Successful reading of the test strip code is indicated
by two beeps (one short, one long), if the beeper is
switched on, and by display of the test strip type: either
GLUC or CHOL. Then CODE stops flashing.
If the strip code has not been read in correctly, error
messages appear (e.g.
e-1
,
e-2
, or OFF). In this case,
consult Section 6.1 “Error messages” and follow the
instructions given there. If the inserted strip is not
shown correctly on the display (e.g. if GLUC is not dis-
played although you have inserted an Accutrend
®
Glu-
cose test strip), switch off the meter and start again.
Open the flap.
The measurement time in seconds flashes on the
display: 12 sec for GLUC, 180 sec for CHOL.
Rub and knead the side of a fingertip to facilitate the
withdrawal and application of blood.
Lance the massaged site with the lancing device.
With the test strip still in the meter, allow a hanging
drop of blood to form without applying too much pres-
sure. For determination of cholesterol wipe off the first
drop of blood with a cellulose pad and use the second
drop of blood for the test. Carefully apply the drop of
blood to the yellow test area (pad) on the strip without
touching the test pad directly with the finger.

covered with blood.
