is extremely easy to use. For normal,
routine reading of test strips (Normal Mode) simply press
<Start> to begin reading when you see "READY -
<START>".
The user is guided by display messages and the status
LED. The status LED appears in one of three states:
- Red
= Read display messages,
- Flashing green
= Dip a test strip,
- Green
= Insert the test strip.
There is also a choice of three operating modes (further
details see Operators´Manual):
- Normal Mode
- Accelerated Mode
- Fast Mode
When dipping a test strip in the sample, always ensure that
all of the test pads are completely covered. Place the test
strip, with its test pads facing upwards, to the right of the
"NO STRIP" warning and between the two elevations along
the front edge of the strip receiving tray. The far end of the
test strip must be resting on the inner lip at the rear of the
tray (Fig. 60).

automatically terminates the series
when no further strip is inserted.
You can change between the three operating modes by
making the appropriate selection in the Working Mode
menu (see Operators´Manual).
Miditron

automatically assigns consecutive
sequence numbers to samples. Numbering automatically
starts with 1:
a) whenever the date has changed (also, the display reads
"Empty Waste Tray"), and
b) following erasure of the results memory.
The waste container integrated into the strip receiving tray
can hold up to 75 used test strips. When the container
needs emptying, the message "Empty Waste Tray" is
displayed. The same message also appears when you
press <Start> at the beginning of each day. Should the
container already be empty, you can bypass the message
by pressing <Start> again and then proceed with
measurements.
The results memory can hold up to 150 results.
