Avoid getting dirt, dust, blood, water, or any other liquid in the meter's test strip
and data ports. Clean the outside of the meter using a cloth dampened with one of
the following:
Mild detergent/mild soap and water.
70% isopropyl alcohol.
A mix of one part household bleach, nine parts water.
Important:
Never immerse the meter in water or any other liquid.
The meter should be handled with care. Dropping, rough handling, etc. may
damage the meter. Also, protect the meter from moisture, prolonged direct
sunlight, and high temperatures.
