Sound
The cobas h 232 meter can display information visually and alert you to special circumstances
with a beep sound. When the Sound is activated, the meter beeps when:
■ it is powered on
■ it detects a test strip
■ pre-heating of the test strip is complete and you need to apply a sample
■ it detects a blood sample
■ the test is completed and the results are displayed (a long beep)
■ an error occurs (three short beeps)
■ the power adapter is connected when the meter is on
■ a barcode is scanned successfully (short beep)
■ the barcode scanner is disabled (two short beeps)
■ a positive test result can be expected, while the measurement still is in progress (a long
beep)
■ a test result requires operator confirmation and the meter will soon power off automati-
cally (three short beeps)
You can also activate a Key Click. When the Key Click is activated, the meter clicks briefly every
time a button is touched, facilitating the input of information.
We recommend that you keep the Sound (beeper) activated at all times.
