Note: Insertion of a new test strip at any time, except while in the
data transfer mode (detailed on page 28) will cause the meter to
automatically enter the test mode.
1. Insert a test strip into the strip port, contact
bars end first and facing up, to turn on the
meter and display all the display segments. If
the audio option is on, the meter will beep,
signaling the meter is turned on.
Make sure that the code number that
appears on the display matches the code
number (CODE) on the test strip vial (or on
the foil pouch). If not, make sure to locate
and insert the code chip that came with the
box of strips. If the codes still do not match,
do not perform a test. You will need a new
package of test strips to perform a test.
2. The blinking test strip and blood drop icon
will indicate that the test strip is inserted
correctly and a drop of blood can be added.
3. Touch the blood sample to the sample tip at
the end of the test strip. If the audio option is
turned on, the meter will also beep to
indicate the sample is sufficient and the
measurement has started.
DO NOT:
Apply sample to the front or back of the
test strip.
Smear the blood drop onto the test strip.
Press your finger against the test strip.
Apply a second drop of blood.
