a
Dip the test strip in the sample for 2 seconds, and then withdraw it.
IMPORTANT:
Different procedures at this stage are required, depending
on the setting of the “operational mode when turning ON”
parameter. (See “
 Operational mode” on page 2-3.)
The standard setting is “Auto start” mode. To change the
“operational mode when turning ON”, see “3.7.8. No.005:
Operational mode when turning ON” on page 3-27.
REFERENCE:
When the buzzer setting is ON, the buzzer sounds in the following intervals to signal the dipping timing for the test
strips.
IMPORTANT:
 Dip the entire test strip pad area in the sample at once. Do not allow the
black mark shown in the figure to become wet. If the test strip is dipped too
deeply and the black mark is moistened, correct measurement may not be
obtained.
 After dipping the test strip in the sample, remove excess urine using the edge
of the collection cup.
 In the “Auto start” mode, the buzzer does not sound for the first measurement. Always dip the test strip for 2
seconds. Insufficient dipping of test strips may cause insufficient color change, while dipping too long may
cause reagents to drain out of the test strip, either of which will prevent correct measurement.
REFERENCE:
When the buzzer setting is ON, the buzzer sounds for 2 seconds to signal the dipping timing.
