BEFORE TESTING
Checking the Display
Each time you insert a test strip into the
OneTouch
®
Fast Take
®
Meter or turn the
meter on, all segments of the display will
appear briefly. This tells you that the
system is performing several self-checks
and allows you to confirm that all display
segments are working properly. (See
pages 4 and 5 for all display segments.)
Coding the Meter
Code numbers are used to calibrate the
OneTouch
®
Fast Take
®
Test Strips with the
OneTouch
®
Fast Take
®
Meter for accurate
results. You must code the meter before
using it for the first time and then every
time you change to another vial of
OneTouch
®
Fast Take
®
Test Strips. Each time
you test, check that the code number on
the meter display matches the code
number on the test strip vial.

CAUTION:
If the code number displayed on the meter does
not match the number printed on the vial, test results may
be inaccurate.
