Caring for Your Meter
Avoid getting dirt, dust, blood, control solution, water, or any other
liquid in the meter's test strip and data ports.
Clean the outside of the meter using a cloth dampened with one of the
following:
•
Mild detergent/mild soap and water.
•
70% isopropyl alcohol.
•
A mix of one part household bleach, nine parts water.
Important: Never immerse the meter in water or any other liquid.
Install the battery with the positive (+) sign up
toward you.
To close, angle the battery door back onto the
meter and swing down until it snaps into place.
Note: Batteries need to be properly disposed of.
For this purpose, all shops selling batteries provide
battery collection boxes on their premises.
