IMPORTANT:
• Check the expiration date printed on the test strip bottle and its pack-
age. Do not use expired test strips.
• Use each test strip immediately after removing it from the bottle.
• Do not use wet or damaged test strips.
• Keep away from direct sunlight and heat. Store the test strip bottle in
a dry, cool place.
• Record the "date opened" on the bottle label. Discard the bottle and
any remaining test strips after 3 months from date of opening.
• Test under the temperature range of 50˚F~104˚F. Your meter will not
work outside these ranges.
Step 2:
Wait until the flashing blood drop and arrow icons
appear on the meter display screen. The meter will
also announce, “Please apply blood onto the test
strip” if you have the talking feature turned on. Use
the middle button and arrow up or down to enter L1
control solution testing.
Step 3:
ctl icon will appear next to the test strip icon and L1 will appear on the
meter display screen. The meter will also announce “L1 (or L2) control
solution test, please apply control solution onto the test strip.” If you de-
cide not to do a control solution test, arrow up or down until ctl disap-
peared from the meter display and press the middle button.
Step 4:
Squeeze a drop of control solution onto a clean, dry, nonabsorbent sur-
face. Do not apply control solution to the test strip directly from the bot-
tle. Replace the bottle cap on the control solution bottle immediately
after use.
