine sample with the arrow pointing towards the urine. Do not immerse past the MAX line.
- Wait: Hold the strip in the urine for 5-10 seconds, then remove and lay it flat on a clean, dry, non-absorbent surface.
- Read Results: Read results after 5 minutes. Do not interpret results after 10 minutes.

Interpreting Results
- LH Surge (Positive): If two color bands are visible, and the test band (T) is equal to or darker than the control band (C), an LH surge is detected. Ovulation is likely to occur within 24-48 hours.
- No LH Surge (Negative): Only the control band (C) appears, or the test band (T) is lighter than the control band (C).
- Invalid: No control band appears. Repeat the test with a new strip.

Maintenance
Store unused test strips in their sealed pouches at room temperature. Do not open the pouch until you are ready to perform a test.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No lines appear | Insufficient urine, expired test, or improper procedure. | Ensure strip is dipped correctly, check expiration date, repeat with new strip. |
| Faint test line, no LH surge | Testing too early/late in cycle, diluted urine. | Adjust testing schedule, reduce fluid intake before testing. Continue testing daily. |
Pregnancy Test Strips
Purpose
Easy@Home Pregnancy Test Strips detect the presence of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in urine. hCG is produced shortly after implantation and is a reliable indicator of pregnancy. These tests can detect hCG levels as low as 25 mIU/ml within 5 minutes.

Operating Instructions
- Timing: First morning urine typically contains the highest concentration of hCG and is recommended for early pregnancy testing.
- Collect Urine: Collect a urine sample in a clean, dry cup.
- Perform Test: Remove the test strip from its sealed pouch. Dip the strip into the urine sample with the arrow pointing towards the urine. Do not immerse past the MAX line.
- Wait: Hold the strip in the urine for 5-10 seconds, then remove and lay it flat on a clean, dry, non-absorbent surface.
- Read Results: Read results after 5 minutes. Do not interpret results after 10 minutes.
Interpreting Results
- Positive (Pregnant): Two distinct color bands appear, one in the control region (C) and one in the test region (T). The intensity of the test band may vary depending on the hCG concentration.
- Negative (Not Pregnant): Only one color band appears in the control region (C). No band appears in the test region (T).
- Invalid: No control band appears. Repeat the test with a new strip.
Maintenance
Store unused test strips in their sealed pouches at room temperature. Do not open the pouch until you are ready to perform a test.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No lines appear | Insufficient urine, expired test, or improper procedure. | Ensure strip is dipped correctly, check expiration date, repeat with new strip. |
| Faint test line | Very early pregnancy, low hCG levels. | Re-test in 48-72 hours with first morning urine. Consult a doctor if concerned. |
