Getting Started
Meter comes with pre-set time and date. e
Event Tag feature, Ketone Test Alert, and all Test
Reminders are o. Before using the meter for the
first time or aer a battery change, check the time,
date, Event Tags, Alert and Reminders, and update
as needed (see Meter Set Up).
e meter turns on when a test strip is inserted into
the Test Port or when “ • ” Button is pressed (see
Memory and Meter Set Up).
Meter turns o when the test strip is released or
removed from the meter, “ • ” Button is pressed, or
aer 2 minutes of non-use.
Turning the Ketone Test Alert on sets a reminder to
check your ketones per your treatment plan when a
blood glucose result is over 240 mg/dL.
Test Reminders are set like an alarm clock to sound
a tone for 10 seconds to remind you to test. Up to
four Test Reminders per day may be set.

Getting Started (cont.)
Event Tags allow you to tag your blood glucose
results to link to the following events:
Before meal – test was taken just before a meal,
Aer meal – test was taken 2 hours aer the
start of a meal,
Exercise – test was taken during or aer exercise,
Medications – medication taken may have
aected test result,
Sick – test was taken when sick,
Other – any other reason that the test is unique
or dierent in some way (example: stress,
drinking alcohol). In your logbook, note the
reason that the test result was tagged. Seeing a
result with an Event Tag in the meter Memory
reminds you that there is more about this test
result in your log book.
Tagging results helps track the eect specic events
may have on your blood glucose test results. Event
Tagging may assist you and your Doctor or Health-
care Professional with managing diabetes.

Quality Control Testing
To assure you are getting accurate
and reliable results, TRUE METRIX
oers two kinds of quality Control
Tests. ese tests let you know that
your System is working properly
and your testing technique is good.
Automatic Self-Test
An Automatic Self-Test is performed
by the meter each time a test strip is
inserted correctly into the Test Port.
Insert a test strip into the Test Port.
e meter is working properly if:
~ the full Display appears, then
~ the time appears in the upper
part of the Display, and then,
~ the Drop Symbol begins to blink.
If an error message appears in the Display,
the meter will not perform a test.
See Troubleshooting or call 1-800-803-6025,
Monday - Friday, 8AM-8PM EST.
Caution! If any segments are missing in the Display
when meter is first turned on, do not use the
meter for testing. Call 1-800-803-6025, Mon-
day - Friday, 8AM-8PM EST.

Control Test
We recommend performing Control Tests for practice
before using your meter for the first time to test your
blood.
Control Tests should be performed:
• For practice to ensure your testing technique is good,
• Occasionally as you use a vial of test strips,
• When opening a new vial of test strips,
• If results seem unusually high or low,
• If a vial has been le opened or exposed to extreme
heat or cold, or humidity,
• Whenever a check on performance of the system is
needed,
• If meter damage is suspected (meter was dropped,
crushed, wet, etc.)
Note: It is important to perform Control Tests with more
than one level of control solution. ree levels of
TRUE METRIX Control Solution are available
for Control Tests. Call 1-800-803-6025, Monday -
Friday, 8AM-8PM EST, for assistance in obtaining
dierent levels of control solution.
Caution! Ranges printed on test strip vial label are for
Control Test results only and are not suggested
levels for your blood glucose. Do not drink
control solution.

How to Test Control Solution
Use ONLY TRUE METRIX Control Solution with
the TRUE METRIX Self Monitoring Meter and Test
Strips.
1. Check dates on control solution
label and test strip vial label. Do not
use control solution or test strips
if expiration dates have passed.
(Control solution - 3 months aer
rst opening or date next to EXP on
bottle label; test strips - aer open
vial expiration date (see test strip
Instructions for Use) or date next to
EXP on vial label.) Discard expired
products and use new products.
2. Allow control solution, vial of test strips and
meter to adjust to room temperature. Write date
first opened on both control solution bottle label
and test strip vial label when using for the rst
time.
3. Gently swirl or invert control solution bottle to
mix.
DO NOT SHAKE!
4. Remove one test strip from vial. Close test strip
vial immediately. Use test strip quickly aer

Obtaining a Blood Sample (cont.)
Refer to lancing device Instructions for Use for detailed
instructions.
• Never share lancets or lancing device. Lancets are for
single use only. Do not re-use.
• Do not use venous blood for testing.
• To help prevent false high results, wash hands before
using the system to test blood, especially aer fruit has

From Forearm
Important Notes Regarding Forearm Testing
4
• Check with your Doctor or Healthcare Professional
to see if forearm testing is right for you.
• Results from forearm are not always the same as
results from fingertip.
• Use fingertip instead of forearm for more
accurate results:
~ Within 2 hours of eating, exercise, or taking insulin,
~ If your blood sugar may be rising or falling rapidly or
your routine results are oen fluctuating,
~ If you are ill or under stress,
~ If your forearm test results do not match how you feel,
~ If your blood sugar may be low or high,
~ If you do not notice symptoms when blood sugar is
low or high.
1. Select area to be lanced. Wash with soap and warm
water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Disinfect the clean
skin with an antiseptic (e.g., 70% alcohol).
2. Rub area vigorously or apply a warm dry compress to
increase blood flow.
3. Place end of lancing device equipped
with a lancet firmly against forearm.
Press Trigger Button. Apply firm pressure
on lancing device for 10 seconds. Apply
