strip edge next to one of the dark-colored half-circles (Figure

is set to

, the PDM beeps when the test

From some PDM screens, you cannot access the Free-
style® blood glucose meter. For example, you cannot
use the meter while you are activating a Pod or when
an alert, alarm, or communication error screen is dis-
played. In these cases, if you insert a test strip, the
PDM beeps to alert you.
The code number on the screen should match
the code number on the side of your test strip
vial (Figure 7-5 on previous page). They must
always match, or your results will be inaccurate.
(See “Set the blood glucose test strip code” later
in this chapter.)
