Step-by-Step Test Procedure
STEP 1
Insert Test Strip.
Insert the test strip, contact bars end first
and facing up, into the test port. (Contact
bars must be inserted all the way into the
meter or you may get an inaccurate test
result.) The meter will turn on automati-
cally. All segments will appear briefly on
the display followed by the date and time.
Then “
code 12
” (example) and the sym-
bol will appear. Make sure the code num-
ber on the display matches the code num-
ber on the vial of PocketScan™ Test Strips
you are using. If the code numbers do not
match, code the meter.
Note:
You cannot perform a blood glucose test until you have set up the
meter completely.
