Perform the Blood Glucose Test (continued)
SECTION 3
Things to remember:
• Never use a Test Strip beyond the printed expiration date (on the foil packet).
• Use the Test Strip immediately after removing from the foil packet.
• It is important to insert the Test Strip until it comes to a full stop. When inserted fully, the tab
on the top portion of the strip should be completely hidden within the Meter.
• After inserting Test Strip, wait until the F# and previous test result begin flashing before apply-
ing sample to strip.
• Always make sure the Function Number printed on the Code Strip, Code Strip Packet and the
Test Strip Foil matches the Function Number displayed in the Display.
• To be sure your Test Strip fills completely, hold the test end of the Test Strip in the blood drop
until after the “beep” sounds.
• Remove the Test Strip immediately after use to turn off the Meter and preserve battery life.
The Meter turns off automatically after 3 minutes if the strip is left in the Meter.
• You can recall stored test results from the Meter memory by inserting a new Test Strip (before
applying blood), and waiting 3 minutes. The memory recall function will then begin automati-
cally. Do not recall results with a used Test Strip.
• Teach another person to use the system so you will have someone to help should you ever
need assistance.
• If a problem occurs, refer to Section 6 or the Test Strip package insert.
