Getting Started
The Meter turns on automatically when a Check
Strip or Test Strip Contact End is inserted into the
Test Port or when
Button is pressed (see Set
Up and Memory).
The Meter turns off automatically after the Check
Strip or Test Strip is removed from the Test Port or
after 2 minutes of non-use.
Meter comes with pre-set time and date. Before
using the Meter for the first time or after a battery
change, check the time and date and update as
needed (see Set Up).
We recommend performing Quality Control Tests
(Check Strip Test, Control Test) for practice before
using your Meter for the first time to test your
blood.
Quality Control Tests should be performed:
• Occasionally as you use the vial of Strips,
• When opening a new vial of Strips,
• When Meter results seem unusually low or high,
or
• Meter was dropped.
