Announcement of Test Result by Universal Tone
SYMBOL INFORMATION
DISPLAY MESSAGES AND PROBLEM-SOLVING GUIDE
The blood glucose results will be broken down into individual digits and
each digit represents the corresponding number of beeps.
The result is announced three times in succession and each time is
preceded by two quick beeps. So you will hear: 2 quick beeps – results –
2 quick beeps – results – 2 quick beeps – result.
For mg/dL meters, the hundreds are always announced, even when the
result is below 100.
Examples:
80 mg/dL is announced as 1 long beep (0) – 1 single pause – 8
single beeps (8) – 1 single pause – 1 long beep (0)
182 mg/dL is announced as 1 single beep (1) – 1 single pause – 8 single
beeps (8) – 1 single pause – 2 single beeps (2)
For mmol/L meters, the tens are always announced, even when the
result is below 10. The decimal point is represented by 1 quick beep.
Examples:
6.0 mmol/L is announced as 1 long beep (0) – 1 single pause – 6 single
beeps (6) – 1 single pause – 1 quick beep (.) – 1 single pause – 1 long
beep (0)
