• Whenever either one of the displays shown on the left appears
1. Make sure the meter is turned off. Turn meter over so you are looking at the
back.
2. Insert new calibration code chip until it snaps into place.
3. Turn meter on. Make sure the code number matches the code number on
your vial of test strips.
Performing a Test
• Turn on meter
• To check that all parts of the display are working, press and hold down the
button. The display should look exactly like the display shown
• The meter can also automatically start when a test strip is inserted
• Check the calibration code matches the code number on the vial of test
strips

date are not correctly set. It is advisable to set time and date before taking
glucose test when meter is new

until silver strips are inside the meter
• Once strip is correctly inserted, a blood drop symbol flashes on display
• Touch and hold the drop of blood to the edge of the yellow window until it
is completely filled and no yellow colour is visible. Blood will be drawn into
the strip automatically. Do not place blood drop on top of yellow window

will show in 25 seconds

If the meter does automatically shut off, any tests in memory are
saved.

2. Insert the two 1.5 volt AAA batteries one at a time.
3. Slide battery cover back in place. Wait 5 seconds, then turn meter
ON.

is normal and disappears after 30 seconds.
