When the test strip and the
flashing blood drop symbols are
displayed:
Remove the test strip from the
meter.
The test strip and blood drop
symbols flash afterwards on the
display. Now you have approx.
20 seconds to apply blood to the
test strip and to slide it into the
meter again. During the last 5
seconds, a beep sounds once per
second. It is to remind you to
slide the test strip moistened
with blood back into the meter. If
you do not slide the test strip
back into the meter within this
time, the meter displays the error
message .
Apply the blood drop to the
centre of the green field.
Lance the side of a fingertip with
your lancing device.
Figure
A
shows the
recommended sites for obtaining
