1. Check the code on the test strip vial before
inserting the test strip
Code numbers are used to calibrate your meter
with the test strips you are using.
2. Insert a test strip to turn on the meter
Start with the meter off. If you have turned the
meter on to change settings or review past results,
turn it off. Remove a test strip from its vial. With
clean, dry hands, you may touch the test strip
anywhere on its surface.
Do Not
bend, cut or
modify the test strips in any way. Use each test
strip immediately after removing it from the vial.
Insert the test strip into the test port as shown.
Make sure the three contact bars are facing you.
Push the test strip in as far as it will go.
Do Not
bend the test strip.
After the black start-up screen appears, the meter
will display the code from your last test. If a
flashing “––” appears instead of a code number,
such as when you are first using the meter, follow
the instructions on the next page to change to a
numerical code.
