Inserting a Test Strip
1 The test strip icon prompts you to insert a
test strip. Remove the test strip from its
foil pouch.
2 Hold the test strip so that the application
and test area is facing up.
3 Hold the test strip straight and flat. Insert
it quickly in the test strip guide of the
meter. It is important that you insert the
test strip using a smooth, even motion.
Note: Inserting the test strip too slowly can
cause a barcode reading error. See the corre-
sponding error message on page 129.
Note: Slide the test strip in as far as it will go.
A beep tone indicates that the meter has
detected the test strip, provided the beep tone
is turned on in the settings.
Exposure to external influences (e.g., humidity) may deteriorate the test strips and may lead
to error messages! Remove the test strip from its foil pouch only when you are ready to per-
form a test.
