TESTING

against the puncture site and
press the release button.
2. Stroke your hand and finger
toward the puncture site to form
a drop of blood.
Do not squeeze around the

test strip to the drop of blood.
The blood is drawn into the test
strip through the tip.
CAUTION: Do not press the
tip of the test strip against the
skin or place the blood on top
of the test strip. These actions
could lead to inaccurate

NOTE: If the Meal Marker feature
is On, do not remove the test strip
until you select a Meal Marker.

1. If the meter beeps twice and the screen displays a
blinking blood drop with a plus sign, the test strip
does not have enough blood.

60 seconds.
NOTE: If the screen displays an E 1 error message,
remove the strip and start with a new strip.
The meter displays your blood glucose result. If Meal Markers are On,
