Checking your meter
1
Read the package insert which
comes with the control solutions.
Remove a test strip from the test
strip container and then close the
cap tightly.
Hold the test strip so that the
arrows printed on it and the
green square face upwards.
Gently slide the test strip into the
test strip guide in the direction of
the arrows until you feel it lock
into place.
The test strip must lie flat on the
measurement window cover.
Carrying out a control test
The meter turns on and first
performs a default display check
(approx. 2 seconds).
Check that all the segments of
the numeric display
(mg/dL
meter) or
(mmol/L meter) as
well as the unit of measurement
are displayed.
If segments are missing, please
contact your customer support
and service centre (see page 63).
mg/dL meter
mmol/L
meter
Following the display check, the
code number is displayed (689 is
just an example).
Check that this code number is
the same as the code number on
the label of the test strip
container.
If the numbers do not match,
even though the code chip in the
meter belongs to the test strip
container, please contact your
customer support and service
centre.
