Reminders:
Here you can set whether or not you want
reminders to be accompanied by beeps (see Chap-
ter 4.5). If
Reminders
is turned on (default setting), the
beeps will sound.
Acoustic mode:
If the acoustic mode is turned on
(default setting: off), the meter guides you through the
blood glucose test with the beeps described above. At
the end of the test, the meter also announces the result
in the form of a sequence of beeps. The acoustic mode
is described in Chapter 6.
Visually impaired people should only use the
acoustic mode if they have familiarized them-
selves fully with the assistance of a sighted
person and have demonstrated that they are
able to understand results correctly without
exception using the acoustic mode. The acoustic
mode should always be used with great care.
otherwise there is a risk that the results will be
misinterpreted by the person performing the
test. An incorrect insulin dose resulting from a
misinterpreted result can cause considerable
health damage and can even be fatal. especially
if unexpected and abnormal blood glucose val-
ues are obtained using the acoustic mode, the
result must be checked by repeating the test
together with a sighted person.
Visually impaired people should not test their
blood glucose without assistance from a sighted
person.
