is the shallowest depth; level 4 is the deepest. Move the dial

most sites except the finger.
To lance your finger, we recommend that you start at level 1,
the shallowest. Be sure to use the gray cap.

From some PDM screens, you cannot access the Free-

use the meter while you are activating a Pod or when
an alert, alarm, or communication error screen is dis-
played. In these cases, if you insert a test strip, the
PDM beeps to alert you.
