What should I do if I pressed the 'm' Button by mistake?



If your period starts after the time you had chosen to press the 'm' Button then wait until the following morning. To find out more about the Testing Window click here.



You can still set your Monitor on days 2, 3 4 or 5. Don't forget - the TIME when you press the 'm' Button determines your Testing Window for the rest of that cycle, during which you must do all tests requested, using your first urine of the day. So make sure that your Testing Window is convenient for weekdays and weekend. At your chosen 'm' pressing time, hold the 'm' Button down and release it when the correct day number is shown on the Display Screen. If you are not able to set the 'm' Button during the first 5 days of your cycle, your Monitor will not have enough information to advise you on your contraception. You should wait until your next period before setting the 'm' Button. For the remainder of that cycle you should abstain from intercourse. If you choose to use a barrier contraceptive (e.g. a condom), reliability will be subject to your chosen method. If in doubt ring the PERSONA Line.



You should set it as Day 1. You must always set the 'm' Button the morning after your period begins. PERSONA understands this as Day 1.



If your Monitor is displaying Day 1 to 5 (before chosen 'm' pressing time), you can cancel the 'm' pressing. Simply press the 'm' Button for 5 seconds until the 'm' symbol disappears. The Display Screen will return to the day number of your previous cycle. Then, at the correct time, hold the 'm' Button down at your chosen 'm' pressing time and release it when the correct day number is shown on the Display Screen.
If your Monitor is on Day 5, after your chosen 'm' pressing time, or later, it is too late to cancel the 'm' pressing. You should wait until your next period before setting the 'm' Button. For the remainder of that cycle, you should abstain from intercourse. If you choose to use a barrier contraceptive, reliability will be subject to your chosen method. If in doubt, ring the PERSONA Line.



If your period starts during the night or in the morning before your chosen 'm' pressing time, you can press the 'm' Button at the time you wish that morning. Remember to make your Testing Window convenient for you to test the first urine of the day. Click here for more information on setting the 'm' Button.



Don't worry. You can cancel the 'm' Button and start again. Simply press the 'm' Button for 5 seconds until the 'm' symbol disappears. The Display Screen will then return to the correct day of your cycle.



If you would like to stop using PERSONA for a particular cycle, you can choose to miss all the tests for that cycle. You may experience a higher number of 'Red' Days when you resume use of PERSONA. Press the 'm' Button at the start of the cycle you want to stop using PERSONA to inform your Monitor of your cycle length and ignore any tests requested by your Monitor in that cycle. Although PERSONA will continue to display Green and Red Lights based on previous information in your Monitor, you should not rely on PERSONA as your method of contraception during this cycle because you have not updated the Monitor with your current information. Press the 'm' Button again at the start of your next cycle to resume use and then continue as normal. If you wish to discontinue using PERSONA for longer than one cycle, and later wish to start again, you will need to reprogramme your Monitor. Remove the batteries and store the Monitor and the batteries in a dry safe place until you are ready to use it again. You may want to save an unused Test Stick from your current stock to use when reprogramming. To find out how to reprogramme your Monitor click here.



If you have pressed the 'm' Button by mistake you must cancel it. Simply press the 'm' Button for 5 seconds until the m symbol disappears. The Display Screen will then return to the correct Day of your cycle.
