4.2 Performing a test
1 Check the charge level of the battery
pack. If there are no bars left in the battery
icon, you cannot perform any more tests.
For further details see page 27.
2 Check that the date and time are correct.
Correct any incorrect settings as
described in the chapter entitled “Meter
Setup/Setting the date”.
If a QC lockout is displayed instead of Patient
Test, you must run a quality control test
before you can perform a test (see “Control
Testing and Quality Control” starting on
page 141). If the meter is locked, a test can
only be performed as a STAT test (if this func-
tion is enabled and if there are still STAT tests
available).
If a Cleaning Lockout is displayed instead of
Patient Test, you must touch Cleaning and
follow the instructions on the screen and
clean the meter. See “Maintenance and Care”
beginning on page 169. Once you have re-
attached the test strip guide cover and pow-
ered the meter on again, the meter is no
longer locked.
If the Patient Test button is available, but a
lockout is displayed, you must first perform a
quality control test for certain test parameters.
Other test parameters are not affected.
