CAUTION: The monitor should be handled with care. Dropping, rough
handling, etc. may damage the monitor. If the monitor is not to be used
for an extended period of time, remove the battery to eliminate the risk
of battery leakage. Also, protect the monitor from moisture, prolonged
direct sunlight, and extreme temperatures.
Overview
To perform a test, the operator simply inserts a test strip; waits
for the blood drop symbol to appear on the screen; brings the
test strip to the drop of blood; and obtains a glucose test result in
5 seconds. The test result is automatically stored into the moni-
tor’s memory. The operator can recall and review test data stored
in the monitor, including the average for user results.
