Turning your meter on
To perform a test, insert a test strip as far as it will
go. The display will turn on and the meter will briefly
perform system checks. Or, to change the time and
date, start with the meter off, then press and
hold
for five seconds until the start-up test screen
appears. After the test screen, the pre-set time and
date will appear on the display. Or, if you want to
turn the meter on to review past results, start with
the meter off, then press and release
.
Every time you turn your meter on, a start-up test
screen will appear for two seconds. All segments of the display should appear briefly on
the test screen to tell you that the meter is working properly. To check that all display
segments are working, as soon as the start-up test screen appears, press and hold to
keep the test screen display on. Release to proceed to the next step.
If the meter does not power on, try changing the meter battery. See pages 35–36.
Turning your meter off
There are several ways to turn your meter off:
• Press and hold
for two seconds, when reviewing past results.
• Your meter will turn off by itself if left alone for two minutes.
• Before or after completing a test, remove the test strip.
