found on the correct side of the lot code card must be
entered. Press ENTER after each group of digits is

Press YES.
• The Instrument will perform a brief self-calibration.
Immediately following the self-calibration the Instrument
will prompt to insert the CAL A vial (Figure 4).
• Open the vial holder cover and insert the CAL A vial
pressing down until it meets the bottom of the vial
holder.
• The Instrument will then perform a zero check and
prompt to remove the CAL A when the test is complete.
