SETTING UP YOUR METER
CAUTION: Matching the code on the meter and the code on the test strip vial is essential to
obtaining accurate results. Each time you test, check to make sure the code numbers match.
Insert a test strip to turn on the meter
Remove a test strip from its vial. With clean, dry hands, you may touch the test strip
anywhere on its surface. Do Not bend, cut or modify the test strips in any way. Use
each test strip immediately after removing it from the vial. Insert the test strip into
the test port as shown, with the three contact bars facing you. Push the test strip in
as far as it will go.
After the black start-up screen appears, the meter will display the code
from your last test. If a flashing “– –” appears instead of a code number,
such as when you are first using the meter, follow the instructions in
step 3 to change to a numerical code.
Match the code on the meter with the code on the test strip vial
If the code on the meter does not match the code on the test strip vial, press
or to match the code number on the test strip vial. The new code number will
flash on the display for three seconds, then briefly stop flashing, after which the
display will advance to the APPLY BLOOD screen.
If the codes already match, press to go to the APPLY BLOOD screen.
When you do not make a change after five seconds, the display will
advance to the APPLY BLOOD screen. The meter is now ready to perform a
blood glucose test.
NOTE:
• If the APPLY BLOOD screen appears before you are sure the codes match, remove the test strip, and
re-start from step 1.
• If you change APPLY BLOOD to APPLY CONTROL by mistake, press to change it back to APPLY BLOOD.
