part of your finger tip which you obtain a drop of blood from us-

4. Blood glucose measurement
Hold the application zone of the test strip vertically onto the
blood sample. The blood is automatically sucked in the reaction
zone of the test strip. Be sure to get enough blood on the strip’s
reaction zone, otherwise, an inaccurate reading may result. The
signal tone indicates that enough blood entered the reaction
zone. The meter will now start with the measurement which will
last 5 seconds. The LCD display shows the remaining time of
measurement in seconds. Afterwards the note „OK“ indicates a
correct measurement. The measurement is finished with another
signal beep and the measured value is shown on the display.
