Meter is easy to
maintain. These tips will help you keep
it in good operating condition:
■
Keep the test strip holder and test
area clean (see page 73).
■
Keep your meter dry and avoid
exposing it to extremes in tem-
perature or humidity. For example, do
not leave it in your car.
■
Do not drop the meter or get it wet,
as this could damage the electronics.
If you drop the meter or get it wet
accidentally, make sure the test strip
holder is still securely in place. If you
drop the meter or get it wet, check
the meter by doing check strip tests
(see page 14) and control solution
tests (see page 18) to be sure it is
operating properly.
■
Do not take the meter apart.
Sensitive parts could be damaged,
causing inaccurate results. Taking the
meter apart will void the warranty.
■
Do not clean the meter with alcohol.
Alcohol will damage the meter.
CAUTION:
■
Do not get water or other liquids
inside the meter.
■
Never immerse the meter or hold
it under running water or other
liquids.
