Key into meter before actually starting your test. This procedure makes sure
you do calibrate the meter and assures you of getting accurate test results.

How to switch Smart Code Key ?
Every new box of test strips should come with a Smart Code Key inside. Before
you install the Smart Code Key, please check that the code number on the strip
vial and the code number on the bottom of Smart Code Key should be the
same.
