Meter is easy
to maintain. These tips will help you
keep it in good operating condition:
■
Keep the test strip holder and test
area clean (see page 83).
■
Keep your meter dry and avoid
exposing it to extremes in tempera-
ture or humidity. (
Example: Do not
leave it in your car.)
■
Do not drop the meter or get it wet,
as this could damage the electron-
ics. If you drop the meter or get it
wet accidentally, make sure the
test strip holder is still securely in
place. If you drop the meter or get
it wet, check the meter by doing
check strip tests (see page 16) and
control solution tests (see page 20)
to be sure it is operating properly.
■
Do not take the meter apart.
Sensitive parts could be damaged,
causing inaccurate results.
Taking
the meter apart will void the war-
ranty.
■
Do not clean the meter with alco-
hol. Alcohol will damage the meter.
CAUTION:
■
Do not get water or other
liquids inside the meter.
■
Never immerse the meter or
hold it under running water or
other liquids.
