Half settings
you can set the penetration depth of the lancet to 1 of
11 possible settings (0.5–5.5). The silver line (depth
setting indicator) on the lancing device indicates the
current penetration depth setting. The higher the num-
ber the deeper the penetration. The half settings for the
penetration depth are indicated by a dot. The penetra-
tion depth 1.5 is set when the line points to the dot
between 1 and 2.
If you have no experience of using this lancing device,
we recommend that you start with a medium penetra-
tion depth setting such as 3.
Rotate the cap of the lancing device until the desired
penetration depth is level with the indicator.
