Applying blood to the test strip
Turn the monitor 180°. Hold the blood input gap (at the tip of the test strip)
to the drops of blood until the gap is completely filled and the monitor in
the display starts counting backwards.
Do not press the penetration area (fingertip or other part of the body) to the
test strip. The blood must not be spread. The blood is sucked into the gap.
Note
Error message “Err 002” appears on the display if the gap was not correctly
and sufficiently filled with blood. Repeat the measurement using a new test
strip and an increased piercing depth.

Note
• Do
not
apply blood to the sides of the test strips.
• Do
not
add blood later if the device does not start the measurement. Remove the test strip and
end this test. Use a new test strip.
• If the test strip has already been inserted into the device but no blood is added to the test strip
within 2 minutes, the device switches itself off. Briefly remove the test strip and reinsert it so that
the device automatically switches itself back on.
• Contact Customer Services if you are unable to fill the test strip with blood correctly.
5.4 Reading the result and labelling measurements
Reading the result
Hold the blood glucose monitor so that the display is facing
you (Beurer logo on the right-hand side). As soon as the
blood input gap is filled with sufficient blood, the device
performs the blood glucose measurement. The monitor
counts down for approx. 5 seconds. The measurement is
then shown on the display.
Read your measured value. Check again that you have read the result correctly. The underline must
be below the measured value, otherwise you need to turn the monitor by 180°. For explanations of
and actions relating to the measured values, see “5.6 Evaluating measured blood glucose values”
on page 21. If an error message is displayed, read chapter “8. Troubleshooting” on page 31.
