backlight, and QC reminder.

Setting the Audible Beep
The beep may be turned “On” (Diagram A) or “Off” (Diagram B).
If turned “On”, the beep will sound when:
• Meter is turned on.
• Test has ended and the result is displayed.
• HYPO warning is turned on and blood glucose
result is below HYPO setting.
• Meter starts to count down.
Setting the Hypoglycemic (HYPO) Warning
Set the HYPO Warning to remind someone to take action due to a low blood glucose result.
You must take caution if the HYPO Warning is used in a multi-patient setting as each resident
may have a different HYPO threshold.
If the HYPO Warning is set to “On” (Diagram A), you will be prompted
to select the value at which you wish the warning to sound. The value
will flash to show that it can be changed. You may pick a value between
20–80 mg/dL.
