The flashing test strip symbol is your cue to insert the test strip in the
meter.
P Take a test strip from the container and close the container again
immediately.
P Hold the test strip so the arrows printed on it are uppermost and
pointing towards the test strip guide.
P Without bending it, gently push the test strip into the test strip guide
until you feel it engage.
After that a flashing blood drop symbol is displayed and the test strip
symbol stops flashing. When the beep tone is turned on, the meter
beeps at this point. The meter is ready to perform a blood glucose test.
If you wish to test blood glucose now, proceed to Chapter 5.3.
