1. Check the code on the test strip vial before
inserting the test strip
Code numbers are used to calibrate your meter
with the test strips you are using.
2. Insert a test strip to turn on the meter
Start with the meter off. If you have turned the
meter on to change settings or review past results,
turn it off. Remove a test strip from its vial and
recap the vial immediately. 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.
Make sure the three contact bars are facing
you and the arrow is pointing down. 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.
