appear on the confirmation dot, you have not applied enough blood
to obtain an accurate test. You must start over with a new test strip.

the test strip. Push it firmly and more slowly into the test strip holder
until it stops.
Note: It is possible to push the test strip into the test strip holder
too fast. If this happens, the meter displays the “Remove Test
Strip” symbol.
