Prepare Your Meter
Insert a new test strip into the meter until it
stops. The meter will power on.
Note:
If you do not start the test within two minutes, the meter returns
to clock mode. To restart your meter, take out the unused test strip and
reinsert it into the meter.
Setting the Test Strip Code
When the meter powers on, three display screens
will appear in the following order:
When you see the word “COdE” and a code
number on the display screen, use the “
c
” button
to scroll forward or the “
m
” button to scroll
backward until the number matches the number
on your test strip vial. The FreeStyle Flash® Meter
has a total of 50 codes.
Performing a Blood Glucose Test
Caution:
Take care to not press the “
c
” or “
m
” buttons when you
are holding the meter while performing the blood test. If you do,
you might change the code and get an incorrect reading or an
Error 6.
• After you set your code number, the Blood
Drop and Test Strip symbols will appear on the
display screen.
• If you want to return to the code number
display screen after the Blood Drop and Test
Strip symbols appear, press the “
c
” button.
Note:
To ensure accurate test results, make sure the code number on
your meter always matches the number in the box outlined in blue,
located on the side of the test strip vial.
