DISPLAY AND SYMBOLS

The display should be checked every time you turn on the instrument. The meter 

momentarily shows all the symbols that may appear in the display. Regular mo- 

nitoring of all the display symbols prevents a misinterpretation of the instrument 

due to defects in the display.

The symbols on the display have the following meanings:

1. 

Data-chip inserted

2. 

Meter mode in use

3. 

Battery level indicator

4. 

Test results and other messages

5. 

Units of measure

6. 

Parameter being tested

7. 

Temperature indicator

8. 

Time

9. 

Day, Month, Year

10. 

Beeper

Meter’s modalities

The meter has three modalities:

It’s  the  default  mode  that  appears  every  time  you  turn 

on the instrument by pressing the ON switch. The strip 

symbol will flash and the display will show the number of 

the data chip, the date and time.
