Acoustic Mode

Acoustic Mode is intended for persons who are visually impaired. When 
Acoustic Mode is turned on, the meter guides you through the blood 
glucose test using beep tones; it also outputs the result as a series of 
beeps. The meter beeps additionally when the batteries are almost 
exhausted, the test strip drum is empty, or an error message is dis-
played.

Chapter 3.3 describes how to turn Acoustic Mode on.

 Visually impaired persons need a sighted person to instruct them 

in the use of the meter and to assist them with all aspects of its 
operation. Visually impaired persons must not test their blood 
glucose without assistance from a sighted person.

An intimate knowledge of how results are represented as beeps and 
how to distinguish results from other beeps is crucial to reliably recog-
nizing the result.

The chapters that now follow explain the beep tones in detail. In addi-
tion, training software (the BeepLearn-Programm) to help you interpret 
results announced in the form of beeps is available on CD from  
Accu-Chek Customer Care. Practice listening to beeps from actual tests 
or from the training software together with a sighted person until you 
can clearly recognize and interpret the results and other beeps you will 
hear. 

If you have problems determining the results from the beeps, you should 
not use Acoustic Mode.

There are two types of beep tone, differing in pitch. Warnings have a 
higher tone (Tone 2, represented below as 

—

 ) than the other beep 

tones (Tone 1, represented below as 

—

 ). The following table shows
