Do not pull the bottle
away until the meter
beeps or
000
is displayed.
The 000 on the display
gradually disappears during the test.
The test result appears and is stored in the
meter’s memory automatically.
6. Check that the result is within the
acceptable range on the test drum vial or
the vial label. (Use the range – low or high
– that matches the type of solution you
have.)
If the result is not in the acceptable
range, see Understanding Control Test
Results.
7. Holding the meter upright, press
to release the test strip and

one drop of solution
against the black notch on the strip.
The test begins when the test strip has
