Inserting the code chip
Roche recommends keeping the code chip in the meter to protect the contacts from becoming
dirty.
Protect the code chip from moisture and equipment which produces magnetic fields and
electrostatic discharges.
Once the test strip lot is used up, dispose of the old code chip
promptly to prevent mix-ups.
1 Remove the old code chip, if one is
inserted in the meter.
2 Always make sure that the number on the
code chip matches the number on the
label of the test strip package.
By scanning the barcode on the strip, the
meter gathers information about the
number of the required code chip.
3 Slide the new code chip into the slot on
the top of the meter as shown until you
feel it snaps into place.
If the code chip does not match the test strip lot, is missing or incorrectly inserted, an error
message appears in the display (see “Troubleshooting” starting on page 179).
