1. Introduction to the System
3. Safety Information
Please use this device only for the intended use described in this user guide.
Before using this system to test your blood glucose, please read instructions thoroughly and
practice the test when you first use this system. Do a quality check on the system following
the controls solution test instructions and consult with your healthcare professionals for
questions or problems.
Be aware of the safety of young children or handicapped persons near you when you
conduct a glucose test using this system.
The Easy Talk glucose monitor can only be used with the Easy Talk/Plus II Glucose
Test Strips and control solution.
Please keep the test strip vial away from children. The test strips and vial cap can present a
choking hazard.
Never share a lancet or a lancing device with anyone.
Always use a new, sterile lancet-lancets are for single use only.

7. Running a Control Solution Test
IMPORTANT:Always make sure you press C key for Control Solution test,
otherwise in the control solution test result will be stored in the memory, and
affect your “AVG” results.
1. Insert a strip into the meter, you will hear: “Hello, the meter is ready.” A
full LCD screen will be displayed briefly and then a blood drop icon
appears. You will hear: “Apply blood now.”
2. Press the C key, and the meter will display a letter “C” on the upper right
corner of screen, indicating the control test mode. You will hear: “Apply
control solution now.” The test result will not be stored in the memory.
3. Squeeze a small amount of Control Solution on a flat surface and apply to
the front edge of the test strip, and you will hear: “Testing in process.”
4. Wait for 6 seconds, and the meter will display the result. You will hear:
“The glucose level is number/unit.”
5. Remove the used strip by hand or by pushing the ejector and the meter
will power off with a display of “OFF” on the screen. You will hear:
“Goodbye.”
8. Blood Glucose Testing
Alternate Site Testing (AST)
What is AST?
Sampling from anatomical sites (parts of the body) other than the fingertip ( i.e. forearm, upper arm,
thigh, calf, palm) to check the blood glucose levels. This system allows you to test on the forearm
with the equivalent results to fingertip testing.
There are important limitations to AST. Please consult your healthcare professional before you use
AST.
What is the advantage?
It is more painful feeling when taking blood sample from fingertips because fingertips have many
nerve endings. Other body sites do not have as many nerve endings, so you will not feel as much
pain as at the fingertip.
When to use AST?
Medication, stress, illness, food and exercise can affect blood glucose levels. Capillary whole blood at
the fingertip can reflect test changes faster than capillary blood at other sites of body. If you test your
blood glucose level during or immediately after a meal, physical exercise or stressful events, take the
blood sample from your fingertip instead of from other sites.
Use AST only:
1. 2 hours or more after taking insulin;
2. 2 hours or more after a meal;
3. 2 hours or more after exercise.
Do not use AST if you are pregnant, or if you are aware that your glucose level is not as stable as usual,
or if you think you have hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or hyperglycemia (high blood sugar).
Do not use AST if you think your blood glucose is low and your AST results do not match the way
you feel.

The principle of the method
When glucose reacts with the reagents on the test strips, an electrical current is produced,
which is proportional to the glucose concentration in the blood sample.
The glucose concentration is calculated by the meter and based on the current measured.
* Your meter has the back light feature, it will turn on with in every operation to increase
the legibility in operation, helping the user to operate the meter more smoothly.
7. Set the Alarm Reminder – Press C key to toggle between the alarm
reminder setting or no-setting mode. If setting alarm is selected, you

Note: Your meter can show results either in “mg/dL” or “mmol/L” units. Mg/dL is the unit used in the U.S.,
please contact the manufacturer if your meter does not display mg/dL when you turn it on. The factory set
default for the meter is mg/dL, in the event that the meter loses power or the batteries are changed, the factory
set default is mg/dL. It is very important to use the correct unit of measurement to properly manage your
diabetes. If you live in the USA you should use mg/dL; your results will never have a decimal point. If you live
in Canada and some European countries you should use mmol/L; your results will always have a decimal point.
The mg/dL display is on by default.
Note:
1. When you change the date and time backward, you will not change the test results in the meter memory.
2. You need to move through the language, year, month, day, hour, minutes, alarm, unit dEL and VoL to save
the meter settings and turn off the meter .
3. The average readings in the meter memory are calculated from the results obtained during the 7, 14, 28, 60,
and 90 calendar days preceding the current date and time settings.
