squeezed the blood will be diluted with tissue fluid and the test result will be
inaccurate.

Note
The Beurer GL30 mg/dL blood glucose monitor is suitable for measuring
whole capillary blood.
Storage and care
WARNING
•
Keep monitor and accessories out of reach of small children. Small parts,
such as lancets, batteries or test strips, may cause fatal injuries if swal-
lowed. If a part has been swallowed, seek medical help immediately.
•
The container with the test strips includes a desiccating agent that could
cause skin and eye irritation if inhaled or swallowed. Keep the container
away from small children.
Batteries/saving readings
WARNING
•
Batteries can be fatal if swallowed. You should store the batteries out of
reach of small children. If a battery has been swallowed, seek medical help
immediately.
•
Never throw batteries into the fire. Danger of explosion!
CAUTION
•
Remove the batteries if they are flat or if the monitor is not going to be
used for a longer period. This prevents any damage as a result of leakage.
•
Batteries should not be recharged or reactivated in any other way. Batter-
ies must not be dismantled or short-circuited.
•
Do not use rechargeable batteries.
Note
•
When the batteries are changed, the stored readings are retained. The
date and time are retained when batteries are replaced and when the bat-
teries are flat.
•
When changing the batteries, always use two batteries of the same type,
brand and capacity. You should preferably use alkaline batteries.
