Checking your meter
8
P Touch the drop of solution against the tip of the test strip where the
black notch is located. The test strip draws up control solution.
P Move the control solution away from the test strip as soon as the
hourglass symbol
is displayed and the meter beeps (only when
the beep tone is turned on).
The test strip has then drawn up enough control solution, and testing
starts. The hourglass symbol
indicates that the meter is busy mea-
suring.
