The standard display test takes about 2 seconds.
Check that all the segments making up the numerals are properly
displayed.
If a segment is missing, test results may be displayed inaccurately (e.g.
through a “
9
” being confused with a “
3
”). If this happens, call your lo-
cal customer support and service centre.
Use the Accu-Chek Softclix lancing device to prick the side of a
fingertip. Gently squeeze the fingertip to develop a small drop of
blood (please turn to Part 2 and read the instructions for using the
Accu-Chek Softclix lancing device).

For testing with blood collected from alternative sites, such as
the forearm, or the base of the thumb, please turn to Part 3
and read the instructions for using the Accu-Chek Softclix AST
Accessory.
Wait until the flashing hand and blood drop symbol appear
in
the display and the meter beeps (provided the beep tone is turned
on).
You now have approximately 5 minutes in which to apply blood. After
this time the meter automatically turns off. This strip can no longer be
used. If this occurs, press the ON/OFF button to eject the test strip. Start
the blood glucose measurement again with a new test strip.
Hold the meter so
the test strip is pointing downwards
at a slight
angle (see illustration).
Always hold the meter so the test strip is pointing downwards
when you are applying blood. If you hold it with the test strip
pointing upwards, blood may enter the meter and contaminate
it.
