Step-by-Step Test Procedure
Insert a test strip, contact bars end
first and facing up, into the test port.
(Contact bars must be inserted all
the way into the meter or you may
get an inaccurate test result.) The
meter will turn on automatically. All
segments will appear briefly on the
display followed by the date and
time. Then "code
ª∫
" (example) and
the
R
symbol will appear. If the
code number on the display does not
match the code number on the test
strip vial, code the meter.

the OneTouch

The blood sample must be at least
1.5 microlitres ( actual size) in

or you may get an
inaccurately low test result.
