  If the Arkray Blood Glucose Meter control solution test result is out-of-range, ensure your test strips and control solutions haven't expired (check the bottle for the expiration date). Also, the control solutions should be at room temperature; if not, retest with a new bottle or allow the solution to reach room temperature. Ensure the test strip is fully inserted into the port (refer to the diagram on page 26). If problems persist, retest with a new bottle of test strips or contact Customer Service at 800.566.8558 if the meter is damaged or showing an error code.

  If your Arkray Blood Glucose Meter shows an out-of-range test result, first, repeat the test. When inserting a test strip, press the Orange/Up Arrow button to activate control solution mode, ensuring "CONT" appears on the screen. Also, verify that the test strips and control solutions haven't expired, checking the expiration date on the bottle. Ensure control solutions are at room temperature; if not, retest with a new bottle or allow the solution to reach room temperature. Finally, make sure the code on the test strip bottle matches what's displayed on the meter screen; if there is a mismatch, use a new bottle of test strips.
