CBEFM Day 6

So today I turned it on, and it is day 6. I set it to day 5 yesterday at around the same time. Arent you supposed to test for the first time on day 6? Or is it different for everyone?

Re: CBEFM Day 6

It is different for everyone. Are you using the CBEFM for the first time? If I remember correctly initially it had me test on Day 10 for the first time but then last month it was day 8. When you see the stick icon blinking you know it's time to test.

Re: CBEFM Day 6

Ohh ok. Yes its my first time. I thought everyone tested on day 6.
Thank you!!

Re: CBEFM Day 6

I started testing on Day 10 the first time I used it.

Well it won't let you test until it asks you to. So you really can't do anything. I tell DH all the time that the CBEFM rules my life.

I am pretty sure that my first month I started testing on CD10.

Re: CBEFM Day 6

Im just worried that its not working correctly. It was my sisters. So its not brand new...but does that matter? I just put brand new batteries in it.

Re: CBEFM Day 6

Did you reset it? It might be too late this month because you are on CD6, but maybe next month you should try resetting it.

1. Remove the plastic cap from one end of a clean-unused-test-stick and snap the cap onto the other end of stick. Insert the test stick into the test stick slot of the monitor. The beveled corner on the insertion end of the stick must face in toward the monitor. THE STICK MUST SNAP INTO PLACE TO PERFORM PROPERLY. THE MONITOR SHOULD NOT BE TUNRED ON UNTIL STEP 2.

2. Press and hold the "M" button. Continue pressing the "M" button while turning the monitor on. NOTE: Do not take finger off the "M" button until these directions say to to do so in Step 5.

3. The screen will show the "remove the test stick" symbol(a flashing test stick with an arrow pointing right). Conitnue pressing "M".

4. Keep pressing the "M" button and in about 20 seconds, you will see a screen full of symbols. The screen will also display these symbols when you initially turn the montior on for the FIRST time. This indicates the memory is now cleared of all prior data.

5. Remove test stick first and then QUICKLY release your finger from the "M" button. The memory should now be cleared.

6. Your screen should display a flashing "M" and one or two dashes. If it does not, it will probably show a "1" and an "M" in a non-flashing mode. If so, you will need to repeat all steps of this process. This procedure may take several times before you successfully reset the unit to its"new" state.


7. Start using the monitor on CD 1 as per the instruction booklet.
