Applying a blood sample Once the meter has checked the test strip, the hourglass
icon disappears and you are prompted to apply a blood
sample.
1 Wait until the flashing drop appears in the display
before applying the blood. The meter beeps.
2 Apply the
drop of blood
to the
front edge
(yellow
dosing area) of the test strip. Blood is pulled into
the test strip by capillary action.
Do
not apply the blood to the top of the strip. Blood
on top of the test strip is not available for testing
because it will not be pulled into the strip.
Once a sufficient blood sample has been detected, the
meter beeps and the measurement begins.

When applying the sample, position the meter so that
the test strip port is always higher or on the same level
as the blood drop. This prevents any excess blood
from flowing down the strip and entering the meter.
