a blinking blood drop with a plus sign, the test strip
does not have enough blood.
2. Apply more blood to the same test strip within
60 seconds.
NOTE: If the screen displays an E 1 error message,
remove the strip and start with a new strip.
If the Meal Marker feature is On, the meter suggests a Fasting
