6. Open the test strip vial. Take one
new test strip out of the vial and
recap the vial quickly and firmly.
7. While the meter is off, insert a
new test strip into the meter's strip
slot with the contact bars facing
upwards. The meter will turn on
with a full screen display. A blinking
blood icon will be displayed on the
screen. If no action is taken in 2
minutes, the meter will turn off
automatically.
8. Use the adjustable lancing device
or the disposable lancet to take a
blood sample from the fingertip and
let it form a small round blood drop.
To avoid body fluid contamination,
it is recommended that you do not use the first blood drop
for glucose testing.
