Caring for the System

CAUTION: Do not allow cleaning solution to run in 
or around the buttons or battery cover. Doing so may 
cause a malfunction.

   Store meter in the carrying case provided whenever 

possible.

   Wash hands and dry them thoroughly before handling 

to keep the meter and test strips free of oils and other 
contaminants.

   Handle the meter carefully to avoid damaging the 

electronics or causing other malfunctions.

   Avoid exposing meter and test strips to excessive 

humidity, heat, cold, dust, or dirt.

   The exterior of the meter can be cleaned using a moist 

(not wet) lint-free tissue with a mild detergent or disin-
fectant solution, such as 1 part bleach mixed with 9 parts 
water. Wipe dry with lint-free tissue after cleaning.
