Insert the test strip into the optical test area under the strip holder, as shown
below.
The meter will automatically turn on and beep, if the sound is enabled.
Observe the display as the meter is turning on. It will show a checkerboard
alternating pattern, as seen in the images below. Make sure the pattern is
regular with no missing light or dark areas in the checkerboard.
After several seconds, an hourglass symbol will be displayed while the
meter runs internal diagnostics to ensure everything is working properly.
