Quick Start Guide
If any of the error messages below appear on the display at any time,
refer immediately to the User’s Manual, Chapter 5, Display and Error
Messages.
E-1
The test strip may be damaged or not properly inserted. Remove and
reinsert the test strip, or replace it if damaged.
E-3
Your blood glucose may be extremely high or a meter or a test strip
error has occurred. If your test result matches how you feel, contact your
healthcare professional immediately. If your test result does not match
how you feel, repeat the blood glucose test and see the User’s Manual,
Chapter 2, Unusual Blood Glucose Results. If the second test result does
not match how you feel, perform a control test with the control solution
and a new test strip. If the control result is within the acceptable range,
review the proper testing procedure and repeat the blood glucose test
with a new test strip. If the E-3 code still appears for your blood glucose
test, your blood glucose result may be extremely high and above the
system’s reading range.
Contact your healthcare professional
immediately.
If the control result is not within the acceptable range, see
the User’s Manual, Chapter 4, Understanding Out-of-Range Control
Results.
E-4
Not enough blood or control solution was drawn into the test strip for
measurement or was applied after the test had started. Discard the test
strip and repeat the blood glucose or control test.
E-6
Blood or control solution was applied to the test strip before the
flashing drop symbol appeared on the display. Discard the test strip and
repeat the blood glucose or control test.
E-7
An electronic error occurred, or in rare cases, a used test strip was
removed and reinserted. Turn the meter off and on, or take the battery
out for 20 seconds and reinsert it. Perform a blood glucose or control
test.
E-8
The temperature is above or below the proper range for the system.
Refer to the test strip package insert for system operating conditions.
Move to an area with the appropriate conditions, wait 5 minutes, and
repeat the blood glucose or control test. Do not artificially heat or cool
the meter.
E-9
The battery is almost out of power. Change the battery now. If the
message reappears after the battery has been replaced, remove the
battery again, press any meter button, then reinsert the battery.
E-10
The time and date settings may be incorrect. Make sure the time
and date are correct and adjust, if necessary.
