Section 11 Maintenance
Proper maintenance is recommended for best results.
General Cleaning
For best results, the meter should be cleaned after each day of testing.
Meter Surface
A cotton cloth can be used to clean the surface of the meter. Use a damp
cotton cloth if necessary.
A dry, soft cloth may be used to clean the LCD and the sensor area. It is
recommended that the meter be stored in the carrying case after each use.
Avoid getting liquids, residue, or control solutions in the meter through the
Device Channel, Code Chip Slot, or USB Port.
Test Device Holder
Remove the Test Device Holder by pressing in on the middle of the Test
Device Holder and sliding it out from the meter. Wipe it down with a damp
cloth or a mild detergent. Dry it with a dry, soft cloth. Slide the Test Device
Holder back into the meter by laying it flat on the meter. Firmly press down
on the two sides of the Test Device Holder with your thumb and push it in
until it clicks into place.
Note: Do not use organic solvents, such as gasoline or paint thinner.
This will cause damage to the meter.
Meter Sensor Area
Remove the Test Device Holder as described in the previous section.
Wipe down the Meter Sensor Area with a cotton swab. Do not scratch the
transparent window covering the sensors.
