Tempdrop Sensor Quick Start Guide
Setting up your Tempdrop sensor
- Slide the band in a 'walking' motion up your arm.
- Feel for the soft dip between the muscles just below the armpit hairline.
- Move the band up and position the sensor over the soft dip.
- Once in position, the sensor's tip should be pointing towards the elbow.
- Ensure the band is firm but still comfortable.
- If the band needs adjusting, slide it off and move the hooks.
- Once your sizing is correct, leave it hooked and slide it on and off daily.
Tips
- Ensure the tip of the sensor is facing your elbow.
- Your armband must be comfortably tight to maintain adequate skin contact overnight with minimal movement. If the sensor moves, it can lead to poor-quality readings.
Using your Tempdrop sensor
Note: Do not pair the sensor with your phone through Bluetooth settings. Wear the sensor overnight and then sync through the app.
Place the Tempdrop on your arm and adjust the position. Go to sleep- leaving it on all night. A minimum of three hours of wearing time and two hours of sleep time is required for a valid result. Sleep does not have to be consecutive.
Tips
- The Tempdrop sensor must be turned on before each use.
- Keep it on all night, even if your sleep is interrupted (i.e. going to the bathroom or caring for baby).
- You can sync as soon as it's removed from the arm or set it aside to sync at a more convenient time.
- Recorded data will remain stored on the sensor until it's synced using the app.
- The sensor can hold several nights of data between syncs (Original model 3 nights and Tempdrop 2.0 up to 7 nights); however, syncing daily is best practice.
Syncing and viewing your results
Open the Tempdrop app and press 'Sync Tempdrop'.
Tips
- One night's data will take around 10 seconds to sync (Original model up to 30 seconds).
- You can use Wi-Fi or phone data to sync.
- The sensor can hold a maximum of 60hrs recording time (Original model stores only 24 hrs) between syncs. Over recording can lead to lost data. Sync daily whenever possible as best practice.
Important information
Before using this product, please read the following.
Tempdrop is a wearable sleeping temperature thermometer and charting app for use along with a Symptothermal Method of Fertility Awareness (STM) to track your Menstrual cycle.
Following the directions will help prevent incorrect use of the product.
We recommend giving Tempdrop up to 30 days to ensure you are wearing the sensor properly, that everything is settled, and readings are as optimal as possible. If you are already tracking your basal body temperature (BBT), you can continue to do so for a time to validate that Tempdrop’s readings correlate with your regular thermometer cycle chart. It’s normal for Tempdrop results to be slightly higher or lower than oral readings.
Alcohol consumption, medications, and various medical conditions may alter your sleeping temperature.
If you have any concerns about your results or the Tempdrop app interpretation, please Contact Us for troubleshooting help.
