IMPORTANT: Use only the calibrator that is packaged in
the box of test strips you are using.
Do not use test strips that have expired. Check the
expiration date on the test strip foil packet and test strip
box. If only the year and month are shown, the expiration
date is the last day of the month.

Remove the glucose or β-Ketone calibrator package
from the new box of test strips.

package. Peel the clear cover away from
the three raised bumps.

Hold the calibrator (white for glucose and
purple for blood β-Ketone) with the LOT
number facing you.

Insert the calibrator into the strip
port. Push it in until it stops.
The Display Check shows on the
