Meter Use and Precautions
• The meter is pre-set to display blood glucose concentration in either millimoles
per liter (mmol/L) or milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) depending on which unit of
measure is standard in your country. This unit of measure cannot be adjusted.
The meter will be set to mg/dL by default when sold in the United States.
• Do not get water or other liquids inside the meter.
• Keep the strip port area clean.
• Keep your meter dry and avoid exposing it to extremes in temperature or
humidity. Do not leave it in your car.
• Do not drop the meter or get it wet. If you do drop the meter or get it wet, check
the meter by running a quality control test. Refer to Quality Control Test on
page 14 for instructions.
• Do not take the meter apart. Taking the meter apart will void the warranty.
• Refer to the Caring for Your Meter section on page 29 for details on cleaning
the meter.
• Keep the meter and all associated parts out of reach of children.
Note: Follow proper precautions and all local regulations when disposing of the
meter and used batteries.

®
Plus Blood Glucose Test Strips
The On Call
®
Plus Blood Glucose Test Strips are thin strips with a chemical
reagent which work with the On Call
®
Plus Blood Glucose Meter to measure the
glucose concentration in whole blood. After the strip is inserted into the meter,
blood is applied to the sample tip of the test strip, and then automatically absorbed
into the reaction cell where the reaction takes place. A transient electrical current is
formed during the blood glucose concentration is calculated based on the electrical
current detected by the meter, and then the result is shown on the meter display.
The meter is calibrated to display plasma equivalent results.
